Take the group lessons. Have a pen and paper with you to take notes and ask if you dont understand, Good luck and enjoy.
Not at all, I just constantly read folk on here telling others "get a lesson" all I'm saying is, it's not always the answer, it may well be for some, possibly most but not everyone.
Yeah I think group lessons at the very beginner are ideal. That's what I did when I first started at the age of 14 or whatever it was. They just tell you how to stand, how to hold the bat and so on. Then you take that and go your own way with it for a bit before having a one-on-one lesson if you so choose to a little while later.I think having lessons once you have been playing for a while is a totally different arguement to having some group lessons as a totall beginner.
Surely having some constructive instruction at the outset will result in someone having the right basics set within the mind, rather than trying to learn by yourself and probably getting the basics all wrong and more than likely lead to greater frustration and possible departure from the game.
Very few of us are those annoying natural athletes that can do anything perfectly at the first go.
What a shame, Cabby, had you just had a couple of lessons you could be playing on the PGA tour now.

Thanks to everybody for all your input...I’m all booked up for Thursday evening group sessions, so we’ll see how it goes. As long as I get taught some basics to go away and practice, I think I’ll be happy enough.
When you all first started out, did you mainly go to the range to practice, or go out on course and just go for it?

Interesting vid from Mark Crossfield last night about lessons, basically sayin don't expect the pro to have all the answers, you have to put the work in.
Agreed, does the OP state his age ?? As like anything, if you come to a sport later in life, you're unlikely to progress in the same way as someone who starts much younger.
