First Lesson Last Night..

[trog2233]

After golfing for 10 years I finally broke down and got my first lesson last night. I've tried to fix things by video and correcting myself in the past and I thought it was working well. I WAS WRONG! After this lesson I was doing everything wrong. He changed my grip, hip turn, shoulder turn.....u name it and its changed. But just after just one lesson i'm hitting the ball farther and straighter. I'm sure its gonna take time and more lessons to change the swing. I know everyone always preaches to take lessons but I have to definitely agree now. Great experience!.

Great to hear that your immediate short term experience has been so positive. From the sound of your post, it seemed as if your instructor totally rebuilt your swing from the beginning and i'm a bit surprised that you saw an immediate improvement. Most golfers that I know who had their flawed swing broken down and correctly built back up spent many frustrating months undoing the bad habits and doing the good things with nothing but frustration and despair on the course during this transitional period.

Yea i was surprised too but I still need alot more practice with it. I just hit balls in the driving range. Taking it to the course is a whole different story.
