Trying to better my game (isn't everyone?), and I was wondering what some of your favorite resources were to learn the game?

I currently just watch a lot of youtube, and the Golf Channel's "The Golf Fix".

I was thinking of possibly getting lessons, but I'm a web developer, so I don't make that much money, and if I get them, I want to get them from a PGA certified trainer, and they don't come cheap. ($5-600 on average for a 6 hour block of lessons.)

I am also looking into paying for "The Swing Fix" Golf Channel swing analysis thing.

Just wondering what you all use. Thanks!

I like Martin Hall on The Golf Channel. That's about it. Not too fond of TGC's instruction shows.

I get instruction info here, the Facebook 5SK and Stack and Tilt groups, Richie3Jack, the YouTube channels of various instructors like Dana Dahlquist and Wayne DeFrancesco plus the occasional Twitter link from golf people I follow.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

The sandtrap.

I also take lessons through Evolvr, which is about as good a price as you'll find, if you're willing to do it online.

"The Golf Swing and Its Master Key Explained" by Noel Thomas

This put an end to 20+ years of frustration.  I have no need for any other golf swing instruction.

It is apparently home published and sold only by the author.  Who would have thought?

    • 6 rules changes the PGA Tour is enacting in 2026 (and what triggered them) The PGA Tour shared several rules changes with its players on Tuesday. Here's what you need to know about why the rules have been modified.    
    • JPX ONE Driver - Mizuno Golf Official Website Discover the JPX ONE Driver - /jpxone/jpxone-driver-hero-mobile.webp /jpxone/jpxone-logo-white-lg.svg The World’s first NANOALLOY™ DRIVER... Mizuno is introducing new technology with their JPX One fairway woods and drivers. The new tech for golf but used tech for Mizuno since it is found in their baseball side of the business, is Nanoalloy. Nanoalloy is a microscopic polymer layer put on the face of their titanium driver. What this layer does is change the elasticity of the driver face and increases ball speed over a larger area of the clubface. Adding a bit more elasticity with this layer, they are conserving the golf balls energy from the impact.  Due to USGA rules, this technology falls under their coating regulations. Which add a correction factor to the ball speed testing done for conforming golf clubs. This rule was introduced when Taylormade went to their carbon clubface. Which I didn't know existed.  I am sure that center strikes are at the USGA limits like all other drivers. This has my interest. I am always, "window shopping", for new golf equipment 😉
