Well, golf season is almost upon us up here in New England and I am looking for a new golf instructor.

I managed to get my handicap down to around 16 last year with some lessons, but am looking to give a new instructor a try and see what I think. I am located in Salem, NH so does anybody have any recommendations for a good instructor in the area?

Thanks,
JR

Hello- We may have to wait longer for golf because of weather, but there are certainly things to do while we wait. This winter I have taken advantage of the Hampshire Dome in Milford. To get ready for the approaching season you may try the Willow Creek Golf Academy in Atkinson. I think it is not too far from Salem. I have a lesson in a couple weeks. They have cameras to capture your swing on video so that you can see exactly what you are doing. My lesson is with Matt Prior. Seems like it should be a valuable experience. I can better tell you how this instructor actually is in a couple weeks. Good luck!

I have been looking into Atkinson CC for some lessons. I have been to their range a few times and did like the facility. Looks like it might be a worthwhile place to at least try 1 or 2 lessons and see how things go.

Hmmm maybe I don't even need lessons. I have always just put the club down behind the ball and pushed as fast as I could forward.

I will have to try to bring the club back next time I am at the range...might save me a ton of money on lessons.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.
