How Much Do You Spend on Lessons With a Pro (a golf one!)

[Hobbit]

Lessons: think I've had 7 in over 45 years. Just over a year since the last one - £20.

Range:... got two tokens as part of a green fee 2 yrs ago. Can't remember before that.

In the last 12 months I have probably spent about £100 on lessons and range balls.

 

[Wedgey]

Block of 6 lessons (40 minutes each) for £90 so good value.

Around 30 quid a month for the driving range while working on a change

We have had posts about club fees, bar spend etc, now for lessons/practice. Homer's latest Pingate saga got me thinking, as he is often referencing lessons with his pro. Homer and others - how much do you spend per year on

A. Pro lessons

B. Range tokens


Unsurprising for anyone who has seen my golf, I spent zilch on either, although we do have a charge factored into our subs for the driving range and short game area - £125 from memory, although you can't opt out!

I'm celebrating my 39th wedding anniversary next week and you try and get me divorced in one easy move Paul - sure I really can't remember the answer to this question :smirk:

Pro lessons, nothing, and as for range tokens, what are they ?

Anyone that has played with me will not be surprised by the above.

 

[standrew]

Zero on lessons so far but going for Aimpoint so 150 quid

Zero on range but 400 on optishot simulator and 80 on wii for sklz golf club and leadbetter game

Blimey where you having your Aimpoint? It cost me £90 which then allows me to go back any time and do the course again as a refresher should I need it.

I'm surprised Richard, I wouldn't have believed that you would have got that swing of yours without lessons !

Eamon Darcy gave lessons back in the 50's didn't he?

I did meet Darcy at a Pro Am. Really nice chap, but it was unfortunate that I caught his swing.

It was in the 70's. Only you can remember the 50's old timer.:ears:

 

[bobmac]

Spent £60 on 2 hours of lessons last year and nothing on range tokens. If I do practice I use the grass practice area for nothing. On that I took 6 shots off my handicap

:thup:

Mr Darcy meets Mr Darcy!

:thup:

youre clearly still not charging enough Bob! (should add a £50 per shot off handicap levy at the end of the season )

 

[AmandaJR]

Probably too much but hey that's why I work on Mondays :thup:

 

[bluewolf]

Nowt on lessons and about £20 a month at the range, but only in Winter.. As soon as the ground dries up a bit it'll be the Clubs short game area that'll get a pounding...

Just guestimating i just missed the last glasgow one and read it was around that for aimpoint express and the more advanced ones after.

No more than £50 On lessons last year and about £20 on range tokens.

I don't have the appetite to hit the range at all.

 

[bluewolf]

I don't have the appetite .

Must resist... Must resist...

After 39 years Chris you should know how to eliminate the details that partners don't need to know - do you think mine knows what I pay for membership!:smirk:

 

[PNWokingham]

Didn't play today after thinking it would be stupid and am playing tomorrow, but popped in for a quick drink with a friend - and after a bit more rain, it looked glorious - hopefully it stays this way through Sunday for the stableford - still won't make me locate the practice ground!

I really don't want to add it up, I've got the bug so whilst it's still dark early I'm normally found at the range 3 or 4 nights a week with the odd lesson thrown in for good measure. As an aside to the original post, how much do yo all pay for a half hour lesson? My local pro is £17 but we didn't click, so I've been trecking to Manchester to pay a costly £33!
