It's really tricky for those of us trying to find some instruction in person!

Choosing a pro around me is very much picking a name out a hat. Some of those names are more expensive, and some are cheaper, but you never know what you are going to get!

The best lesson I ever had was from a passing college lad who asked if he could show me some drills. It was fantastic but I never saw him again.

It really is a(n expensive) minefield!

Also please don't read my post and think I am bad mouthing pros as I know there are lots of excellent ones out there, it is just hard to find the right one!

I spent 2 hours  in person with a well known YouTube instructor only to be told to play right handed instead of left

Wow! That has to be one of the worst experiences I have ever heard of!

I had the same experience.  I did not go back.

AJ’s ‘secret’ is actually my swing thought.  It helps me swing through the impact zone.

    • Day 133: did a stack session. 
    • You can pre-order an R50 here for pretty rapid shipping (these are back-ordered almost everywhere): https://www.playbetter.com/products/garmin-approach-r50-golf-launch-monitor-simulator?ghref=2301%3A700794. This is an affiliate purchase, and I'm willing to kick back lifetime ad-free Supporter membership here on TST or a 90-minute GEARS session for the cost of a regular member lesson (about 1/3 the cost). Also, I'll record a video myself soon when I get an R50.
    • Day 58 - 2024-11-27 Some quick 90-yard shots on a particular hole… before a lesson and testing out multiple Foresight Launch Monitors on GSPro.
    • Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies. 
    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
