I just feel I need to post this out there. I've been playing for way too long to have never taken lessons before, but I was always one of those people who felt that they can do things better on their own. And for the most part, that's how I've done everything. So I ended the golf season last year and started this year's completely beaten down. I felt I was making progress about halfway through the year last year and then it all went away. I couldn't figure it out and it was pushing me towards wanting to put the clubs up for a few years and just stepping away. Then, one night I was just checking out the forum, in the short amount of time that I get to do such things at home, and saw that there was a couple of new guys from Kansas/Kansas City area. I happened to read the one for the guy from Overland Park and saw that he had formerly been a teacher at golfTec, which intrigued me. I had always wanted to do lesson somewhere like that, but I couldn't afford the cost associated with it. Then I noticed that he said he likes to just teach and does lessons on a Pro Bono basis. Well, I thought, let me contact this guy and see if he might be willing to take me on as a pupil. I sent a PM to this guy, and a few days later I got a response. I won't get into the details about what transpired between, but low and behold, he said sure, he would be willing to take on a project as messed up as I am.
I just had my second lesson with him Monday night. He had seen some video of my swing and said that there was quite a bit of work to do, and that it might get frustrating for a while and I might hate him for a bit, but I can honestly say that hasn't happened yet. In only two lessons, I have seen so much change in my swing, it's ridiculous. Now, I'm not saying that I would be a good golfer yet, but, I can definitely tell that he knows what he's doing. I have a long way to go, and many, many hours of practice on the range and in front of the mirror, but I can already tell that this is the best decision I've ever made. I can't express the amount of gratitude I already have for Callawaygolfpro, and I haven't even seen the course yet. I am so looking forward to the time we are going to be spending together.
I have been a member here for a few years now. I love getting to get on here and reading when I can, and maybe contribute what little I have to add. I can honestly say that this is the best group of people I have ever had the opportunity to be a part of in the golf community, and I have seen how well we stand up for each other and reach out when we can. I can now say that I have had the privilege of being on the receiving end of one of the members here, and he had just joined and didn't know me from Adam. Thank You so much Nick. I look forward to gleaning even more knowledge from you in our future sessions!
