Washington Post Top Tips to Help Make Sure Golf Lessons Improve Your Game If you decide to take some golf lessons there are a number of things you can do to make sure you get the most of them and spend your hard earned money as wisely as possible.
Always take lessons with a specific goal in mind — Before you start taking any golf lessons it is important that you have a specific goal in mind. This will not only give you something to track your progress against but also let your teacher assess how realistic it is and let them plan how to best help to achieve that goal.
If you are 20 handicapper for example and are expecting to be a scratch player after 1 lesson then your teacher will be able to discuss with you how achievable that is and whether perhaps it is worth considering an adjustment in your expectations! Seek help for the weaker parts of your game — While beginners will want to focus on the basics of the game in general to build a good foundation more experienced players should aim to focus lessons on things specific to their own game. Better players analyse their game so practice is specific to addressing their specific weaknesses.
So if want to make some real strides in your game some lessons focused on improving the weakest parts of your game can pay the biggest dividends. Tracking your high level stats is a perfect way to identify the weak parts of your game and some lessons aimed specifically at addressing those areas can be a great way to to help you achieve lower scores.
The same will inevitably be the case with golf lessons so it is worth doing some research to find the teacher who you feel will best help you. Ask around about the teachers in your local area or search online for some reviews. How much experience does the instructor have?
Do they use technology, such as video analysis, as part of their lessons? Just like it is not compulsory to have lessons at all it is also not compulsory to take a lesson from your club professional.

And finally, do not automatically sign up for a series of lessons straight away.
Be mentally prepared and work hard between lessons — Change is not easy and taking a golf lesson focused on your weaknesses can be a humbling experience. So be prepared mentally for the ups and downs that come with trying to implement the changes a golf lesson is aiming for.
It is not unusual for you to feel you are going backwards before you go forward. Do not be embarrassed though — you are not going to hit a shot so bad that a teacher has not seen it many times before! And remember to work hard between any series of lessons on the drills and changes that were proposed. The number of lessons you take is less important than the amount of time a player spends working on what the teacher went over in each lesson.
Little or no practice between lessons will likely result in little or no progress and wasted money. The brain needs time to implement the change. So spend as much time as you can practise what you have learned in one lesson before you move onto the next. Spreading golf lessons out and not bunching them into a very short space of time will help with this. People have different goals. I could go on here, but you get the idea.
If, for example, you wanted to change your body-type, you would expect to work out and eat right until you get where you want. Permanent changes come only by un-learning old habits and beliefs. Re-training muscles, thought process, beliefs, habits. Even something as simple and as natural as which hand you write with would become a challenge if you were suddenly asked to switch hands and start writing with the other one.
You could manage it at first, but it would be awkward and uncoordinated for a while. Eventually though, if you kept at it and worked on it every day, you would eventually get as good at writing with the other hand as you are with your current writing hand.
But because as a singer your whole body-not just your voice- is your instrument, there are many physical and mental things that must be re-learned before permanent change takes place.
Think about it. Almost everyone that can sing was born with that ability. Ask yourself the following question:. Not everyone is looking for everything I mentioned at the beginning of the article.
