Which do you guys prefer? A 9 hole playing lesson or :60 min range lesson??

I mean, you're likely going to get much more out of a 9 hole playing lesson. Longer, more parts of your game, realistic situations. But what's that cost?

Range - $45
Playing - $65
Both Groupon deals

9 hole lesson should be 2 hours. If it's done right, you won't be hitting just a single shot/putt at a time. I'd take that one easily.

I've never had a lesson at all.. do you tip the instructor afterwards? What's "decent human" protocol??

$65 for a 9-hole playing lesson is a crazy deal.
I charge $200 for mine

Are you losing strokes or hitting it bad?

I'm just starting out playing. I've been playing about a year, maybe once every 5 weeks or so. I've improved but not enough to where I think I should be. I have a lot of bad habits I'm sure, need help correcting them.

Depends on what you're working on...swing mechanics or on-course decision making.

Just starting out you need a range lesson. No reason to learn course management with bad habits.

I agree that the range lessons will benefit you more at this time. I also think there is a lot of value in a playing lesson. Course management is just one part of a playing lesson. The one thing that benefited me the most when I did a playing lesson was alignment when your on the course. It's easy to be aligned correctly at the range because of the reference lines\points you have available to you. I was at a point where I was striking it well, but not hitting a lot of greens. After my playing lesson, my cone of error shrunk significantly.

That's why I asked for the cost. For just $20 more, he gets more time and a more complete look at his game. Seems like a no brainer even if he just a beginner.

I doubt it's a good playing lesson at the price tbh.

In that case neither is the hour long range session.

Naw most young teachers are fresh off the teaching manual so they are good on range.
