Any Doctor Will Do
I get a little annoyed when people lump all golf professionals or teachers in the same lump. That is like saying any old doctor will do, or going to see a podiatrist to get your gall bladder out.
If you want to improve you should seek out the best instructor possible and affordable although it is hardly worth bringing cost into it as you get what you pay for to some degree. Do you homework as some golf professionals are better at teaching and have the equipment to do it. Video analysis is a must so if they don’t have it or use it very much then heed. Ask a few questions like “What do you think of Homer Kelly?” or “What is a flying wedge?” and they answer “I don’t watch the Simpsons” or ” It is a club toss” then graciously tell them you will get back to them and head for the hills.
I am not picking on anyone in particular, but I want the consumer to know there is a difference between instructors just like there is a difference between doctors. If you pick the wrong doctor the consequences are a little more severe than a ruined golf game but the latter for some is almost as devastating.
