Where to get lessons?

You will meet plenty of people at the range who will teach you the 'innermost secrets' of golf. Fact is that most of them have started playing not long before you. So the answer to the above question is: go to a Professional. As you have seen on TV, even the world's top players have a coach and take lessons. Certified Golf Professionals are the only people qualified to teach you how to play the game.

Lessons from a Pro will cost you money but will be the best investment you'll ever make. Taking the advise from the 'know-it-all' people at the range will likely screw-up your game at the very early stage, and it will take a long time to correct the faults later. The two places to get golf lessons are at driving ranges and golf clubs. You don't have to be a member of a club to get a lesson from the Pro. You bring in money, so they will be glad to help. The usual cost is about $25-40 per 45 min, but you will get reductions for a block booking. If you are a bit on the budget see if they do group bookings, those are also cheaper than individual lessons.



To support your lessons it can be useful to watch some instructional golf videos or DVDs. A good selection covering almost every aspect (or fault) of your your game is available from Purepoint Golf. Their lessons are presented by one of the top golf coaches, Bobby Eldridge, who has given more than 70,000 individual lessons. These DVDs are not cheap, but they show exactly what's needed to improve even small areas of your game. They are worthwhile to check out: Purepoint Golf
