Taking golf lessons....again

[dudley laywicker]

my best friend is a golfpro in collinsville,va and a lot of his winter days, he gives golf lessons.

The purpose of the lessons is to improve my swing and contact. An obvious outcome is going to be better distance and accuracy. Trying to improve your short game in a simulator just doesn't work, at least not for me. I seldom have chip shots around the green that are perfectly flat and on nice short grass with a perfect lie.

There just aren't many public courses that have a decent short game practice area and you really need a green to chip & pitch to in order to effectively practice it. The course I play during the summer in upstate NY has a great one and hardly anyone else uses it. They have a range that hardly anyone ever uses too. It's great but rare.. a lot of practice greens don't allow chipping. You're right about improving contact .. it should help with both distance and accuracy.

Do you possess that Arnie Palmer wow factor when you’re showering in the locker room?
