looking for an instructor (local or online)

[tws1098]

I have decided to continue my search for a golf instructor to work with and wanted to see if you all know of anyone in the south central PA area. For now I would settle for someone on here to share some of their insight based on my swing videos. I can take many of all different clubs and shot types. So if any of you low cappers or instructors on here would like to help me out that would certainly be cool.

I would continue to post my swing in the instruction section but I get too many contradicting comments. Thanks in advance for any thoughts on a local instructor or offers to help.

bro I would recommend a instructor to work with you hands on. Call a local shop or a local course that you like and ask who they recommend you call. Posting your video online might help out a little but IMO it wont take you to that level you want to go.

This is my problem...the pros considered to be the ones worth going to around here are over $100 a lesson and I just can't afford to be taking several lessons at that kind of rate.

really? try a local non private course. We have the park district courses that are open to the public and they have a rate going of 30 a lesson and 100 for a package of 4. The instructors all have their pga license or whatever it is and each course has one who works there

What is the best way to find a pro in a certain area? Are they ranked by the PGA? Is there someplace you can find reviews of the local pros?

Word of mouth is obviously the best.

What I've done is to find out a potential instructors lesson time. I've taken my lessons at ranges and muni's. I call up to arrange an appointment and there is the usual haggling over a time spot. I'll figure out when they have an already scheduled appointment that I can attend. I tell them I will call back to schedule an appt when my schedule clears up. Since they give their lessons at public ranges, I get a stall close enough to hear and observe their scheduled lesson. If I like how the instructor communicates, I'll catch him/her right after the lesson or call later.
