Take a Lesson!!

[cstorms]

I have been taking lessons from a family friend who is a scratch golfer/instructor. I cannot tell you how helpful it has been to my swing and general approach to the game. I was so surprised at all of the things I was doing wrong, and the bad habits I had gotten into. I just wanted to post this to encourage anyone who has been thinking about taking a lesson to just get out there and do it.

Hey there. I just moved to Castle Rock, Co. Know of any good instructors around here?

Also, is there a good practice facility that is open late and maybe year round???

I couldn't agree with you more! I've been teaching for 26 years and I can not tell you how tough it is as an educator to work with golfers that have been working on their swings by themselves, watching the golf channel, golf magazines or friends etc. We all have an overabundence of information as it is and it takes a long time to introduce new positions when there are bad habits. I would suggest to all that golf to have a consistant routine regarding lessons and sticking with ONE teacher and one teacher only.
