When you buy a golf lesson you’re buying the professional’s experience. You’re taking advantage of years of know-how in helping golfers get the most out of their games and to enjoy the game that much more. They’ve seen players like you and I before, they know very quickly what is wrong with your swing and they will be able to put a plan in place to get you moving forwards again.
Better still they will be able to back it up with equipment and statistical advice so you know you are doing the right things.
If you last had a lesson 20 years ago and your trust of a certain professional’s method was an issue then things have moved on substantially – whatever part of your game you want to work on, you will be able to with the perfect mix of professional and technology.
And if you don’t want to go down the tech route then you don’t have to. It’s your lesson, the communication channels will be open and you’ll get plenty from it whatever route you want it to go down.
Unlike those online purchases that were made on a whim you will leave a golf lesson with not only sound advice but a plan of how to go progress. So, when you’ve forgotten certain elements of what was said, you will have a record – either written or voice recorded – of what you can be working on.
There are packages involved so, if you are serious about your game or just want to enjoy it more, then you can finally piece together a plan. Many of us are prone to talking about golf lessons but never acting and this gives you the incentive to play more golf, hit more balls, have something to properly work on and get your handicap down. You might look forward to that weekend medal or your annual trip with a bit more enthusiasm or you might get to represent your club and play all the great courses in your local area.
If you're reading this then this is likely to be your favourite hobby. Golf offers so much; the chance to play amazing courses in amazing parts of the world and to meet so many wonderful people. And, while that enjoyment should not be determined by how well you played, you will look back on all these experiences with a lot more fondness if you played nicely.
