First Lesson on Thursday

I remember some of the same feelings before my first lesson. Go in with an open mind, and be confident that your instructor will be able to help you find some improvements.
In the process, don't let minor setbacks become major detractors from your mindset. Changes might take a while to become second nature, and the goal is overall improvement, not instant gratification.

Congrats on the first lesson coming up, definitely go in with a clear open mind and Im sure they will be able to help get you where you need to be!
Congrats on the lessons. GREAT move. Don't worry about your physical stuff, real or otherwise. That should be part of the initial conversation...where you are at as a player, strengths and weaknesses, goals/what you want to get out of the lesson series, physical impairments, etc. Any pro worth his salt will be able to work around whatever you're dealing with.

Congrats on taking the first step toward improvement! I did the same thing back in March I am so happy that I did! As others have said the pro will be able to work with you no matter what, I will say be patient though. In the beginning you may feel that you are getting worse instead of improving. For me I had grip and address issues that were affecting my whole swing. So I have ingrained those in my head moving forward. It really is a process and if you are committed to getting better take the time to practice and really work on all the drill in between lessons that way you will get the most out of each session.
Again great stuff and good luck with everything cant wait to see the progress in AC!

Lots of good info already said. I just took my first lesson of five scheduled lessons today.
Like others have said go in with an open mind, you will feel overwhelmed with all the info your instructor tells you but listen to them(do not hear there's a difference). Concentrate and focus on what he tells you and ingraining those changes into your game.

Great to hear! Lessons make a world of difference for most people. I had my first in 1973 or 74 and my last, last fall. More tune ups than lessons for me now, but still it is best to have a qualified set of eyes looking things over from time to time. All my work now is on putting.
Good luck with the lesson!
Good for you!
Just remember, if the game was easy there wouldn't be a career called teaching pro

Congrats. Keep after it. Remember that results only come with focused practice. Simply attending the lesson and then trying to think about what was taught the next round isn't enough. You have to do the drills to ingrain the lesson.
