I have been playing golf for three+ years now, but never got better than the 95-105 range, and if it is a course I am unfamiliar with, it is 110+. My initial lessons came from a community college course, and while it was good enough to get me on the course, that was about it.

So, when my company said that an instructor will be conducting classes on campus, I signed up. The lessons cost $225 and is by Kim Stevens of Silicon Valley Golf Performance Center. http://www.svgolfpc.com/ The price includes five classes, five on course management sessions (discounted green fee extra), discounts for range balls and another five discounted green fees, so I decided it was worth it. Besides, I have been thinking of buying new clubs, and eventually decided the money is better spent on lessons.

I will use this thread to journal the progress of my lessons. I told Kim that my goal is to break 90, but even if I only get to the 90-100 range consistently, I would consider it to have been worth it.

Good Luck Gamma -- your story sounds identical to mine, including the scores at "home" and "away" courses. I was not enjoying playing so inconsistently, so I started taking lessons three weeks ago. As usual, I'm getting worse before I get better -- but I can tell I WILL BE better. Hang in there and good luck!

P.S. -- my driving has gotten worse, but my irons actually improved immediately. We haven't worked with the driver at all -- when we get there I'm sure it will help.
