Its the first one who has ever asked me which is good because it lets him know your limitations and he can tailor the lesson to suit.

Every pro has to give a lesson to a member of the public in front of an instructor as part of their final exams at the Belfry. If you dont ask about the golfers health/fitness/physical limitations, it's an automatic fail.

Well done Smiffy. Glad it worked for you and as I've said on here often enough, it's amazing to see the swing on screen and how small tweaks can seem as massive change but produce such different shots so quickly. I hope you get the swing working nicely and you have a good season in 2015

I had my game wrecked early in the year by a pro, who teaches kids at a very high level, who tried to change my swing and make me do moves that you'd never be able to do with 2 replaced hips and a left knee reconstruction and when I told him that I just couldn't do it without pain and a knee swollen double the size after 3 holes, he still insisted that I needed to make the changes to improve!
I ditched him eventually, saw my old coach and recently shot my best round ever rounds. I feel, bar the odd round, I'm now striking the ball the best I've ever done and hope for a good handicap cut next season

As per Chrisd's post....
Doesn't stop (some of) them ignoring the replies though!
A guy I know explained his issues to several 'celebrity' coaches - he's obscenely wealthy! - but they continued to try to get him into positions he simply wasn't capable of! A well qualified 'normal' Pro worked around his (neck/upper spine) issue and he re-acquired his enthusiasm for the game - no pain and better results!
@Smiffy. Good to note your enthusiasm returning too!
