Hello everyone, I am new here but an avid golfer since the age of 6.  Since moving to the DC metro area 4 years ago I only end up playing in a couple outings for work and when on vacation to visit my father in Arizona.  This year my wife has made me commit to get back into things and signed me up for the AM tour.

With so much time off there are obviously areas that need tweaking.  As much as I would love to use my dad's pro from his club, it isn't very easy to get a lesson in DC from someone in Arizona.

Any suggestions on some of the top pro teachers in the area?  With a low handicap I want to be sure that I am woriking with someone who is able to help me get even better as I would like to have my handicap down to close to 0 within a year or 2.

Hi Jeff,

I am just wondering if you have had any luck finding a quality golf instructor here in DC.  I was once a 4-handicap, and now play to about a 10 because I play at most four times per year.  I want to rebuild my swing (and the rest of my game) from the beginning and do not want some quick-fix driving range pro.

    • No, but I spent (marginally) less time in the trees at Southern Pines, so it definitely played wider for me 😆. It definitely felt wider.
    • Have you measured? 🙂
    • I'm bad about taking pictures, but here are a few Hole 1 on Duke, looking toward the green. The elevated green with bunkers surrounding it was a theme. The other theme was pin placements that were tough - this one is pretty far left. There were basically no easy pins on this day.     Hole 3 at Pine Needles. An extremely cool hole. Hole 5 at Pine Needles. The picture doesn't do the green site justice. Green of 6 at Southern Pines. A wild green, and a really cool setting at the edge of the property: Hole  Tee shot on 5 at Tobacco Road. Flag is on the flag, the huge fairway is to the right. Hole 8 at Tobacco Road. Downhill, medium length par 3 with this pin in the front part of the green. Really cool looking shot. A look at the pin placement and cottage on Tobacco Road 14. I hit one of my best shots of the trip here, to about 15 feet. 
    • Yes, but season 2 being all of six episodes is a bit of a let-down, even if the season itself wasn't.
    • This is one of the greatest posts I've ever seen in my life on sports message boards like this!! Bravo, Sir!! 👏
