So I know this comes up often as we talk about ways to improve our games, but I just want to talk a little bit about how valuable a lesson can be for your game..
This past year, I played some of the best golf of my life. I was hitting the ball extremely well, but I could sense as the season went along that my contact was slipping a bit. Rather than get a lesson, I let the year pass, and then proceeded to spend the first few months of this golf season full on struggling. Questionable iron contact, everything draw/hooking, and while I was able to keep it in the 70s, I was not really sniffing par.
Finally, I gave in and went to see the guy who has worked with my swing before. I'd call him 'my pro' because he's about the only guy that has seen the issues in my swing that allow me to transition back into competent ball striking. An hour session and a LOT of range time later, I am back to hitting the ball as well as I have ever made contact, and enjoying every second I am on the golf course.
I really wish I'd done it sooner, as I think finding the right pro to work with you and make sense of your swing is paramount. It makes the game a ton more fun, regardless of your current abilities. It's something I intend to do at the start of every golf season, and any time I feel like my swing is slipping a bit.
Just thought I'd share, and I am sure there are more people ready to share some awesome stories about a lesson changing the way they look at golf. GET LESSONS!!!!
