First lesson

[Dannyj1984]

Had my first lesson today with the head pro at my local course and it was very enlightening. Basically told me my grip and swing are wrong (in a nice way) showed me how I need to grip the club and gave me tips on setting up properly and then pointed out I wasn't turning my hips into the shot early enough. I then set up and just practiced swinging through and turning my hips properly without a backswing as before I was thrusting my hips more forward than round. At the end of a 1 hour lesson he left me with a bucket of balls to practice what he had shown me and it was pretty amazing what a difference it made to accuracy! I could hit the ball pretty well before hand but it was pot luck if it went straight left or right.

I would definitely recommend a lesson for anyone just starting out.

It's amazing how a Pro can see stuff you can't feel /see for yourself isn't it?! I am a newbie too and after few lessons the Pro put me on video analysis and overlayed Tiger Wood's swing over mine. That was enlightening
Not that knowing what to do better means I can actually achieve it!
