If you are just starting out, I’d suggest Julie at City Park. Her lessons are fun and very beginner-friendly! She’ll get you hooked on golf in no time.
I’ve had a few different instructors, and honestly, results vary for each person. Consider what you think will fit your learning style best instead of going off others’ opinions too heavily.
That’s a good point. Are there any red flags I should look out for when choosing an instructor?
Make sure they have clear communication and seem genuinely invested in your improvement. And if they don’t play themselves, that might be a sign too.
Does anyone have insights on advanced instructors? I played competitively in college and am looking for someone who can help with my technique.

For advanced players, Sam Jennings at Elite Golf has a proven track record. He’s tough but gets results!
Can I ask how much lessons typically cost? I’m trying to figure out my budget for this.

Prices can vary widely, usually between $50-$150 per hour, depending on the instructor’s experience and location. A few package deals can help save some money too!
Thanks for the heads-up! I guess I’ll have to shop around and see what fits. Any advice on trial lessons?

Definitely take advantage of trial lessons! They can help you gauge whether an instructor’s style suits you before you commit.
Golf is like life: sometimes you have to make a swing and hope for the best! Just remember, it’s all about having fun while you learn.

I’m glad you’re looking for a good golf instructor! I’ve had success with video analysis. It really helps identify swing flaws and gives you visual feedback to work with.
Sounds great! I’ve heard on-course lessons can be super beneficial too. You get real-time feedback and learn how to manage your game in actual conditions.
I’ve tried both video and on-course lessons, and while each has its merits, I find technology integration, like launch monitors, gives you essential data about your shots.
Interesting point! Do you think technology can sometimes overcomplicate things for beginners?
That’s a good question, ojoseph! I think it’s all about balance. Beginners can benefit from simple drills combined with technology, but too much data can be overwhelming.

I personally love the blend of humor and instruction some instructors use. It keeps the lessons lively! Anyone else experienced this?
I agree, matthew77! The right instructor can make all the difference. I’ve had instructors who just made me laugh while teaching complex techniques. It made the learning process enjoyable.
Exactly! Also, I feel that supportive feedback can motivate you to improve rather than just focusing on flaws.
Does anyone know any instructors who specifically focus on mental aspects of the game? I think that’s just as crucial as swing mechanics!
