I just wanted to see what kinds of things your teacher has done to really help you out....besides the lessons. My instructor uses a program called swing viewer and he made me a copy of it and gave me a bunch of different tour pros videos so I could compare them to mine. He also has given me the unlimited range pass for half price ($50). I cant tell you how much being able to watch my swing at home compared to other players has helped me! The $150 I spend a month on the lessons and then the $50 I spend for range balls hurts the wallet a little bit, but damn does it sure help me out alot!

I've never taken a lesson, so I can't answer this question too well. I can answer it for people I've played with, though: the best thing any pro ever did for them was give them only one thing to think about, ever. I think it's physically impossible to think about more than one thing during a golf swing if you want to hit the ball even reasonably well.

I haven't recieved any party favors from my pro... he's a great guy and is willing to chat with you between custormers at the practice tee. He gave me some tips and I wasn't there for a lesson. I guess you could call that a freebie.

I dont know, its just a very expensive hobby. I think it is well worth it, dont get me wrong, but with greens fees, gloves, and everything else that you dump money into....it damn sure adds up quick! Range balls here are average around 9 dollars for a bucket of 150.

    • You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.
    • Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green. 
    • I walk 30 mins a day on my lunch break. It is not very intense (since i dont want to get sweaty in my work clothes), so just a touch above leisurely. 3 days a week I walk on the treadmill for 60 mins. I alternate the incline from 4 to 10 for a couple minutes, once every ten minutes. I lift my kettlebells nearly everyday. I have a couple complex routines. I find just 15 minutes and my heart rates is elevated
