Where to Get Golf Lessons? Looking for Recommendations!

Golf Techniques

I’m really keen on improving my golf game and I’ve decided it’s time to take some lessons. I’m not sure where to start though.

Here are a few things I’m considering:

  • Location: I’d like to find both local options and any online lessons if there are good ones out there.
  • Instructor Certification: How important is it to have PGA-certified instructors?
  • Lesson Format: Is it better to do in-person lessons or are online sessions just as effective?

Some questions I have:

  1. Where have you guys taken lessons that you found helpful?
  2. Any specific instructors or golf academies you would recommend?
  3. What’s the best way to evaluate a potential instructor’s teaching style?

I’d love to hear your experiences and any tips you have for finding the right golf lessons. Thanks in advance!

I always joke that golf is just a way to ruin a good walk! But seriously, it’s worth the effort in the end.

I’ve found that online platforms like Skillshare and Udemy offer great golf lessons. They have both beginner and advanced courses, but make sure to check the reviews for the instructors.

I’ve also heard that YouTube has an abundance of free golf instruction videos. Just search for specific skills like putting or swing techniques!
