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!

Driver: 4DX T 10.5 Evolver w/ Redboard
Hybrids: G5: 16*, 19*, 22*
Irons: Ping Eye 2 +no+ (5-PW)
Wedges: CG12: 52/10, 56/14, 60/10
Putter: C&L flowneckBall: Z-Star


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.

Golf Digest or Magazine has a list of the top teachers in every state.Here's a quick tip, always take the club back before hittin the ball.

10.5 Adams Speedline
13    Adams GT Tight Lies 3wd

19    Adams GT Tight Lies 5wd
4-aw Taylormade R7 irons
56-60 Cleveland wedge

Odyssey 2 ball blade putter


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 take lessons at the golfersware house in burlington my teacher has really helped me. Id definatly call them and ask for Jamie.

    • Day 21 - Good session with driver and 6i. Hitting real golf balls is quite a bit different from the foam balls, still getting used to that change. 
    • There are so many videos comparing and contrasting everything that I am both overwhelmed and more than a bit skeptical. Your comments above are much more valuable than hours of you-tube videos. Generally speaking, I’d much prefer to read something that someone took the time and trouble to write (such as your comments) than a bunch of videos, or worse, meaningless reviews that seem like they are all cut and paste selections of the same script. I’m more of a RTFM type than a watcher of “instructional” videos. By way of explanation, I don’t watch TV either.  So thanks - I’ll take that under advisement. I have an H3 that I bought for $10 that I’ve been carrying around but not sure why. Seems like a cool club, but I just don’t really know what to do with it. 
    • I was using the window as a mirror. Just trying to be a more aware of the feels for a better backswing. Trying to not be as closed from A1 to A2. Then not letting the club head flip inside. What I was feeling was a pressure my right wrist, and like the palm of my right hand was pushing upward against the grip of the club. My right hand was the underside of the swing path.  Going to play around with this a bit more. It looked pretty decent with mirror/window work. Just wanted to jot it down. 
    • Day 4: 3/26/25 Par4Success workout followed by putting through 50 mm gates.
    • Day 249: did a stack putting session and then worked on 5 foot putts for a bit.
