Lessons question

tritriagain

im thinking of getting a lesson for my driving. do pros work like this or will they insist on deconstructing my swing and the rebuilding. i am happy enough with other parts of my game and i know its prob a fundamental swing flaw exaggerated by driver but i really dont want to get worse to get better. only back playing after 20 year break . now playing off 16. reckon i could be 11 or 12.in wexford/waterford area for any reccomendations

A pro will work on whatever you ask them to work on. If you want them to help with your driving, that's what they'll focus on. Keep in mind that a change to your swing to help make you drive the ball better may (and most probably will) impact on your non-driver swing, but if you get a good pro and practice the changes being suggested, you're unlikely to get any worse.

The key thing is that you may go through a short period immediately after the lesson where the changes feel worse - stick with it and practice, practice, practice! It will bed in pretty quickly once you keep at it.

This bit is important.

I found that my game went downhill for a short while during lessons. In fact I really felt the benefit a while after the lessons.

In short, don't expect instant results is my experience

My suggestion is get back to the range immediately after a lesson to ensure that the changes are fresh in your mind and you work to bed them in.

I'd agree with all of the posts above. The key thing is seeing it long term and working with someone you trust completely - so much so that you can easily ignore what everyone may say about the changes. If your fundamentals are good, the changes may not be huge, but if it's something like the grip causing problems, then you will need to work hard to bed in the changes. I've heard people talk about the pro in Rosslare before, might be worth a look.

Was looking at pro in roslare. He seems to get ggood reviews. The way things are going at work will prob be after chrismas before i get to him. I think he offers a package where he bringscyou out on course for an hour than tailors a 3 lesson pack for you followed by an other hour on course. Might be way to go.
