Why not take lessons from a qualified professional? You stand a better chance of improving your game! An instructor can point out flaws in your swing that you may not see on your own and give you constructive exercises to correct them. If you do not take lessons, all you can do is guess at what you may be doing wrong or continue to practice bad habits.

The first step is to select your instructor, preferably a person with a proven record for improving his or her students’ game or swing. Word of mouth is a great way to judge an instructor’s ability.

The second step would be to observe the potential instructor at work, determine if your personalities would click, and if the information given to the student is in an easy to understand manner.

Thirdly, if the instructor seems to be busy, it usually means they are very qualified. So remember to take the time to schedule a future appointment for a lesson.

Find an instructor who will work with your present swing and not try to totally overhaul it.Try to avoid instructors who teach a new type of swing. The games best instructors are still using the swings of Ben Hogan and Sam Snead.Find an instructor who teaches simplistic methods and uses a video format. It will give the pupil the advantage of seeing their swing to use later for future study.
