Importance Of Golf Lessons London

2016/7/19 16:17:30

Whether you're just starting to play golf or have been playing for decades, one of the best investments you can make (aside from a set of clubs of course) is to buy a few lessons.
The importance of having your technique looked at by someone who know what they're doing simply cannot be overstated - the advice a golf professional can give you will literally change your game overnight.
You wouldn't consider driving a car or playing the piano without having a few lessons first, and yet achieving a good golf swing is far harder to achieve than passing your driving test or knocking out Lady Gaga's latest hit. Yet amazingly most people don't even consider taking lessons when they first take up golf - after all, you just hit the ball until it goes in the hole, right?
I was as guilty of this line of thought as anyone. I'd been playing golf (badly) for about five years before I had my first lesson, yet as soon as I'd struck my first ball in front of my teacher he gave me a tip that instantly improved my game (I'd been moving my head out of line with the ball on my backswing - something I would never have noticed in a million years).
Of course, that wasn't the only flaw in my game (I wouldn't be eking out a living as a writer if it was) and when you have your first lesson you'll be amazed at the litany of faults your professional will give you. The best coaches and trainers will focus themselves on fixing one particular error in your game and then working on it until the error is eliminated, before they move on to your next flaw. Just as you don't expect to be an expert driver after one lesson, it's only by having a series of lessons that your game will really start to flourish.
A good golf swing is like a great piece of architecture - it needs to be built on solid foundations. Once those foundations are in place, your coach will teach you all the tips and tricks that their years of training have given them, and you'll soon discover the only slices you'll be making are to your handicap.
If you're looking for Golf Lessons in London, your first port of call should be 'The Golf College'. Based just off the M25 near Hayward's Heath, they have a roster of outstanding coaches headed up by master professional Denis Pugh - a man who has coached current PGA tour professionals Colin Montgomerie, Ross Fisher and Francesco and Eduardo Molinari. The college has an outstanding record of guiding young players on to careers in the professional game, and even if your chances of a professional career are behind you, they'll be able to advance your game to a level where you can at least make your boss panic before you let him beat you.
While it's true golf lessons aren't especially cheap (prices at The Golf College start from ?5) they do represent amazing value for money - you'll gain expert advice from top professionals that will allow you to advance your game far beyond the levels you ever thought possible.
