First lesson in the morning!

[JHC09]

Any suggestions going in? I'm excited. I've been playing for just over a year and have gotten my handicap down to under 14 but have sort of been stuck in the mid to high 80's for a few months now. Figured professional lessons would help a lot.

The biggest thing I would say that would help is to go in being open minded. Chances are you have your own ideas of what is wrong with your swing and what you should be working on. Be prepared to hear that you may be wrong.

One of the biggest things, IMO, that can make lessons non-productive is a student that wants to listen to a pro only if they agree with them.

To elaborate, I think this stems from the fact that what you feel you are doing and what you are actually doing are very rarely the same thing. There is a discontinuity there that can make it hard to comprehend, mentally.

Just be open minded and enjoy yourself.

Don't bring your own thoughts. Just swing, and then only really think about the stuff he gives you.

Make sure you bring your authentic swing - not the one you've been tinkering with after watching The Golf Channel.
