Take a Golf Lesson
Taking a lesson from a PGA pro is the best way to learn golf. Find a pro who has a good reputation working with
golfers of your skill level and who takes the time to explain things thoroughly. Prepare for your lesson by
printing your round statistics and analysis graphs from NetHandicap.com. Go over your goals with the pro and
asking how you both can work together to accomplish them.

NetHandicap.com instruction contains proven drills which will complement your lessons. After your lesson write
down key points to remember. If possible video tape your lesson. Most importantly, practice your new skills to
effectively integrate them into your game.

Purpose
- To know when to take a lesson. When you face a swing problem you need to first recognize the problem,
next identify the cause and then find the solution. If you are having difficulty identifying or solving a frustrating
problem it is time to see your local pro.
- The understand the goals of a lesson. When you take a lesson set your learning goal. It should be either to solve
a current problem, to improve a current skill, or learn a new skill. Make sure you communicate your goal to the pro and you
both agree. Follow up the lesson with your own practice sessions to insure you completely integrate your new skill into your
game.
- To get the most out of a lesson. Find a pro whom you trust and who knows how to listen. People learn in different
ways. Some learn best by seeing, some by doing, some by hearing, others by reading. Most people learn best with a combination
of these learning methods. Some people like fast paced instruction. Others prefer a slower pace. Make sure your pro's
teaching style fits your learning style. You need to have confidence in your pro and trust what your pro recommends. This is
most important when the recommendations do not produce instant results. To get the most out of a lesson you must spend time
practicing your new skills!
