    Lessons at Golf Town Trainyards or Kevin Haime?

    I'm looking to take some lessons either at Golf Town Trainyards (close to home) or at Kevin Haime's (close to work).

    Anyone have a pro to recommend at either place?

    Thanks!

    Haimes, if for no other reason that hitting balls into a screen sucks!!

    Sorry, I agree with Hacker...I read through the 'or' in the opening post. Why take lessons inside during the summer when you've got the good weather? Save the indoor stuff to 'keep it going' through the winter. Haime's for sure....

    Haime's

    I have had three 1Hr lessons with Jay Prince at KH's so far and i am very happy with the results thus far. He is a great teacher and the video replay at each lesson really has helped me with my swing.

    Haven't had any experience at GT Trainyards location, but as stated by Hacker, hitting into a screen really doesn't do justice to actually seeing the full flight of a ball...

    I've taken lessons with Greg Foley at KH and would recommend highly.

    I received some lessons from Golftown for Christmas 2 years ago. Took them with Marc Lacombe. I thought he was good, he didn't ask me to change my swing completely - a few tweaks here and there and after a couple of lessons I was pretty happy with the results.

    All in all I would go outside if possible though. For me personally hitting off grass is always better - and outside you can work on so many more things like short shots (100 yards or less - can't really hit those inside), short game around the green, putting.

    If you only want to take a couple of lessons on the full swing then Marc is great though.

    agree with Jay Prince. He kept me from quitting the game last year.

    Jay Prince

    Thanks for the suggestions folks. I have a lesson booked with Jay Prince for next week. If he can help me turn my snaphook back into the nice draw it used to be, I'll be happy
