Wondering how I would go about tracking down someone for lessons. I have no experience so, he will have his work cut out for him. Any recommendations? And how much am I looking to spend?

People will tell you "go get lessons first so you don't develop bad habits" but I'll tell you to practice hitting the ball using the proper grip and at least get comfortable with that. Chris Burkstaller at Santa Maria is good.

CB is around $85/hr I am sure DM is $100+. I took a few lessons way back when he was the pro at sherwood forest cc about 10 yrs ago and it was more than $85. Also anyone at CCLA or UC is going to be $100+/hr. I have a buddy in Orlando that is a Class A at a club and he gets $225 a lesson. This post was edited on 12/19 at 9:27 pm
