[pokerjoke]

hi every1,my name is Tony i am new to the forum and looking 4ward to some inspirational chat.i have been playing golf for just over a year in my home town of taunton.i am currently 12.1 handicap.I used 2 hack around in the hundreds,but after reading many books,watching endless dvds and many hours of practice i have cut my handicap very quickly and am confident of being single figures soon.I dont believe in lessons as practice makes perfect not £40 an hour lessons.after having a look around the forum i believe i can also make new friends.no im not a loner,lol,i have a lovely girlfriend and 4 children.

Welcome to the forum

greetings, I believe you're the first from Somerset (formerly of Yeovil in my pre-golfing days); get yourself on the map on the 'arrange a game' forum.

I'd love lessons at £40/hour - try £70 - £90/hour.

Welcome along. Glad its working out for you on your own but personally think lessons are a necessity but I certainly don't pay £40 per hour even with the decent pro I use.

I know there are a few guys from Devon and Cornwall so you should get a game pretty easily down that way but I'm sure you'll get loads of offers to play

How doo Tony...
Welcome aboard.
I share your philosophy about the lessons also....
Practice does make perfect.
There 70€ a lesson over here that'd buy some good dvd's and books with a little spare left over for range tokens......

Just a quick question, when you are practicing on your own after watching a dvd who tells you that you are completing the motion correctly? not knocking just it seems to me too easy to get into a bad motion habit when practicing alone out of a book or dvd. It must work for you though as your handicap drop shows. Keep it up mate and welcome

Hi Tony and welcome to the forum.
Congratulations on getting down to 12 in one year. Awesome
Do you play any other sports, cricket or tennis perhaps?
One thing interests me though. How do you know what to practice?
I was always told "Practice makes permanent"
Most pros will do half hour lessons for between £10 and £20 and maybe as you get into single figures, you might need help on the finer points of your swing.
Good luck anyway and welcome along.
