Simple rules for golf learners

Try to set up communication with a teacher and have him set up communication with you on your terms. It’s really important, and the best student-teacher relationships are founded on good communication. Let him talk to you on your terms. Don’t be forced to communicate on his terms.

Accept what the teacher says at face value. Give it a try. If it doesn’t seem to work or make sense, then question it. Don’t take it blindly, because you can be led down a path of three or four months of working to get rid of whatever it is you’re practicing if you’ve been given information that is wrong for you.
Here are a few more simple rules:
1.A lesson is no good if you don’t work on it. You need to practice to improve in the sports you play.
2.Three 30-minute practice sessions in a week are better than two 45-minute sessions, which are better than one 90-minute session, which is better than nothing. That’s the transition I much prefer; frequent short practices are much better than sporadic long practice sessions.
3.Never practice before a round, only after. Or when you’re not playing.

4.The frequency of your lessons should be determined by the following: You will either have learned or assimilated what the teacher suggested and you figure you’re ready to go onto the next level, or you’ll be confused and screwed up and have to go back and get it re-explained. The time frame varies considerably based on the subject that the lesson focused on. Sometimes it can be a week, sometimes it can be a month. I don’t favor constant, every Friday afternoon lesson formats. Invariably you turn into a swing freak and stop remembering how to play golf.
