Bascially what the instructor told me was I had a descent swing for only playing for 3 months but my grip was all wrong. It was a very strong grip (slice preventing grip) and my follow through wasn't great. She fixed that and told me I would start hitting the balls to the right. Sure as shit, I hit almost every ball to the right.

No I know there is a method to her madness, because I can feel that I am striking the ball alot better, and my swing even feels better. I just would really like to hit the ball straight.

I am open to any suggestions. I am going back to see her but it will not be for a month or so.

Thanks

unfortuneately, after lessons, you will suck again for a little while, while you groove back into your swing. but don't worry, you'll only get better than before. proper mechanics should only lead to better scores.

I suggest going to the range to get used to your new swing and grip. Do it a few times over a week's period, rest a few days, then go play. You should see a noticeable difference.

Muscle memory doesn't happen overnight but repeated practice can. Keep it up, the new grip changes everything and it will take some time to adjust.

Sucking after your first lesson is pretty much a given. You should get used to the changes and start sqauring up the club a little better soon.
