I started golfing last summer and decided the first thing I should do was take some lessons to help learn the basics. I bought 5 lessons last year and 5 again this year. I am already shooting low 90s to mid 80s!!! Played pinehurst last week and shot a 96. Lessons are great for anyone willing to get better. Also if your interested in taking lessons ask around for who people have used and if they like the pro, I got very lucky to have a great pro help me and it only cost $25 for an hour lesson if I purchase 5 or more lessons!
