Why have Lesson's?

One of the most common questions golfers who want to improve ask is: When should I take golf lessons?

 

Knowledge is power! The sooner the better. Practise then come back for more.

The answer is you should take golf lessons when you’ve decided you want to improve at golf. If you are a begnner, lessons will help you learn the fundamentals before you develop bad habits. If you are an experienced golfer, lessons are a great way to take your game to the next level.

Golf is an incredibly difficult sport to learn. Lessons from a qualified instructor will help you improve much more quickly than learning on your own. But only 1 in 6 golfers pay for golf lessons. Here are some of the top reasons why golfers don’t take golf lessons:

Cost

The biggest reason golfers don’t take lessons is the cost. Golf can be an expensive sport. You can spend hundreds if not thousands each year on golf clubs, training aids, green fees and memberships. The thought of spending even more on lessons can be daunting. This is especially true because most people believe that one golf lesson is not enough to see sustained improvement.

All you need to do is record your golf swing and then send the video to your coach. You’ll get back a detailed video analysis and drills to work on. You can review your lesson whenever you have time and ask your coach questions.

Embarrassed Beginner

If you’re too embarrassed to seek out a coach, you’re not alone. Almost 6% of golfers are embarrassed and that’s why they don’t take lessons. Golf can be intimidating. For many, online golf lessons is the solution. An online golf lesson starts with you sending your golf swing to your coach. You can have a friend record you next time you play a round of golf or you can record yourself. More and more golfers are finding ways to practice golf without leaving their own house.

Bad Past Golf Lessons

We have all been there and got a lesson/tip from a guy at the dricing range. This tip sounds great but is relevent to the other guy and possibly not your swing. Don't take random advise if it's not specific to you and he hasnt got any qualifications to back it up.

The golf swing is all about cause and affect, if you affect 1 aspect it will affect another, this is dangerous to do as it could hurt you further. 1 step forward and 2 steps back.......
