1. Leave your ego at home, let it rest for a few days.

2. Pack an open mind full of desire to learn.

3. Do whatever the instructors tell you to do (they'll tinker with grip, stance, ball position, backswing, followthrough, etc. Do what they say... it won't feel right, but do it anyway! On day two, it really wont feel right, remember you left your ego at home and do it anyway!

4. Resolve in your own mind that you're going home with a system to improve your game - write down the resolve that you have to continue doing what they told you to do until it begins to feel right, which will be awhile!

Otherwise, all of the money you spent on the school will be wasted!

As one who went to a three day Ben Sutton Golf School a few years ago -- what tmker says is 100% true IMO.

i had a lesson with the pro at my club and he has been there for almost 30 years. he says my swing was too high and i dont turn my shoulders enough. he also changed my wrist position so i was laying the club off which for about 2 months made me worse. i am 6 foot 1 and he would be 5 foot 6. i think different swings suit different people and since i went back to my old swing i have been starting to get back to my original ball striking. i try to look at others and get their opinions and alter my current swing instead of completely altering it.

Go there just to learn new things. If you doubt about what they are telling you, you shouldn't do it because in your head, you'll be thinking "This ain't gonna work".

I went to a golf school for a week once... I remember that the guy wanted me to have a more flat swing, and I did it. What happened was that I started playing "Army Golf" (left, right, left, right...). This was 3 years ago, and if I kept with what my coach told me to do, I gess that by now, I could be close to scratch. It made me lose 1.5 years of my carreer.

What I mean is: you should do what you think is right. If you don't trust your coach, then change, or if you can't, just don't listen to the guy. Just pretend you do
