Myself is guitar teacher, I know the huge differece having lessons or not having lessons. It is all a matter of time, you eventrully figure it out if you smart enogh. But take you forever if no one tells you whats the trick. Anyways, I want to know how much does lessons usually cost. I am paying $60 per hour for the head-of-pros at the biggest golf club in town. I thought it is really cheap. So I basiclly see him every week for an hour. And I started this season with a Max Handicup (130+), now I am a 100. It is not even 3 month.

I am a mid-high handicap. And I don't like play with low handicaps. I alway thinking " shit, I got hurry up! run forest run! they are all watching..." That makes my shots even shittier. I like play with people slightly better than me, so we are pretty much share the same speed and also I can learn a few things from them.

Finanlly, I recieved my custom fitted Ping i15. Went to driving range for couple hours last night. I love them. Forgiving, but easy to work with (I am only start learning fade and draw). Long irons are bigger and more forgiving. I hit some really good shot with 5-iron, which never happend before. For far, I got my Callaway Diablo diver, Nike SQ 3 wood, Ping i14 irons and G15 hybrids, couple Cleveland wedges, all I need now is better putter and lots of practice~~ :)

What I am thinking is, I practice a lot. And I see a quick improvment in my game, I am thinking may be in the near future, I can "work the ball" too. A set of irons are expensive. Why don't I just get a set of i15. I may get frustrated once a while, but in long run, save me some money and improve quicker. What do you guys think?

What is "Workbility"? What is "Work the ball"? I hear that a lot. I am trying to decide if I am going to go for PING i15 or G15. I can strike G15 better. i15, I miss sometimes. I am willing to gain a little more "workbility" if i15 can help me. But what the is that?

Thanks guys. I appriciate all the advise. They are all great advise, but I am still confused and don't know who to listen to. So I decide to go for some lessons... I just bought a 5 lesson package from a highly recongnized instructor here in town. Lets see what pro is gonna make me work on.... Thanks again!

Thanks guys. Those are great points. I did put a lot of focus on driver and irons. I haven't really work on short game at all. I need to start doing that. And keep up the striking practice. I am getting PING i10 irons and some new Hybrids. Hope that helps too. I am currently using "Alien", the cheapest set you can find. Whole set including from driver to putter with bags and everything, for $200 bucks. Brand new. I actually like them because I am not afraid hit the ground with them. They are not forgiving at all. I have to hit them perfect to make the ball fly.

This is my second year, I am pretty consistant being inconsistant. So far I played 5 or 6 games, they are 107, 106, 103, 112,107. Typical me on a 400 yards par 4. I can tee off of a 230 yards, iron to close to green, pitch on to the green, add another 2 putting. That is when I don't screw up on any of those shots. BUT, I constantly screw up this or that~ like, tee off into the woods, pitching from one side green to another side, 3 or 4 putts on the green.... I saw most of you guys are in the range of 70s - 90s. That is really cool. I would like to be able to that. But It seems I need to work on everything, so I am kind lost, dont know where to start. And how to do it in driving range... Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

My first game 150..ish.. over par. This is my second season, my first game is 107, 2nd - 106, 3rd -112 (rainning), 4th -107.

A tee off of 300 yards with a pink lady's ball I found in the woods.
