So last Wed I had my first real lesson. Some of you may remember my post a few weeks back about signing up for one of Hank Haney's one day schools or a Dave Pelz workshop. Well, I took everyone's advice and contacted a local country club that I do photography for, The Golf Club at Castle Hills. They hooked me up with the Tour Pro there and I took a one hour lesson.
Wow.
You know the old saying, you get what you pay for? This guy was worth it. We went over some basic putting, which I needed and he helped out with my chipping. His theory is that the short game and putting are the most important, which I've always believed. The next lesson will look at short irons and the midrange game. I had a blast and am going out this weekend to try out some of his lessons.
Also, I gotta admit this was pretty cool. There were maybe two dozen people out on the putting greens around the schoolhouse. Then here I come with the guy in charge in tow and he's giving me some 1:1's on pitching and putting. Even if you aren't, every now and then it's cool to feel like your a fat cat, eh?
I'll post some scores after my round tomorrow and if the lessons really sank in or not.
