Your golf pro

Having settled that one, let's move on. Your OP used the terms "extortionate", and "waste of money", and "silly money", and "good players who never made it." Now you're saying "I'm not saying he's not OK" and "he's not right for me." Firstly, in your OP you were saying that he wasn't OK, so again you need to make your mind up as to whether he is OK or not. Secondly, "not being right for you" opens up a completely different argument which has nothing to do with money. Some Pros are very good at teaching low single figure amateurs, but find it difficult to teach higher handicappers because they can't take as much on board. Other Pros are very good at teaching high handicappers how to live with their idiosyncracies, with just a few tweaks here and there. Trial and error will identify which Pro is more suited to teaching you, and money does not come into it.

You've also got the issue that a great teacher might not be the right teacher for you. Just because you don't progress under a particular coach/teacher doesn't automatically mean that teacher is rubbish. Not saying that this is the case but if you can't get to grips with what the Pro is telling you then it could be your inability to understand and not the Pro's inability to teach.

Me thinks the truth would be less painful. If you had a lesson with this guy (going against the I'm totally self taught post) then its a question of whether you or he had the problem. It might be that you didn't like the idea of being taught and so didn't work at the drills or buy into his changes or he may have been at fault and didn't teach in a way suitable to your needs. Either way its a world away from the original post
