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.

    • Day 66 (15 May 26) - Played in Friday men’s shootout - solid round of 81 (39/42) 7 of the 11 pars were up and down 1 putts (29 total).  Short game came to the rescue….
    • Thanks, Matt, for the AI summary.   I found the probability interesting.   It was mentioned that the host talked to a college coach, and no college coaches were knocking down his door trying to recruit him.   He was on the JV team last year, this year being the only time on varsity.
    • I started taking my son with me when he was 2-1/2 but only with my regular group.  I asked before I started taking him if they were ok with it.  Everyone was ok with it and they let him ride with them often. And, they had permission to scold him if he was doing anything wrong.  I think the first time I took him and played with strangers he was almost 4.  By then, he knew golf etiquette and was very well behaved.   If the father of the kid in question here did not take proper measures to control the kid...it is not the kid's fault.  The father should know better.  Being the type of person I am, I would have probably politely said something to the kid myself and if the father was not taking care of any mess he made in bunkers I would have definitely asked "Hey, you going to rake the mess he made? How would you like to land in there and have to play your next shot from there?"
    • Day 591 - 2026-05-15 Worked on things while watching the PGA.
    • One has to wonder what in the world could be going thru her mind standing over the ball and with each one of those take aways and not hitting the ball.  My brain would lock up completely.  If she played with the guys and gals I play with someone would inevitably yell "While we are young" (which we are not) or "just hit the damn thing"
