And I will have video as well, as it is part of the lesson package.

The instructor seems to have some great credentials as well, anyone familiar with him? He teaches out of Olympic Hills, in the suburbs of Minneapolis.

Jeff is recognized for his perceptive eye and his ability to diagnose swing problems quickly and efficiently. His teaching philosophy is based on setting up in balance and utilizing the student's strengths. Jeff was most recently named the 2003-2004 "Golf Digest" Top Teacher in Minnesota, as well as, the 2003 & 2005 "2007 Golf Magazine" Top Instructor in the Midwest Region, the 2000 "Golf Magazine" Top Instructor in the Ohio Valley Region, and the 1999 Minnesota PGA Teacher of the Year.

That does sound good, sometimes i wonder if getting a instructor could be a good way to go.

I had my first ever lesson the other day and after 2 hours of working on my new swing on the range im hitting the ball 10-15 yards further with my irons. Lessons are definitely the way to go if you are committed to practicing the new things you are being taught.

Started on the range. hit 3 balls with low iron, high iron, and driver.

Immediately he found the problem and knew how to correct it.

My problem. I was addressing the ball perfectly. My divots would be aiming left and the ball would dive to the left. My problem is with my shoulders moving before my hands. I am currently working on bringing my hands down to around hip level before my shoulders fly open. Also I never really rolled my hands over so I have to work on swinging out and rolling wrists over.

I went to range afterwords and tried working on it but didn't have much more success.....but practice makes perfect
