Hey All!

I'm an approaching-middle-age newbie golfer. I took golf as a PE credit back in my college days and I've been known to take part in company-sponsored golf scrambles (very pathetic, but free beer convinced me to try). I took a single lesson last year from a friend who is a pro instructor, but then she moved to another state and I was forced to find another. This year I convinced my wife that it would be fun if we learned together (she'd never swung a club). She was dubious, but agreed to a lesson with a pro. She was hooked immediately and so now, both of us are taking lessons. We had a local pro shop make us a fitted set of inexpensive clubs and we've been swinging ever since.

That's my story - now I'm off to read some of the old posts

    • ^ right here. A short game pitching motion is not the same as a full swing in feel nor intent. It’s just not a mini-swing at all. Now if the instructor said to make slow full swings with a 6i and try to hit them only 100 yards, that would be more in line with what I view full swing instruction to be.
    • How does he fit for clubs with that setup?  I get this to an extent, but plenty of players have slightly different patterns with different clubs throughout their bag, but using that logic why not start with 3 foot putts or 5yd chip shots? I have quite different feels for a 20-40yd pitch shot than I do for a 140yd shot. Loft presentation at setup and impact, ground contact, weight transfer (or lackthereof), etc are all different on a 20-40yd shot vs a full iron shot.  If you enjoyed the lesson and found value in it that's great, personally I'd be a bit annoyed if I went in and wanted to work on full swing stuff and this guy has me doing 20-40yd pitch shots for an hour with my lob wedge.
