Once every couple of months?

Once a month?

Trying to see how often I should take a lesson for Max improvement.

Why Mingo?

What’s the reason for no lessons baw?

Best way to get better.

I was hitting all over the map for a month. Took a lesson and in 1 minute the pro said my takeaway was way inside but to me it felt perfect. It’s stuff like that make lessons money because feel is never real.

Think it depends on where your game is. I go every few weeks but my handicap is still mid to high teens.

I play for fun. I never practice.

When I play at least once a month I'm like a 5 handicap, good enough for me. And that's because my course management sucks, I actually hit the ball good.

Was taking lessons about every 2 months before Webb left Shreveport. Haven’t had one this year

I think it depends on how much you practice/play. No reason to go weekly/monthly if you aren't practicing.

Tyga did web typically incorporate all of his technology into lessons or does he give me just regular lessons? I think that special motion suit could open your eyes to a lot of things that you would never know naturally after 100 lessons.

I’ve had three lessons in the 30 years I’ve been playing golf.

I’ve yet to have one which is probably why I’m so inconsistent

I used to take them regularly when I was first getting serious about getting better. Now that I know my swing, I’ll usually have the golf pro here take a look at things once every few months. I had a long break last year between lessons though. My last one was 3 weeks ago. They do wonders. Doesn’t take long for him to figure things out. Just today I hit 12/14 fairways and 16/18 greens. Swing feels great.

I requested a GEARS lesson once...it was never suggested by him. I was having a particular issue with pelvis tilt/sway in the downswing and GEARS showed that I was doing almost the opposite of what I thought.

Most of my lessons with him we would use Trackman or GC Quad, the force plates, and cameras.

I’ve only ever taken lessons from the TD GB. I show up a couple times a week. It’s worth it. It’s helped my game and putter fittings tremendously. It’s not just lessons on golf swings but golf life/leisure/fashion.

I took a bunch of lessons when I was really learning the game after college, but I never take lessons since then. As long as you have a fairly quiet swing you can make range adjustments from YouTube vids on your own these days, IMO. I still can't consistiently hit a Jaws wedge. They're close to the garbage bin.

How much time do you have to practice?

If you only have one day a week, then use that for a lesson. If you have multiple days a week to practice, lesson every two weeks and practice what you learned the rest of the time until the next lesson.
