Message: [QUOTE="EROCK CONN, post: 3587277, member: 1589"] lifelong golfer here. I'm pretty good and I still take lessons occasionally for refinement / improvement. If you like playing, then you absolutely should get some lessons. Go find a pro that teaches you proper fundamentals (grip, posture, stance, alignment etc.) and then makes minor adjustments and doesnt try and majorly revamp your swing (which even pros rarely make huge changes, just minor adjustments). Also, remember, everyone's bodies are different, so if a pro ever tells you to swing like one of the touring pros, go find someone else. There's a 99% chance you are athletically not capable of swinging like Dustin Johnson. I've had a number of teachers over the years. Most of the guys I grew up getting taught by are retired. Now, i really like Northeast Performance Institute (they just bought golf quest and have the place in Portland) right now. I would also recommend reading about golf. Start with mental books: -Zen Golf is the best sports psychology book ever -Golf is Not a Game of Perfect I'd also highly highly recommend you read Pelz's Short Game Bible. That book is loaded with info you've never even thought of and his methodology on hitting 50-120 yard shots will transform your game if you practice those shots. [/QUOTE]
