First lesson completed, what an improvement!!!!

[Martylaa]

Right so i went down the range last week and hit 50 balls about 49 were hoooked, topped and sliced.
Just had my first lesson and the Pro changed my grip and adjusted my swing, feels weird but what an improvement, hardly any hooks or slices and i would say about 65% were straight, used a 7 iron and was hitting 150 yards maybe a bit more.
Gonna keep swinging either down the range or in the back garden every day.
Feel like i'm gonna like this game more than if i had not booked any lessons.

for me and most others on here its all about lessons at the start, and all the way though imo. Glad you had a good one,sounds like you made a good jump right off the bat. the grip wont feel weard for long, dont worry.

I wish I had lessons when I started. My first lessons were this year and at 28 years old, change hasn't come easily.

Good luck!!

well seeing as i'm new to the game i thought i'd get some lessons in before i developed bad habits, cause i would of

Its great to get the basics right but don't be fooled. Bad habits will still creep in and you need to keep checking the basics of grip, posture and alignment
