Hi all.

I am pretty new to golf and would like to start some golf lessons. I have been involved in sports my whole life and am fairly athletic, although some of my other sports lead to bad golf habits.

Right now I would like to work on my golf swing, but would also be interested in spending a lesson or half a lesson here or there working on putting, chipping and pitching.

Would anyone in Los Angeles be willing to recommend their teaching pro? If not, how do I go about finding a pro? I know they are in all the pro shops and driving ranges, but how do I determine if they are any good or right for me? I live in Hollywood and work in Torrance. I'm looking for something once a month or maybe once every two weeks.

Thanks.

Hi all.

When I started with golf, I was working in Torrance and living in Westwood. I stopped by The Lakes at El Segundo after work many days and went to the range and took a few lessons from a pro there. I still go back and visit said pro for a lesson now and then. He took me from someone who couldn't find the ball with anything to someone who can break 90 with some regularity. I'll PM you his information.

      Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
