If it ain’t broke, don’t make it even better?if it ain't broke.....
There is no ONE way to swing a club. Many camps, many principles.When you have the stark differences - really opposites - of opinions in another thread regarding weight shift from so many who are far more knowledgeable than me, that would be one pretty good answer to the question “why are you not scheduling lessons”.
If one of the sides is correct, the other cannot be. Which side should I choose to teach me the golf swing?
That’s the only response that would have made sense to me. Thank you!There is no ONE way to swing a club. Many camps, many principles.
Reality is, best way to find a pro that works well for you is trial and error. As much as school of thought matters, so too does if they mesh with you personality and goals wise as well.
Just be honest with them, and then see if they’ll work or not work with what you want.That’s the only response that would have made sense to me. Thank you!
People are criticized for wanting to take lessons but not wanting to change their entire swing. The above may be why.
(Not so) Hypothetical… I’m a student who knows I have a low ceiling on improvement and changing poor habits. I believe this because of experiences with several different instructors. (So it must be me, right?) But I want to get more out of those limited abilities. So I ask you - a potential instructor - to trust my self-evaluation, and then follow up by asking can you help me improve, even slightly?
What’s your response?
*This is an honest inquiry, not a pissing contest. I want to improve as badly as any other golfer. But there is a little trust issue with the instruction process and my ability. I’m willing to put in some work, even knowing the potential is low… say… bogey golf at best. And I want to believe there is the possibility through instruction.

I guess whichever would get me to bogey golf. I think finding and trusting the right instructor would bring about the best chance. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the easiest task so.So which is it? Do you keep swinging with huge flaws you've just learned to manage while knowing doing so will prevent real progress? Or do you embark on a search for someone who can make a real difference and unlock at least part of the golfer you've always wanted to be?

I think this is where a lot of us find ourselves. I played with a guy a couple of weeks ago who retired recently, but used to live in San Diego. He told me how excited he was to go back to San Diego at the end of this month BECAUSE he'd booked a lesson with his longtime instructor. He said he never was able to find an instructor where we live. The fact is he is one of the lucky ones. He found a good instructor.Finding the right person is critical. I'm under the impression I'll have to move to find the right one for me haha
But I am starting to think I want to find that person.
Do they have lessons for course management? I think I need a caddie at all times haha
finished my 3rd lesson of a 3 pack I had purchased and I can definitely say that I improved and learned more in just 1 45 minute lesson than I did in 9 months by myself. 20 minutes spent on chipping have been a huge help to my scores especially
Playing lessons are great for that.Do they have lessons for course management? I think I need a caddie at all times haha
I wish I’d started seeing Jonathan way earlier when Amanda had been urging me to just pay him and go.
The focus on pivot and posture is just the start, but I’m finally back in a position I can more properly shallow and deliver the club. Which means my height and spin are coming back, which means I’m a happy boy.
Lots more to do, but lessons are more than worth it IMO.
