Game improvement. Every golfer wants it but few actually pursue it. Oh, we all talk about it. But only a few of us actually dedicate the time and effort it takes to move up to another level of skill.
Most guys just try to figure out the game for themselves. They hit buckets of balls never realizing they are actually grooving imperfections into their swings. Good intentions. Bad results.
Most women learn the game from their husbands or significant others. Bad Idea. He's likely to groove his imperfections right into your swing.
Maybe you've taken lessons. But what was your motivation? We've all signed up for a lesson with our local pro when the old golf game's gone south. But those desperate attempts to get back on track are more mid-course corrections than conscious steps toward a better game. As soon as the “problem” is worked out, we stopped working with the pro and got back on the course to groove new bad habits.
Here's the problem. You've got to stop thinking about a lesson as medicine. It's not a trip to the golf hospital. It doesn't involve something horrible shoved down your throat.
Golf instruction is fun. Isn't that why you took up the game? FOR RECREATION? ENJOYMENT?
Consider this: What better way to spend a vacation than hitting golf balls and getting tips from someone who really knows what he's doing? Laughing and learning in an environment that's totally about golf? Sign me up!
