I am, but I'm new and haven't really started playing, so I probably won't be much help.

I'm probably going to take a clinic or maybe some lessons with Chuck Will at the Dulles Golf Center.

The site is www.dullesgolfcenter.com

It might be worth checking out.

Olney Golf Park's pro just missed the cut at Oakland Hills and is one of GD's best golf instructors. Not sure where you are--DC's big enough with a lot of suburbs--that Olney could be in your backyard or an hour away.

For a more serious regimen, look into http://clubgolfmd.com/ in Gaithersburg, founded by the guy who started up Titleist Performance Institute.

I've taken lessons from Marty Johnson, the teaching pro at Redgate Golf Course in Rockville. He helped my swing a lot, and he's listed in Golf Digest as among the best instructors in the area. And his prices are pretty reasonable, 40 bucks for a half hour or 200 bucks for 6 half hour lessons.

+1 for Bob Vitti.

He's my HS coach and really turned my swing around this year for the better.

    • Flying into ATL on Sept 11 (Thu), early, leaving Sept 15 (Mon), late. Dates are fixed. Trying to hit the best RTJ Trail stops without spending half the trip in the car.   Plan: Thu: Grand National (Lake or Links) Fri: GN AM, then drive to Capitol Hill, play Senator Sat: Capitol Hill – Judge Sun: Ross Bridge Mon: Oxmoor Ridge early, drive to ATL   Thinking about squeezing in Cambrian Ridge after Capitol Hill—worth it or too much? Would love any feedback or tips from those who’ve done it.
    • Day 73 (13 Jul 25) (note: forgot to post the "day" for the past few days, up to day 73) - Easy day in the backyard, with time on the 50deg wedge and the mat (simulating tight lies around the green) working on low spinners.  Love using this mat as it is small and portable but also lends to being a type of alignment rod to get a proper setup.  Finished up with a few swings with the 54.  
    • Congrats on the new leg of your journey - the challenge of learning something new while dealing with Parkinson’s is totally awesome.
    • Played several holes today with my Buddy's left haded clubs.  I was going to order just woods, but after playing again today and hitting the irons well, I will be ordering a complet set of Left handed Clubs.    They are Callaway Edge, Regular flex.  I am excited !  Will let you know after I try them and let you know how well they performed.    Retired Old Man, Terry
    • Depends in part on what lie the greens crew left me. If it's first cut of rough or fairway and clear shot to cup, it's an 8i chip and run. If it's shaggy, or I have to go over ridge or bunker, it's a cut shot with a 58* LW.
