Taking A Golf Lesson

A golf lesson will not improve your game. An effective golf lesson:

  • Will enable you to experience the improvement you are seeking in one session.
  • Will enable you to understand the change you have made resulting in that improvement.
  • Cannot create a new habit of that change. That takes putting in the “reps”. Upon the conclusion of the lesson, your old swing will still be that which is normal. Disappointment results when a golfer walks from the lesson tee to the first tee expecting the improvement without putting in the “reps”.
  • Should only be expected to produce the improvement with a degree of consistency after at least 6 practice sessions devoted to that lesson.

Bottom Line: When a lesson has resulted in you producing the improvement you are seeking commit the lesson to paper and have the instructor confirm that you have adequately captured the change to be learned. Expect that only after a number of conscientious practice sessions will you begin to see the result of the lesson with some degree of consistency.
