This One Hour Golf Trick Improved My Golf Game by 5 Strokes Immediately

Learning how to play golf can be a life-long process.

Becoming good at golf takes an entirely different approach then just going out a few times a month or year and playing 18 holes with your buddies.

It's no wonder that even the pros on tour use coaches to master various parts of their games from the fundamentals of the swing to mental preparation.

This article discusses taking golf lessons and getting the most out of each lesson for maximum effect.

It's never easy asking for help, but in golf, it is almost a necessity. Unfortunately, we often ask our buddies and partners, when in reality we should take a lesson or two.

Now a lesson can be anything from mirroring a video to actually going to a pro who is trained at seeing the little things that are hard to see within our swings.

We think that a Pro would critique harshly, but they are honest, positive and very helpful. Not to mention well worth the money if you find the right one.

A friend of mine went from shooting in the hundreds and almost quit golf to easily breaking 100 and almost 90 just from a couple of solid golf lessons.

Lessons at the local course aren't as expensive as you might think and they are worth it because your game will improve rapidly and cause you less frustration, making the game much more enjoyable for you.

Listen you're going to spend money on golf. It isn't a cheap game to say the least, so why not do yourself a favor and spend the money to get good instead of wasting money on poor outings.

Trust me when I say golf is much more fun when you are good at it.

Of utmost importance, is being honest about your game. The Pro will ask you what you want to start with; driving, chipping, putting or whatever you feel you need help with.

Listen carefully and follow the instructions. You may have doubts if the Pro changes your stance, your grip or your swing; the Pro knows best.

Sometimes it is the areas that we are reluctant to change that are causing the biggest problems.

Don't hesitate to ask questions. Don't worry about if the question or concern in stupid-they've heard it all before and will not make you feel like an idiot for asking. If you don't "get it", tell him/her that you're not getting it. You should never walk away from a lesson with unanswered questions.

You can concentrate on one thing during a lesson, or several. You might start with a lesson in driving; get the right grip, the right stance, the right swing, the right follow-through in one lesson, and then practice it. Next time, you might work on your short game, or putting.

Choosing a good coach will depend also on your current abilities within the game of golf. If you typically shoot in the 80's and want to break 80 consistently, be sure your teacher does the same (I've seen club pros play horribly consistently).

It's important to understand where they came from so you are spending your time and money intelligently.

Bottom line: You've invested in the equipment and energy to play the game of golf, doesn't it make sense to learn how to use them to their advantage and improve your abilities?
