December 25th, 2009Learning from Golf Lessons
It is never easy asking for help, but in golf, it is almost a necessity. Unfortunately, we often ask our buddies and partners, whereas in fact, we should be taking a lesson or two with a professional, usually called the Club Pro.
We may possibly think that a Pro would be too critical, but in fact,they are honest, positive and usually very helpful.
Golf lessons at the local golf course aren’t as expensive as you probably think and they are worth it too, since your game will improve more quickly thus causing you less frustration, making playing golf much more fun for you.
It is of utmost importance to be absolutely honest about your game. The Pro will ask you what you think you need to learn: driving, chipping, putting or whatever you feel you need help with.
Listen carefully and follow the Pro’s instructions. You may have doubts if the Pro changes your stance, your grip or your swing, but really, the Pro does know best.
Don’t hesitate to ask the Pro golfer any questions. Don’t worry about whether your question or concern may sound stupid – they’ve heard it all before and will not make you feel like an idiot for asking. If you don’t get it, tell him/her that you do not get it. You should never walk away from a lesson with unanswered questions.
For example, a strategy might be to concentrate on one thing during a lesson, or on several. You might start with a lesson on driving; get the right grip, the right stance, the right swing, the right follow-through in one lesson, and then practice it for a few weeks until you feel that you’ve got it right. Next time, you might want to work on your short game, or putting.
You’ve bought the golfing equipment and it isn’t cheap, is it? So, it doesn’t make sense not to learn how to use it to it’s best advantage thereby improving your game and abilities, does it?
