How much for lessons?

[Coopsarama]

How much do you guys think I should be paying for an hours lesson?

I'm gonna grudge it but as soon as i start seeing improvements i'm sure it'll be the best money i've spent on this bloody game!

 

[medwayjon]

£20 for 1/2 hour, £35 for an hour is what I pay

 

[HTL]

I spend £45 for an hours lesson, but usually pay for 3 at once and get the fourth free. Its money well spent mate, just make sure you get on with your pro and understand him.

 

[SS2]

£20 for half an hour but many pros will do a deal if you bulk buy, e.g. 6 for the price of 5.

 

[GB72]

I pay £15 for half an hour, £25 for an hour and £30 for 9 hole on course lesson.

 

[HTL]

Thats cheap as chips GB72! I would have so many more lessons at that price.

 

[GB72]

For some reason all of the pros near me charge very little for lessons. At my old course it was only £14.00 with a buy 3 get one free offer.

Suppose it varies alot depending on where you are in the country.

 

[andiritchie]

i pay 15 pound a lesson or 5 lessons for 60

I got 6 lessons for the cost of 5 when they were payed for up front. Gives you a better chance of organising things in a reasonable timeframe. Lesson, practice then next lesson and practice etc. Worked well for me this year. Probably going for another batch of lessons in the same manner.

as to cost, I cant remember, but it may well have worked out at £20 a time and that included video analysis.

 

[RGuk]

In my book, for an hour £25 is too little and over £35 is too much.
My pro asked for £18 for half an hour and we agreed on £80 for 6 x 1/2 hours.
I find pros a bit optimistic about what they are "worth", like all these things, most charge what the market will accept. The best thing to do is try to roll up a set for a slightly cheaper price.

Its a good idea to have a lesson but, you need to practise what you get taught.This can sometimes put you back a few steps but better in the long term

 

[forefortheday]

£25 per hour for me.

That maybe to do with them sometimes being on a range with a smashed car in the corner. It looks like something out of Mad Max they supposedly use it when the tractor breaks down!!

 

[andiritchie]

is that car supposed to be there as my local range as one on view to hit balls at

 

[forefortheday]

Not unless you've got a 45 degree hook andi

It's tucked away in the far left corner of the range,they've got a rusty 15 foot wide basket with a flag sticking out at 100 yards (it kinda looks like a sunken pirate ship) for target practice.

It does however use white balls, it's £4.50 for 110 (not bad in Liverpool) and on Saturday a guy said "nice" to his mate as I hit the 200 yard sign with my 5 iron!

(Needless to say i sent the next one scuttling along the floor )

 

[andiritchie]

i thought you might use the same range as me,as for the 45 degree hook you must of seen my swing

 

[forefortheday]

Think the closet I get to your way Andi is Sherdley park that's not bad.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

£20 for 30 minutes although he normally lags it out for 45. I tried another pro recently and it was £28 for 45 minutes

 

[level5s]

it costs about £25 for a half hour up here in Aberdeen. That is at the two main ranges though. Not sure what a club pro charges.

 

[viscount17]

Varies a lot round here, £18 - £45 for 30 mins (though the dearest is with a GM top 25 and national coach). They all do packages, which also vary 5 for 4 at one, 6 for 5 at another.

They had a good idea running this 'summer', a package of group lessons for adults aimed at beginners and 'improvers', as well as the kids summer schools. I think this has gone well as I have seen the pro's out with several small groups, a lot of them ladies. Only problem was that this run during the day so for those that work. . .

£20 / half hour - not too bad in my opinion.
