It is never easy asking for help, but in golf, it is practically a must-do. 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 think that a Pro would criticize too harshly, but they are honest, positive and usually very helpful.
Lessons at the local golf course arent 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 ask you what you think you want to learn: driving, chipping, putting or whatever you think you need assistance 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.
Oh and dont hesitate to ask the Pro golfer any questions you may have and dont worry about whether your question or concern may sound silly - theyve heard it all before and will not make you feel like an idiot for inquiring. If you dont get it, tell the Pro that you do not get it. You should never walk away from a lesson with unanswered questions.
For instance, a strategy might be to concentrate on one thing during a lesson, or on several things. You might start with a lesson on driving; get the grip, the stance, the swing and the follow-through right in one lesson and then practice it 'for real' for a few weeks until you feel that you've got it more or less right. Next time, you might decide to work on your short game, or the putting.
Youve invested in the golfing equipment and it isn't cheap, so it doesnt make sense not to learn how to use it to it's best advantage and improve your abilities, does it?
