    looking for lessons

    My play is all over the place this year, and after five years of underachieving in the 90s, when I should really be improving, I need some lessons. I don't want to spend a fortune, and I have found in the past that I'm the kind of player who can take a few little pointers and tips and go with it, so I don't necessarily need a long series (although obviously the more the better). I can watch an infomercial about a new training aid, head out the range, and usualy do a good job of replicating whatever that training aid promotes - I just need someone who can help me put them all together. Video analysis would be great too. Any suggestions on some good pros, who aren't going to charge an arm and a leg? Thanks

    I did this last winter:

    $75 for the summer, and they spend a few minutes every time you go giving you pointers and video taping your swing.

    I'll second the T-to-Green recommendation. It's the best deal in town for the summer and the $75 includes 1 45-min full lesson. I was down there today, working on getting my hips to start my downswing, rather than my arms...

    I checked it out, and it does look like a good deal, but doesn't really work for me - not with my schedule at work. No way I can get in on the weekdays between 9 and 4, and on the days its open til 8, other ppl need the car. Thanks for the info, and I may try it out in the future, but for this year, I don't think I can manage.

    Completly re-staffed (although Dave Duskin (sp?) may be back for the winter session). You often get different people on different days, so sometimes get different tips for the same problem. But still a great deal. And still a friendly place to practice!
