I know a lot of you talk about getting lessons

How long did it take to start seeing results and what kind of practice route did you go with?

Your teacher should be giving you things to practice to help keep you on track and hold on to the things he taught. There’s no easy way to improve after just one lesson. But a few lessons plus practice between, and you should start to feel comfortable/confident in the changes. Once you trust where it’s going, you’ll see it translate to the course.

A series of lessons is the way to go. And where it started to help me is when I got lessons using video incorporated with Trackman. The instructor could text or email me short video clips to look at and go by. Seeing what you are doing and being able to compare to what the swing is supposed to look like is what will really help.

Any good teacher will know what needs to change within the first 5 minutes of your lesson. Making changes take time depending on the extent of the changes. I’m currently going thru a pretty large change and I’ve been grinding thru it for 1 year 3 months. But making progress every day I get to work on my game. Working on small changes and grinding over it with reps - practice & play.

The problem is Baton Rouge has 3 guys who can teach and they are all at private clubs.

I am 52 and just starting to play. Have only taken two lessons but they have helped me more than I describe.
Also what has helped is the V1 golf app. Where I can video my practice at home and send it to the person that is giving me lessons.

It depends on where your skill level is to start with before the lesson, and the quality of the instructor.
If you are learning the game, it is gonna take some time.
Ive had lessons where my instructor could instantly fix the problem within 5 practice swings. But then you have to continue to practice to develop new muscle memory to eliminate the mistake.

Not to hijack the thread, but I learned this weekend that Parker Brandt moved to Florida. That sucks.

My advice is to investigate what style a certain teacher teaches and if the fits your thoughts, plan and more importantly your body type.
I took some lessons here in the Sugarland area from what was supposed to be a highly regarded teacher and he messed me up for two years.
A barrel chested guy needs a different plan than a flatbelly.

Yup . Went to a club called Apogee , it's north of Jupiter,FL.. apparently the initiation fee for members is around 1 million and a 5k a month membership fee..
Needless to say he'll make slightly more money...

Who do you recommend for someone who isn’t a flat belly and super flexible?

I enjoyed getting lessons a few years back when I did them. The problem was, I had no real time to go practice that stuff on a driving range.

Got a lesson from a dude at the National in Westlake... Went out the next day and shot an 81 at Koasati Pines. One of my best scores ever, and felt like I was hitting it dead straight.

I will either give his replacement a shot since he spoke highly of him at the last lesson my daughter had.. Or will start going back out to the island the see Burky..

How many people can truly afford that?
I make around 300K a year.
I hate my club bill being 600 per month.
What level of income do you just disconnect from costs and buy whatever you want?
Clubs are being built with very large initiation fees and monthly costs. How is it sustainable?
Do people spend money they don’t have on golf?

You ever been to Jupiter?
Those folks are probably making $300k a week/month or legit trust fund folks

They make a lot of money... Definitely more than 300k a year and need something to spend it on...

I mean if I had a 7 figure income I could justify it personally..

I'm assuming that if they get into a club like that they not exactly living paycheck to paycheck..

It’s just stupid money down there. Unbelievable what some of those folks make. I guess If you’ve got the million dollar initiation fee the 5k a month is much less noticeable than your $600

I never knew how poor I am.
I guess I’ll just stick to lower level experiences in golf.
I hear talk about “grow the game”, but for most of the courses being built I would not put the coin down to join.
I guess it’s a first world problem.
