Need some swing questions answered...

[Brant17]

I am an ex baseball player so changing my swing has been difficult. I started playing golf 2 1/2 years ago and I am an anywhere from a 6 to 10 hanicap. I have never had a lesson and pretty much play by feel and my natural athleticism.

1st question- I have been an 8 handicap for a year now. I practice pretty hard to become better but can't seem to shave anymore shots off. It's not in my short game either because that is my stronger part. It's all in my iron game. Should I get a lesson?

2nd-where would you go to find someone who is legit to teach you a swing lesson? My swing is straight natural. I have never had anyone show me the propper mechanics. I would like someone to teach me but want them to be good and legit. Any ideas? I live in Pensacola...

Thanks

How do you know you are practicing the right things? See someone who knows what to look for. In 1/2 hour, they'll be able to figure out what you need to do to improve.

Check around the local courses in your area. They should all have access to teaching pros.
