Every golfer ever born has experienced golf swing problems. From Tiger Woods and Ernie Els to the average 24 handicapper scrambling around the local golf course – they have all tinkered (sometimes wrestled) with their golf swings to a greater or lesser extent.

When the average golfer decides that his or her golf swing is in need of adjustment – or a major overhaul – they are usually in the beginning phase of committing a major blunder (in my humble opinion anyway). They set off to emulate the swing of any number of well known PGA players in the hope that if they can copy that particular swing then they will start playing golf like said pro.

Money Cannot Make You A Good Golfer, Only Regular Practice Can

If expensive equipment and lots of style were the only requirement of being good at golf, then perhaps world’s most famous celebrities and richest individuals would have been the best golf players. Remember, a good golf player ends up looking stylish and classy without any effort.

When addressing proper golf swing basics for the new golfer, the idea is to keep things simple and not try to emulate Tiger Woods or any of the pros. Their golf swings are so far advanced to ours that it would only cause more frustration than this great game of golf already has. What I would like to propose to the new golfer is to get very simple in their golf swing basics, and once that is in place build from that foundation.

How to Make Your First Golf Lesson Worthwhile – For the Intermediate Golfer

You have been playing golf for some time, perhaps even for years. You have achieved a fairly consistent swing. Your handicap is probably between 12 and 20 but you are not able to get it any lower. You seem to have reached a plateau. Finally, you decide to take a lesson from your local Professional. What should you expect? Is there anything you could or should do before the lesson?

Here is what you must ponder? You have come a long way. You learned the basics of the game, the grip, stance, posture, alignment, backswing and downswing. You recognize that golf is not an easy game. You understand that the golf swing has “many moving parts.” So in a 45 to 60 minute lesson you cannot expect the pro to diagnose and correct all of those “moving parts.”
