Yes, I definitely became more consistent and that made playing so much more fun!
Is there a reason why some people avoid lessons despite the benefits?
I think cost and time commitment are big factors. Plus, some people just prefer to learn independently.
You’re spot on. Also, feeling self-conscious can be a barrier for many when starting with an instructor.
Anyone here shifted from self-taught to lessons? How big was the learning curve?
I did! The initial transition was tough because I had to unlearn some bad habits, but it was smooth sailing after that.
This is so true. Unlearning can be harder than learning something new!
I think the key takeaway here is to find what works best for you. There’s no one-size-fits-all in golf or any other learning process.
Agreed! Self-awareness is crucial. Understanding your strengths and weaknesses can guide you in choosing the right path.
This has been a great discussion. Thanks for all the insights, everyone! Planning to start with a couple of lessons and see how it goes.
