THP,
I am considering investing in some lessons for this season.
My question to you all is what your thoughts are on getting lessons from a pro at a local course or from the pro at a local retail store, or golftec type facility...
I'm interested to hear about experiences, improvement, area of focus, and overall recommendation.
The one time I worked with a pro, it was in college at a local muni. I liked my experience there, but would like more insight on the other options.
Thanks for the help.
I do think I positioned the question wrong... I really want to know from a resources perspective is it more valuable to have the simulator and launch monitors etc. or to have real ball flight out on the range or course.
In terms of how instruction is approached if your primary input is visual of my swing and numbers that the launch monitor gives.
OR
Primary input is visual of my swing and visual of actual ballflight...
Thanks.

Good question, but I think you are looking at it in a different light. You put the word "pro" in front of both of them. If you are actually referring to 2 specific people, then you should be checking into their experience, their background, maybe even how likeable they are. Both of these gentlemen could be cut from the same cloth but took separate paths in their careers. Sure one may have been exposed to more live play, while the other may do more training on a simulator. I would say see what they have to offer and what fits your game before deciding a club pro is different than a retail pro. IMO of course
