Golf tips that can Improve your Game for Free
Three Steps for a Productive Golf Lesson
Author: Dane Stanton
Article:
It's been many months now of weekly practice our there on the
golf course taking shot after shot. Unfortunately you still
haven't improved your handicap. Your short game is hopeless,
driving inaccurate and you just can't sink a putt to save your
life. What do you do? You decide to take a golf lesson or two.
There are three main points that you need to take into
consideration when it comes to choosing and getting the most out
of your golf lessons. One, the choice of instructor, two coming
prepared to the lesson and three, the expectations you must have
of yourself after each lesson is finished.
Instructor
Your golf lesson is a valuable investment of your time, energy
and hard earned money. Therefore, the first step towards getting
the most out of your golf lesson is locating and working with
the right instructor. The pro at the golf shop may not
necessarily be the right coach for you. Ask your fellow golfers
for recommendations on who they may have heard is a good
instructor or who they have personally used for a golf lesson.
The next step is to find an instructor whose qualifications
match your current level of play. In other words, you don't need
a highly qualified instructor to teach you the basics of
golfing.
In addition, to gain the optimum benefits of your golf lesson,
it is important that you are comfortable with your instructor's
personality and style of teaching. A good personality and
teaching style should consist of encouragement, patience and the
challenging of the student in a positive manner.
Finally, on choosing your instructor, make sure that the length
of their availability matches the number of lessons you wish to
take. There is nothing worse than going through this process,
being comfortable with the instructor and then finding out that
they are not available after the second or third lesson.
Preparation
It is highly important that you come to each one of your lessons
with a series of questions prepared. Take note after each round
of the things you need the most help with. Take a scrapbook and
jot down after every misplaced shot what exactly you did with
your swing and how you felt when you played the stroke.
It is extremely important that you practice everything you have
been taught in between golf lesson sessions. This means that
every time you go to a range or play out on a course you are
constantly applying what you have been taught for every shot you
make. Don't just think that by going to a few lessons, you will
automatically start to play better.
Finally, make sure that you are mentally prepared for the lesson
to be given. Have all of your needed tools and equipment with
you and remember that what we generally get out of something is
in proportion to what we give.
Your Own Expectations
At the conclusion of each lesson you should have reached some
sort of goal or expectation that you had of yourself. Whether
this means you found the answers to every one of the questions
you had for your instructor or maybe you hit further than you've
ever hit before. Whatever it is, just make sure you know
beforehand so you have something to strive for.
Constantly ask you instructor for feedback and make sure you
tell him/her to be blunt with you right from the very beginning.
Constructive criticism is very important if you want to see vast
improvements in your game.
Also, expect assignments and practice techniques that can be
implemented to correct certain aspects of your golf game. Follow
through on these assignments and practice these techniques as
often as possible knowing that it is in practice we improve the
skill level.
