How To Strengthen The Weak Areas Of Your Golf Game


by Peter Faulkner

There are basically two main areas on which you may need to spend some extra time, or that you might enroll in a golf instruction course to focus on. Those are the Swing and the Short Game.

The Swing: Getting off to the right start in your game, isn't just a matter of stepping up to the tee and whacking the ball. There are a lot of things to learn between taking a wood out of your bag, and connecting with the ball.

While the instructor may start you off one way, as you become familiar with the clubs and what works best for you, the approach to the tee will become a personal one. Consistency is often the key to making the same quality drive, every time.

That consistency can include everything from pre-shot preparation, such as laying down a club to look at the lie of the ground, or going directly to the tee, placing a ball, and then adjusting your stance. Your body position both before the upswing and after the downswing, will also be crucial elements in getting the most out of the long drive first shots.

When you move off the tee, you've still got long shots to go. This is where the professional instructors will introduce irons, and which ones are most appropriate, according to the distance to the flag, and the lie of the ball.

The instructor's presence is for the purpose of teaching and feedback. But depending on the course or school you have enrolled in, it may be possible to also get a visual record of your play and problems, through tapes that are made during the lessons.

The Short Game: This area of play includes putting, chip, and bunker shots. These require specialized approaches, according to where your ball is in relation to the fairway or green, and what shot you're on for the hole. These are primarily "control" shots, which have to be learned through experience and practice.

For chip shots, the technique taught may include such things as a close stance, placing your hands further down the club shaft, and limiting your back swing. Shots out of the bunker require more work, since your ball could be in shallow, deep, wet or dry sand, on a downhill lay or on an upward slope.

Your pro will introduce you to the advantages of the sand wedge, and how the degree of loft for each, can impact how quickly you get out of the trap.

Golf Lessons From a Zen Master


by Albert Medinas

When watching golf on television, one cannot help but wonder how men and women can make millions of dollars playing a game that looks so simple. Honestly, who can't hit a ball into a hole with 4 or 5 tries? Ahh, but golf is another one of those "finer arts", and it can take years and years of practice before you break par - let alone try for those birdie thingies! For people looking to get into the sport, golf lessons are probably the best way to go - unless you were raised on the greens like dear Tiger.

So, is there any real difference between instructors, or will anyone do?

Hey look, there are $7 an hour fry cooks at McDonald's and $100,000 per year chefs - both can teach you how to cook, but the results you'll experience will be far different. While a higher price does not always mean higher quality, it is a good rule of thumb to go by when looking for the "Zen Master" instructor for your golf lessons.

How do I choose an instructor?

As with almost any decision we make, the budget is always a factor. How much money can you afford? Are these golf lessons to help you meet clients, or are you just looking to learn how to play the game? If you really don't like golf but know it would be a great business asset, then you will want a better instructor. After all, the golf lessons then become a business investment, correct? You will generally find the more experienced and sought-after instructors giving golf lessons at the higher end clubs and resorts. A Las Vegas golf lesson at the Walter's Golf Academy might be given by Chuck Matlack, Mike Davis, or Jimmie Pollard - all of whom are seasoned pro's with great portfolios - and with great rates to match!

Do I have to have private golf lessons, or are there other options?

Now that is a very good question. You can either receive golf lessons from an instructor in a one-on-one setting, or attend a "Golf School" where lessons are given in groups. Clearly, you will get more personalized golf lessons with a personal instructor, but the process can take months, and progress may be slow. But if you want to save some money and need a crash course, then golf lessons from one of the many available schools is the route to take.

What else should I know?

You should definitely know your own commitment level. Look - golf lessons are not cheap. Whatever you learn - be it from Jimmie Pollard during a Las Vegas golf lesson or at Greg's Golf Shack - you will need to reinforce what you learn with practice. Otherwise, you are just wasting your money. So be sure that you really want to play the game, be it for business or pleasure, before deciding to take golf lessons.

As with anything else, you'll want your golf instructor or school to be the best investment of both time and money possible. Therefore, don't be afraid to ask for references, or even to interview the potential instructors before making a decision. After factoring in budget, instruction style, and your own commitment level, select the best golf lessons option for you and your needs. You'll be glad you did.
