Brushing up on your Golf Game
No matter whether you are new to the game of golf or if you are a seasoned golfer, there will come a time when you will need a lesson. Whether it is to learn the game from the beginning or to find out how to correct a particular problem you are having with your game, it is important for you to find the right type of golf lessons.
As a first step you need to decide how much you want to pay for these lessons. Another factor you will want to consider is how you want to be instructed. Would you like to learn in a group setting or one-on-one with an instructor? Maybe you would rather watch an instructional DVD or use a book that you can refer to at any time? No matter which one you choose there will be pros and cons to each of them.
Private one-on-one instruction by a golf teaching pro is probably the best method of instruction, but is also the most expensive. A single lesson can set you back some $40-50, and you will likely have to take subsequent lessons as the coach can only focus on one or two flaws at a time. An alternative would be group lessons, where a number of golfers ‘share’ one teaching pro. If you are considering a golf school for group instruction ask about the number of students per instructor. As in any school the fewer the number of students per teacher, the more closely the teacher can work with the individual golfers.
If you are a beginner senior golfer you will be best served by getting an instructional book that covers all aspects of golf. A good example would be the Senior Golfers Guide. This is a 200+ page ebook that is available for instant download at less than $30, and targeted especially at senior golfers. There is also a 60 day money back guarantee, click the above link for details on the book.
For most of us a good instructional DVD would be a good choice. I particularly like the Seniors DVD by Purepoint Golf. This DVD is again designed especially for senior golfers aged 55 and above. The instructor, Bobby Eldrige, has been coaching thousands of golfers – including seniors – and is well regarded in the industry. His program costs $47. While this is not exactly cheap he also offers a full money-back guarantee, so your purchase is risk free. I have the DVD, and I honestly think it is well worth the money.
It is difficult to get good instructional products for senior golfers despite the fact that there are so many of us out there. The products mentioned above are worth your time, so you should take a look at them now.
