Golf lessons.

i have played for quite a few years. but was never any great shakes, 3 years a go i was ready to sack it as i was getting worse. in febuary of that year i decided to get 100 balls on the range . i had taken some advise of a couple of very good players and read a few tips ,
i changed my stance,grip and swing slightly and low and behold i started hitting it really well. so i made the decision to carry on playing but to put loads of practice in. that season i won player of the year in our golf society and won several comps. i had a great years golf.
the following year went back to never practicing and just playing in the society days and was back to my old self ...shite. so the moral of my story is practice practice practice.

i had a lesson once, he watched me swing and then told me there was some shit on the end of my club, i looked but he said - "no, no,...the other end"!

he said i was standing too close to the ball...........after i have hit it!!

the old ones are the best!!! :)

Golf lessons

1. Buy cheap equipment and lots of lessons.
2. You will act like the bad shot you just hit was some horrible accident, when in fact it is the natural result of your godawful swing. Have a realistic sense of your current game and enjoy each round.
3. 90% of the game is chipping and putting. Practice like that.
4. Smooth and relaxed always goes further than trying to hit it hard when tense.
5. Asking your opponent who was in the 1981 cup final as they are pulling their driver out of their bag is a sure fire way to get them to squib their tee shot into the woods
6. There's always one good shot to keep you coming back
7. It's all about the fun and friendship
8. Oh, and the drinking.

I got talking to a Scottish teaching pro and he reckoned that a few lessons would work wonders. I asked how much it was for a lesson and thought he said sixteen quid, so booked 3 lessons.

I was too embarrassed to back out when I turned up for the first lesson and realised it was sixty quid! But 3 lessons later, and £180 lighter in my pocket, I went from an 11 handicap (which I'd been stuck at for years), to a 5.

Best money I've ever spent on golf and still less than a shiny new driver!

A PGA pro will tell you in one minute what needs changing versus months of trial and error and then probably not getting it right.

You can practice as much as you like but you're probably just cementing faults unless you know what you're doing. Lessons from a pro are the best way to spend money on golf. Don't hesitate.
