I often here people at the club say to me, “I’m gonna get with you about taking a lesson.” This is a great statement and a great thing to say but It’s even better if they follow through and actually take one. I usually follow this statement up with, “When would you like to get together?” I am here to help you and I want to help all golfers to get better and help make the game more fun for them. There is no shame in seeking help with your golf game. No one is going to look down on you for taking lessons. In fact, when you start beating them every week they will probably come sign up for a lesson themselves.
Let me ask you this…Would you try to put a filling in yourself if you had a cavity? No, you would want a professional to do that for you. Would you perform a self-prostate exam? No, you would have a professional do that for you I would hope! Would you try to install a pool in your backyard by yourself? Probably not! Would you try to build a house for yourself? Some may try but those who have can tell you that it is very difficult! There are many other things that we should not try to take on ourselves. We are blessed with many great professionals in many different areas to help us with these things that we have a difficult time doing on our own. I think you can all see where this is going…Your golf swing and golf game are no different.
I can think of only 1 player who plays at a professional level who claims he’s never had a lesson and that is Bubba Watson. Unless your name is Bubba Watson, you need to strongly consider coming to see a professional for a lesson. This is the best tip I can give any golfer. The road is much longer when you try to fix it on your own. Myself and my fellow PGA Professionals are trained to diagnose the issue that’s causing you problems and prescribe a fix to help you move in the right direction. So instead of saying, “Pro, I need to get with you about a lesson,” Lets change it to “Pro, I am ready to schedule a lesson.” Make that commitment for your game and come schedule a golf lesson with me today! I am here to help you get better and make the game more fun. Seek out your neighborhood PGA Professional today and unleash your game to the game that you have always dreamed of!
