It has never easy asking for help, but in golf, it is practically a necessity. Unfortunately, we often ask our friends and partners, when in reality we should take a lesson or two with a professional, usually called the Club Pro.
We may think that a Pro would criticize too harshly, but they are honest, positive and usually very helpful.
Lessons at the local golf course aren't as expensive as you might think and they are worth it because your game will improve more rapidly and cause you less frustration, making the game much more enjoyable for you.
It is of vital importance to be absolutely honest about your game. The Pro will enquire of you what you think you need to start with: driving, chipping, putting or whatever you feel you need help with.
Listen to the Pro golfer very carefully and follow the Pro's instructions. You may have doubts if the Pro alters your stance, your grip or your swing, but honestly, the Pro does know what is best.
Please don't hesitate to ask the Pro golfer any questions you may have and don't worry about whether your question or concern may sound silly - they've heard it all before and will not make you feel like a fool for inquiring. If you don't understand, tell the Pro that you do not get it. You should never walk away from a lesson with unposed 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 invested in your golfing equipment and it isn't cheap, so it doesn't make sense not to learn how to use it to it's best advantage and improve your abilities, does it?
