Ok lads and lass.
As you may know i had my first lesson the other day and was told to change my grip by the pro, from right hand on top (caggie handed) to left hand on top like normal right handers.
But, it just feels too weird, i cant get the hang of it and it is actually hard work to play golf.
I come away from the range frustrated the other day not wanting to return, this is not normally the case.
I know the pro knows best but it seems to have taken the fun out of golf, and all i want to do is go out and play, and improve on what i have already taught my self.
I don't think i am that bad considering i have only been playing real golf since oct 2007. I play to the 16-18 mark consistently.
Thing is, just before my lesson, i had been striking the ball really well too and was ready to test the water at a few private clubs. Now it seems i will have to wait for another six months before i may be able to even pick up a full bag and start going round again.
Do i trust the pro and stick at, being miserable and missing out on the rounds or
Do i just tell him i want to play with my right hand at the top and ask him if he can work around that.
I realize i will never be good enough to play at a decent level and will probably struggle to get to single figures. But that doesn't bother me, i just wanna play!
