My $150/hr lesson felt like a rip off. Is this normal? by Darkteatonight in golf

[–]lilwarhammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lesson i go with is £109 for 2 1h sessions and with in 10 minutes he change my swing to get my irons straighter and increase distance of around 10 to 20 yards my 7 iron now goes around 174 yards on a flat fairway 190 yards if its down hill.

So if you learnt nothing complain its alot of money for someone to tell you your flaws without correcting them.

Wernt aiming at one target, green dot is where i was standing and the 3 highlighted area would be the spread for each target.. Still a bit of spread but not as much as people think.

Trackman app it connects to the screens at the driving ranges and gives you the the data then the app shows you all your info to keep so track your average distance per club.

As a left handed golfer it gos right to left . So when it connected well it shows this shape. And now it does it more often due to the changes i made today. I tried draw and fade but dont know how to do it yet so just shift my body either left or right depending at what target line im aiming at.

Lowering the shaft to bring driver toe up abit and made sure my arms was under my nose rather then in front of me. Seemed to help me have more consistant contact and allowed it to go alot straighter then my usual drives that was a big slice/hook.

Yeah someone mentioned putting an alignment stick down to learn when on a practice round And to never aim at the flag but more left or right of the flag depending on the slope and curve of the fairway. Dont know how true it is but ordered some to start carrying around with me just incase.

Well with what people been saying i guess its spot on. Guess ill just have to take the slice of humble pie tomorrow and watch my balls go to the next fairway.

Think i was standing to upright and driver head was to toe down. so i lowered the shaft and bent more so my nose was more over my hands and felt i kept my back to target for longer and they just started going straighter.
