Morning all,

I apologize if this has been asked, but I did a search and didn't find what I was looking for. If I'm just blind I would be very grateful of a point in the right direction.

Essentially, I have never taken lessons, the only formal instruction I have really had was during High School years ago.

I guess if I'm shelling out the money for lessons, I would like to know what I should expect.

The gentleman I spoke with over the phone sounded very personable, and explained that he liked to focus on form stating that without proper form you will never achieve a good swing.

Now that is fine, I feel my form and swing are pretty good, but I am not closed minded and more than willing to devote some time to improving it should improvement be needed. I also explained to him that one of my goals in these lessons is to achieve better ball control with my irons. I would like to learn new ways to manipulate my shots, take a better divot, more control with spin etc. (Not that this would be my only goal - as I plan to take lessons as a normal routine throughout the summer months from this point forward and really just want to find a good match coach for me)

My hesitation is that I have never had lessons and obviously there is a huge variety of professionals from which to choose. I just have no reference of determining the quality of the coach I selected or what I should expect at all.

So I suppose the jist of all this is, what should I be looking for with my new coach during our first session together? As it is as much of a trial / interview on my part as it is a job/ future customer on his part.
