Golf Instructors

When choosing a golf instructor, first determine your own skill level. Once you know where you are, you can figure out where you want to go. Choosing the right instructor for your skill level is especially important. If you are a beginner, for instance, you may not want to hire Tiger Woods’ golf coach.

Golf Coaches for pros are much different than coaches for beginners. They have developed a specialized teaching approach that applies to professional golfers. Coaches for golf pros will pinpoint the fine details of a golfer’s swing. They won’t be dealing with basics and are rarely going to be making any major changes to a golfer’s swing. After all, any professional golfer is already a great player. What they are looking for are those subtle improvements that add up over time. Plus, if a coach is being hired by professionals, you can bet they will cost a lot of money!

A beginning golfer has many different needs. This usually means they need a much different coach. They need someone to help them with the fundamentals – how to grip the club, where to place the ball etc… A coach that focuses on new players is going to have the experience to help with these issues. In fact, they may even have more experience teaching beginners than the pro’s coaches!
