Default Golf Lessons

Hi All,

Can anyone recommend where to get some golf lessons, what are the prices usually etc?
I'm new at it (played it a few times) and don't want to start learning bad habits, but thought to get a few lessons to help me with basics.
Thanks,

Adi

Best advice I got was from a fellow course player who said bring a video camera with you for when you're playing your shots.

Fixed me right up!

My dad used to teach golf for 10 years. I'm sure he could help you out, or if he's not interested anymore, at least point you in the right direction

If you can ask him if he's still interested, and what kind of prices I'd be looking at, I'd be very interested. Thanks,

Adi

Find your local course and ask how much the pro charges there. Given that lessons are something you do quite often, I have found it better to go somewhere local rather than drive for ages to sit on a driving range.

Also gives you a good chance to meet the pro and find out if you want them to instruct you.
