Thanks for the input guys. We're based in UK and have a guy called Jamie Donaldson (not the former Ryder Cup player) who is a level 4 instructor. He's based at Woburn which is around 2 1/2 hours away. He coaches Ian Poulter and has worked with Adam Scott. It's  £100 an hour for a private session but first session has to be 2 hours.

Expensive? Yes, however we spend upwards of £600 on a set of irons so for something that could help you for the rest of your playing days it sounds like a good investment

Looking at aimpointgolf.com, there's a link to register for his combined express 1&2 course (Nov 15).  It lists the price as 99 GBP. http://www.aimpointgolf.com/clinic/6408

Yup. That's the way to do it. Group sessions. Not individuals.

Aim point express is definitely worth the money. Super easy to learn.

Those that have trouble at first benefit from buying a level and practicing with it for a bit. I've yet to meet people who can't feel the slope pretty well once they figure it out.

I bought one and practiced the Aimpoint putting.  I found that I am typically wrong by about plus of minus 2%.  Sometimes, by even more.  Another thing I found is that even for a 10 foot putt, the slope can vary by a few degrees based on where I place the level.   What starts out as a 2% at your feet may go to 0% in the middle and -1% at the pin area.   That is, it is not exact science.   The only way I can improve a lot with this method is to chart my home course greens.   But that would be too much work instead of being a hobby.   Since I retired and started playing every day, golf has become a pastime.  I.e, I've gotten less serious about improving vs enjoying.

That's pretty darn rare.

And why you read it in proper spot.

This is not my experience.
