First golf lesson this Friday

He's really good. He's not overly technical like some other guys. He'll work with what you have and fix your swing from the ground up.

What should I expect with Chris or just in general my first lesson.

He’s going to figure out your current swing. Then he’ll point you in the right direction.
You’re going to have to practice and play to get better, but commit to the change.

I shoot 100-105 on average

You’ll get to be a better golfer with lessons. Sometimes it’s quickly. Sometimes it takes a bit longer and some effort on your part. But the game will be even more fun and rewarding.

I got lessons with him last year and he is great. Down to earth guy that won’t over complicate things and get you hitting it solid

I just finished my second lesson this morning (not with the same guy as you though). I seem to be in about the same scoring range as you. First lesson was pitch/chip/put. Today was full swing for an hour. He didn't totally change my swing. Just watched me swing, fixed my grip some and gave me pointers on how to fix the things I was doing wrong. By the end of the hour I was striking it 20 times better, just not consistently. I was doing some pretty small things wrong, and it wasn't complicated to fix, however it does feel incredibly uncomfortable. Will take some practice to feel normal swinging the correct way.

My mindset going in was to just shut my mouth and try to soak up as much information as I could. It seems to be working, but I'm going to wait till I finish the 4 lessons to take my game out to try a full 18 holes.

I find this odd. From Jack Nicklaus book a high handicapper needs to work hardest on the second shot or shot into the green. Hitting the green will give you the largest reduction of strokes per round. I would say that pitching and chipping is a good second though

---

Well it's one hour/lesson on those three things together. Then 2 full lessons on full swing. Only club I used today was a 7 iron. So two full lessons on that kind of goes with what you are suggesting.

In lesson packages 1 should always be shortgame.

You're the customer, tell him what you want to do

Will I get to request what I want to work on or will he do what he feels is right?

---

If you are anything like me (and our scores indicate you are) then probably every part of your game could use help.

He’s 85 for single lesson. Put has better prices if you buy multiple lessons

My short game is not great but it’s not the weakest part of my game. My inconsistent ball striking is killin me. Fats, thins, and the occasional hitting it off the toe

Exact same. However, I learned a whole lot in the short game portion which I think will help me out big time. I actually can't wait to get out and play again.
