I had 3 lessons
1) totally broke down grip, stance, ball placement
2) added wrist cock, more weight transfer
3) by this time... I was all fucked up! couldn't hit shit. She had me
stand w/ my feet togather & just swing w/ my arms. Amazing how straight
the ball goes when you put no body into it.
Soo about 1 1/2 months after lessons (season is bout over in NY), I
feel pretty good. I do better w/ a narrow stance & arm swing. I was
putting way too much body & hip into it . I'm not driving as far but
more acurate. I think next season I'll hit a few rounds & get a tuneup.
I think w/ a pro your really paying for a pro evaluation. It's hard to
pick up what were missing sometimes.

It could take a while. Don't worry about it. It's much better than
the alternative of being a hack the rest of your life. The scores
you shoot today won't mean anything in 5 years, unless you
give up and go back to what seems "natural". Then 5 years
from now you'll be shooting the same scores.

I've been working with the same instructor now for 4 years. It took maybe 5
or 6 months for me to start hitting the ball the way I want to.

The instructor isn't going to let you go until her boat is paid off.
It has nothing to do with your progress.
