Hi all!!! My game has transformed!!!

Im driving the ball an average of 243 yards, my putting is down to an average of 33 and my short game is light years ahead of where it was! Problem is I have lost ALL ability to strike an iron. I can not and will not continue to play golf anymore if I cant get a handle on this. Upon advice from a trusted friend, I am going to see a pro for help. Problem is, Ive seen a few and have not seen much result. Looking for a reasonably priced instructor in dfw (preferably the Frisco area) who can be flexible enough to just help me with my irons problem. Don’t need a 12 pack of lessons or a swing overhaul. Just wanna play golf and irons shots are the meat and potatoes. If anyone here could recommend a good flexible pro that could help me, I would be very grateful. Again, looking in dfw area mainly the Frisco area. 
 

Thanks all...

Hey, man, you're the one asking for help in the "DFW" area and as a guy from PA, I thought DFW meant "Dallas/Ft. Worth." Good luck.

I know you said "preferably in the Frisco area" but I'd think you'd be okay with driving a short distance "in the DFW area" for good instruction.

I know Dallas National is a pretty fancy golf course in the Dallas area but I am not intimately familiar with it, so Im a little unsure of how far. Let me google it

its 33 miles south of me

That was going to be my second recommendation.

I have an interview set up with Cody, the Director of Golf at Old American Golf Club.  I live in The Tribute, so it would be quite convenient.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
