I've decided to take lessons early next spring before the season begins and have started to pull together a "short list" of instructors in my area. I live just north of Philadelphia and was wondering if there are any local forum members willing to offer their recomendations for instructors in the area.

I believe both @nevets88 and @JetFan1983 can give you some feedback, but I recommend taking a look at this page:

John Dunigan would be a great choice. Works with kids, PGA Tour players, and everyone in between.

I'd recommend Mario Bevilacqua, but he's out in Vegas now although he comes back now and then. If I were in Philly, I'd try iacas's (I can't find the @ thing) suggest ions.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I'm not sure how much help I could be... I would've recommended Mario Bevelaqua but sadly he moved to Vegas. Agreed on John Dunigan... I've never worked with him, but I like what he's about. Also agreed on checking out the list of 5SK instructors. Honestly, I'd go that route first and pick the guy closest to you.

The best instructors I know unfortunately are in Erie, Southern California, and Florida though, so again, I don't think I'd be much help here. I'm actually a bit embarrassed I don't have any good suggestions for the local area other than what Erik said...

If you're planning it for next spring, you have a lot of time to get something together. I think your best bet would be to book a weekend stay in Erie and then seeing Erik and Dave for a clinic. I really can't think of a better way to kick your season off. Then I would supplement with Evolvr throughout the next months.

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      Hence your Avatar!😜 I drink a lot of water during the day if I’m playing or exercising. I get cramps otherwise.

      If you walk up to a food/drink kiosk at Magic Kingdom and ask the person for a cup of "magic water" they will give you a small cup of Sprite for free. About 3 fingers worth. They don't sell alcohol at MK anymore so I go over to one of the courses while she hangs out there.

      This isn't some kind of natural fact. It's a lot more complicated than this implies.
