Sarah Steil Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Do you have a hard time making time for golf lessons? Would a remote option enable you to enhance your golf skill more than you have been able to? cksurfdude 1 Quote Link to comment
cksurfdude Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Hey Sarah - great question, and you'll get a lot of good answers here, but .. it all depends on a few factors... .. First and foremost is finding an instructor with whom you can communicate well - you understand them .. the literal WHAT of what they're describing .. and they understand you .. the actual question you're asking. Someone who can evaluate _you_ and your capabilities. Really critical for learning this game! .. So given that, are *you* more comfortable taking instruction in-person or do you feel you could do just as well remotely? .. even if you can't definitively decide on that you could, for example, start with some one in person and then go remote if that's more convenient for you. fixyurdivot, TR1PTIK, sirchunksalot and 1 other 4 Quote WITB of an "aspiring" play-ah ...

Pandaman Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 PersonalIy would think in-person would be the best way to start your journey with a teaching pro. After a couple of lessons then maybe a hybrid approach would be worth trying. Going remote could be a convenient way to help keep you on track more frequently than would otherwise be practical.

I think you make a great point. Elaborating on convenience, so many people seem to want to golf but lack time, resources, and even a course. Does that strengthen the case for a remote opportunity? cksurfdude 1 Quote Link to comment

Thank you for the response. I completely agree. I think what would be great about remote lessons would be the convenience aspect of it. Personally, would it benefit you? Or do you know someone it would benefit? cksurfdude 1 Quote Link to comment

stephenmatt Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) If you do not have time for in person lessons then something like skillest.com might be a great option for you.

I completely agree, but a virtual/remote option as a supplement to help keep track between relatively infrequent in-person lessons could be a useful tool. cksurfdude 1 Quote Link to comment

Yes several people alluded to that after the op and then if you look at the subsequent posts from the op they are talking about the convenience of remote lessons and then asking if that would benefit a person that replied to a previous if they would benefit that person. OP joined, created this themes and replied a couple times and that’s it’s for activity cksurfdude 1 Quote Link to comment

Hoyoymac Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Today I drove a little over an hour one way for my first lesson with a new coach. An hour lesson and paid $250 for the lesson. Two hours of driving, three hours total time away from home. Worth every penny! If I can hit the ball tomorrow like I did today it will be worth even more. My coach texted me a video after the lesson that he took while we were working together demonstrating a drill he wants me to do. When I asked him when we should get together again he told me it was completely up to me. When I had mastered what we had discussed come back if I want help with something else. I’m excited to get to the range tomorrow! jtgavigan, cnosil, Kenny B and 3 others 6 Quote Cobra LTDx LS 9.0 TPT Power Range 18 LO Cobra LTDx 3W lofted to 16.5 TPT 17 HI Tour Edge E723 21 degree Diamana Thump f85 S Cobra LTDx 24 degree 5 hybrid TPT 17 LO Corey Paul - 5 & 6 CB with KBS $-Taper 120 Stiff Black Corey Paul 7 - PW Japan Forged Minimalist Blades KBS $-Taper 120 Stiff Chrome Corey Paul Functional Art 52, 56 & 60 all with BGT ZNE shafts Odyssey O Works Black #7 with BGT Stability Tour Shaft, SuperStroke Traxion 3.0 & 75g CounterCore Bridgestone Tour BRX or MaxFli Tour Tracked by Arccos, Bushnell V4, Vessel Lux XV 2.0 bag, Bag Boy quad XL cart with Alphard V2 wheels Link to comment
