How Do You Choose The Right Pro?

Today it is so hard to find a teaching pro that you can relate to, because at every golf course their is a pro with a different sense of the way golf should be taught. I have been with my golf pro for three and a half years now but I can tell you, before I started I was a bit skepticle. Here are a few easy steps to get started in the search for the right pro:

1.) Don't Rush In - This is the most crucial step don't commit to taking lessons with the first person you come across. Take a few lessons from two or three pro's in your area then decide.

2.) Watch Them Give a Lesson - A really good way to see if you can relate to a golf pro is by watching them teach. If you can understand what they are trying to get someone else to do by word of mouth, there is a very good chance that you can relate to that person.

3.) Ask Them Who They Teach - Are they just teaching beginners, intermediate players, or other pros. This is a good technique, because if you are looking for a pro to stay with and get better you might want to find a pro who has some experience teaching better players.

Once you have found your pro set goals. Then talk to your pro on a monthly basis on how to achieve those goals. This is one of the keys to playing better golf.

noah those all great suggestions you also must know what kind of lessons you want. Do you just want to focus on just swing, short game, or coursemanagement. Or do you want a combo of all three. Another thing that would be good, talk to good players in your area and see who they would recommend. They usually have a pretty good idea of what the teachers qualifications and knowledge is.

Noah good pointers but you are going about this so wrong. Go to Bear Creek Golf Course in Medford OR. Get a 30 minute lesson on their state of the art 60-yard driving range. After one short lesson qualify for your PGA Tour Card. You will be off like a prom dress
