So you’ve hit a few balls and you are thinking of taking up golf. Or maybe you’ve been playing for years and you would like to find a way to improve. Whether you are a seasoned Tour pro, a raw beginner, or anyone in between, at some point you will likely wonder if you should invest in some golf lessons.
Golf is a complex game where so many elements of the golf swing are interconnected. One minute aspect of your swing can impact the results dramatically. Because we can not see ourselves in action, we have to rely on others to view our swings and give us feedback, yet so many of us are willing to entrust that responsibility to our friends and playing partners, most of whom are completely unqualified to offer such advice. Instead of professional feedback that we would receive during golf lessons, we are told the famous golf axioms; “keep your head still,” “keep your arm straight,” so on, and so forth.
Golf lessons from a qualified professional are likely to help any golfer improve on their game. There are different kinds of golf lessons that are sure to fit any golfers schedule, budget, or needs. Beginners might opt for group golf lessons at a local golf course. Group golf lessons are less expensive and focus on the most basic fundamentals of the golf swing, such as grip, stance, and posture. More advanced golfers are likely to benefit more from a one-on-one golf lesson with the professional .Their trained eye can not only help diagnose any problems you have with your swing, but they can also supply you with specific practice drills that you can work on after your golf lesson.
Today’s golf lessons are often more than just a teacher watching a pupil hit golf balls. Modern video equipment, and computer programs designed specifically for analyzing the golf swing, can be used to examine your swing in super slow motion so that the smallest faults can be identified and resolved.
Another advantage to golf lessons is that the professional can analyze the clubs you are using and help you decide if they are proper for your game. With the hundreds of brands of golf clubs on the market it is hard to know if your equipment is ideal for your game. Today’s professional has the resources to analyze your game from top to bottom during your golf lesson, your clubs included. That kind of expertise and feedback will make golf lessons beneficial for anyone, no matter what their ability.

Golf LESSONS:Learn from paper Pro, or one who beat the pro for cheaper? (cont.of teaching on city course)?
See, by saying that only the PRO can teach (public/city owned course, tax payers money) at his price, is saying that if you are poor, and cant afford the PRICE we charge, YOU CANT LEARN to PLAY GOLF.
YOU MUST STRUGGLE UNTIL YOU DECIDE TO PAY $$$50-$$75 per hour, and then you still may not learn in timely fashion, IT WILL TAKE YOU 3 years at $75 a LESSON, for 156 weeks (3yrs) thats $11,700 versus, me charging $10-$15 dollars a lesson.
So far I have only heard that it is disrespectful, there is no law barring it or making it illegal, so I guess I can keep teaching, but I will call the City Attorney today to really find out…..
You can dispense all the advice you want for free, but once you start charging then you are getting into an area of soliciting for business on a city property where they have already contracted with someone to provide that service. Whether you are better or not has no bearing on it. There is also no statement that prohibits the poor from learning, if you want to give cheap lessons you can do them at a driving range, public park, soccer field, whatever. The important point is the city has already contracted that service to someone else.

Give your lessons in your backyard and stop doing it at practice facilities that already have golf professionals. To your 1st paragraph, the answer is yes. There are things we’d all like to do and can’t afford. I wanna strap in a Ferrari and drive it 180mph around Monza. It ain’t happenin’. Why? I CANT AFFORD IT.
