took my first lesson today....

[mrprovisional]

Finally after all this talk about getting lessons I finally took my first 1/2 hour lesson. his name is Traye blackburn of Fairway Mews in Springlake NJ.

I worked on my setup, alignment, grip pressure, and took lots of video. Too much to put on youtube. Alot of things improved today from my lesson from where my hands are at setup to finishing my swing while having my hands turn over.

My iron game he said he wouldn't mess around with too much especially when im hitting most of my shots on the money. I hit a few fat but most where dead straight and the divot was right after the ball.

I worked with my 3 wood, I learned to keep my shoulders more squared to the target. I had my shoulders way too open facing the left and he showed me to keep close up my shoulders resulting to almost looking over my left shoulder rather than not seeing it at all.

I cant wait to take this out on the course and ill make sure I post more vids up soon.

I wanna say thanks to everyone who gave their input on my swing and ill be sure to reward you all with a great season of golf and hope you all improve your game.

It's good to hear you improved. I'm going to take my first lesson on Tuesday (I get to leave school early for it :D). How much better were you hitting your 3 wood? And if you were taking them at a driving, which you probably were, did he provide the balls? Or did you have to buy the bucket? I'm unsure on that with my teacher.

I've never heard of having to pay for the balls in addition to the cost of the lesson.

Your balls should come with the lesson...if they don't go somewhere else.
