If you pay £80 for a putting lesson, you're more stupid than I thought.

Glasgow Rangers fan actually. But I actually want to win matches on FIFA so therefore chelski it is.
Maybe that makes it worse
In my defense I thought a putting specialist be able to offer me a lot more than an average pro x

Depends on how good or bad you are.
Compare it to a driving lesson (cars)
Would you pay £80 an hour to a specialist to be taught which pedal is which?
If you think "average pros" aren't very good at teaching putting, I think you'd be mistaken.
Although, you get the good the bad and the ugly in all walks of life, some are better than others.

£80 for a putting lesson = more money than sense. I don't really see what they will tell you or get you doing differently that a half decent club pro or teaching pro wouldn't for a fraction of the cost. Once you have the fundamentals set then surely its a question of back and through making sure the putter is square at impact and the wrists don't break down (ok factor in lower body staying still and no head movement too)

If I may add my thoughts on this one.....
There are different levels of specialist teachers/coaches in every area of life.
The better you are at something, the higher up the tree you might need to go to get the lesson you need. If you putt at close to tour standard, it may be worth paying *anything* to have the help of a proven expert from the top of the pile.
Otherwise, my opinion is that 2 or 3 lessons from a dedicated and experienced professional are better than 1 with someone extraordinary FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON.
I got a kid into a national team (not golf) on 2 or 3 sessions a week one-to-one coaching. Once on the team, they questioned my/his tutelage. So, he went once a week half way across the country for help elsewhere. He didn't make the grade the next time around and eventually dropped out.
I fully admitted to not being in the top 1% of coaches, but considered myself to be adequate by far for his needs.
