Answer 1

****************************************...

VIDEO TAPE YOUR LESSON!!!!

The best way to learn it to see yourself swing, review the lesson and make improvements slowly.

Lessons go way too fast and give you way too much information.

Answer 2

The biggest thing that I've learned about golf is that you have to be patient. There's about a 99% chance that it won't come easy at the beginning so I would just try to enjoy your time playing. The more calm you are, the easier it will be and you'll have a lot more fun for you. There's a lot worse places to be than playing golf, no matter how you do. It's been said that fishing, s*x and golf are the things you don't have to be good at to enjoy.  Stay focused and have fun.

Answer 3

Listen to the instructor.  It's a lot easier to learn when you're not trying to apply instruction from people online...:)

Just relax and work with the pro, they'll help you.

Answer 4

Relax, hang loose. Tension causes a lot of problems.

Answer 5

You're going to have a great time - and after the lesson, practice, get those muscles working like they should.  Welcome to the club!

Answer 6

Take it easy, since this is the first class there will be a lot of thing to explore. To master the games, not only attending the class but also come with the practice

Answer 7

Finish high and let it fly.

Answer 8

Keep your eye on the ball! Stretch up and don't try & hit too hard.

Answer 9

Keep your head still.  Pick a spot on the back of the ball focus on to assists in giving you crisp ball first contact.  Swing at 75% percent  You need to hit the ball clean not hard.  The most important part to remember is its a game and is meant to be fun  so enjoy it.

Answer 10

Calm down.  You're getting a lesson tomorrow so wait until tomorrow.  Let the pro provide you with the tips.  I love to play.   I had 2 eagles today and never had a lesson, but I always recommend beginners taking lessons.  I'm a trial and error type person so I'll figure it out eventually.

Answer 11

Yes golf is simple to understand and very difficult to repeat! Make sure he doesn't mess with your grip unless your a true beginner. Stay in balance flex your knees and understand that you hit the ball on the downswing not your backswing.
