Go see if someone runsa  golf camp, or get a group of guys together who golf. Alot of instructors run discount prices if you do a group instruction.

Go read a few books, i like Jim Mclean, and i have to say Stack and Tilt as well. I would stay away from Hogan, just because he's way to strict on how he hits the club, and most people are not Hogan. He has a few good tidbits, but i wouldn't try to copy him 100%.

Another great youtube golf lessons guy:

This guy puts it into such simple terms. Something I really need as a golfer. I'm already feeling better about my swing, considering a week ago I felt like someone who has never tried the game of golf in his life.

This guys also on You Tube. What he does is analyze video swings of famous players in slow motion. Watch how they get their weight on the  forward leg and take a divot in front of the ball. ( For every other "rule" one of the greats breaks it.)

PS: It's free to watch others swings.

PSS: Take advantage to every thing your school offers. Lessons, discounts, old clubs in the basement - whatever!

I hate that guy ... he's like a vacuum saleman.

Not that there's anything wrong with selling vacuums ...

When I started golf, I started with some old used up golf clubs, woods and irons. I remember that I had bought them from a retired military officer and he was generous enough to give me a discount on the golf clubs and some golf balls. I later moved on to buying good quality clubs like Ultra and V Ram.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
