What is the better place to get a golf lesson?

Question

I bought my clubs at Golfsmith. I see they give lessons there. They also give lessons at my local golf course. Which is usually a better place to get lessons, at the golf course or in a golf store like Golf Smith?

Answer 1

The more money it costs, the better the lessons. Try to get someone teaching you who has the most experience possible. I got lessons from someone really good, and within an hour i could hit really good shots after almost no experience. Also try to get private lessons, not public lessons. In private you learn more, and you get more time. You can always turn to the internet too. I'm sure youtube has some pretty good golf tutorials.

Answer 2

It depends on how good the pro is at each locations. If the course is just a cheap public course, the pro probably isn't the best. If it is a country club or reputable public course those would be better places to get lessons. By taking them at a course you have the oportunity to use the driving range or putting green. At at golf store you can only hit into a net or a simulator.

Answer 3

Which pro is known for giving the better lessons? Is it the pro at Golfsmith or the pro at the local course?. Is the person at Golfsmith a golf professional or a store clerk?
