One of the best ways to get better at your golfing skills, is to hire the training of a pro-golf trainer. If you’re anything like me, you’re a “do it on my own” king of person. But this is in many cases the wrong approach. A pro golfer can give you specific instruction and exercises that will help you improve a lot faster that you will on your own. It will also be a lot less painful.
So getting a golf pro to rain and instruct you on your golf swing is a great idea. Now, how do you go about finding just the right golf instructor?
There are a number of ways to do that. You can go to golf shops and look at ads or ask the shop keeper and other people who come to the shop. Another way is to go the country club or golf course and ask around. Don’t just go for the first instructor you meet, but examine a few of them. Try to watch them as they give lessons to other students, and than ask yourself – is this an instructor I would like to work with?
When hiring a golf instructor, it’s important you take a few lessons with them and ask yourself – do I have good communication with this gold pro? If you feel there remains a communication gap between two of you, there is no harm in parting ways and looking for a new gold instructor. Even your current pro may be able to make a recommendation if you just explain to him/her your difficulties in a polite and respectful manner.
When you do find a good instructor you want to work with, don’t make the mistake of thinking that you can have the perfect swing in just a few sessions. It takes a lot more than that to improve your game significantly. Every student has his/her own pace, and golf techniques take time to learn, and even more time to perfect. Always listen to your gold trainer, and don’t waste your and his time by neglecting to implement his instructions. Your instructor will also recommend additional practice time, and you will be wise to listed to this advice and take advantage of this.
If your gold pro does a good job, there is no harm in giving them a nice tip or bonus. It’s worthwhile to keep in mind that golf pro’s take much pride in their work and profession. They also have a lot of passion to the game and if you show similar passion and respect their skill, you will get a lot in return.

You definitely should get a lesson but some simple fixes on your slice. Make sure when you grip the club both V's point at your right shoulder. Look up the golf grip on line and you can see how this is done. Second lightly grip the club and relax your arms when you swing relaxed muscles move faster. Third work on your temp should be a fluid motion swinging at about 80%. Fourth. concentrate on taking the club back long and wide this helps get your swing on plane. Fifth follow through make your finish look like the pga tour professionals. sixth keep your eye on the ball and have good posture. Maintain a good spine angle and turn around your spine. Remember you might not hit the ball well at first but if you do all these things you will eventually.

what is the loft of your driver? if they are going right your face is open at impact or you are not transferring your weight on the downswing. One lesson to learn how to square your face at impact wouldn't hurt. If you are just totally against it, subscribe to a golf magazine. They are full of tips for golfers whether you are a beginner or have a 0 handicap. I am partial to Golf Magazine. I have personally never taken a lesson and I have improved my game every year for the last 5 or 6 years. Also watch the Golf Channel.

i think lessons sucks. i tried to take some but he was messing up my swing and i couldnt hit the ball the way he wanted me too. best way to start is hit the drving range and take half swings with all your clubs. learn the point of impact with each one. as you get more comfortable start making your swing go back further. you will see in a short time that you have delevoped a good full swing and hitting the ball correctly. you get good solid impact and good ball travel. thats the best tip i can give you.

In my opinion, for the time and money, get a lesson. I have a pro that I go to 3 times a year no matter how well or poorly I am playing. That is the key. Finding someone that you are compatible with and someone who is going to take what you already know about the game and implement it properly.
If your reason for taking lessons is b/c you are embarrassed of how bad you currently are, dont worry about it. You have to start somewhere.

You want to improve….but you don't want to take any lessons? Ya know even the best guys who play on TV on Sunday's have swing coaches. Ok…… Here is my answer.
Lessons ( or advice) by committee is not going to solve your swing problems. Why? Because we can not see what you are doing. ( this is where the teaching pro comes in) In order to fix it we gotta be able to see it. Knowing what the result is does not give us the specifics of what caused that result.

yea, do you have a camcorder, take movies of your swing, how does it compare with others…copy there style, and then take another movie, see if you are close to a good swing……and then practice, practice, practice.
