Question

should i get golf lessons or should i just do it and learn myself.

Answer 1

Not necessary but wise

Answer 2

I don't know if you are just playing for fun or what, if you playing very serious than I suggest you to have a coach. Look, even Tiger Woods have a coach.

Answer 3

Golf is a game of sense and feel with minimal tolerance for room for errors. If you are a real beginner I suggest you take golf lessons from a pro, just to get to know more about the intricacies or idiosyncrasies of the game of golf. Of course, if you're a born or natural sportstman you'll be able to pick up the game much faster.

Answer 4

I played for 18 months with no lessons and a huge slice with my driver.  I read lots of books and magazines but couldn't get the slice out.  I was going to buy an R7 Draw but the pro at the shop convinced me to buy the R425 and spent a minute showing me how to rotate my wrists through the shot and now I can drive them straight.  If I would have had that instruction 18 months ago there would be a lot less balls in the woods at my club.  So yes, I would take lessons.

Answer 5

Would you rather have a correct swing sooner or later?  A proper swing, as well as all the fundamentals that go into one, will give you straighter shots and therefore a much more pleasant round of golf.  It all depends on how much time you want to save trying to figure out all the correct stuff in a golf swing.  Even after that, you have many different situations and shots you'll need to perform and an instructor will get you on the right path.

Answer 6

Depends on what level of golf you aspire to. Most don't get lessons, and most that do usually dismiss the lessons if they don't work the first time.

Answer 7

You should get the lessons because you'll focus on what you need to know and the teacher will tell you the way to stad and hold the golf club. After a few lessons, you can do it on your own. Just be sure you know how to swing nicely.

Answer 8

If you are an extremely talented person...a natural athlete...do it yourself.  Otherwise, take lessons from a respected pro.
