"How to Find the Best Instructor"

 "If it’s not broken don’t fix it." Find an instructor who will work with your present swing and not try to totally overhaul it.

Try to avoid instructors who teach a new type of swing. The games best instructors are still using the swings of Ben Hogan and Sam Snead.

Find an instructor who teaches simplistic methods and uses a video format. It will give the pupil the advantage of seeing their swing to use later for future study.

The formula for improvement is play – practice – lessons – study. If it does not work in that order – change the line-up.
