Lessons Next Year {Recommendations}

[felsteinb]

I use to be a 2 handicapper and have gone up to a 4. I am slowly seeing my game start to wash away. I want to take the Humber Collage course Professional Golf Course Management and really want to get my game back into shape. I have the game and have seen it before but I am lacking the consistency to get me though a hole round. I have never taken lessons in the 10 year I have been playing but I think I want to take some next summer to try and sharpen my game. Do you guys/girls have any recommendations regarding who I should go to? I want to work on every aspect of my game but don't want to spend 1000's of $. I live in Milton and am looking for somewhere in the Milton, Oakville, Burlington area. Are there any packages a say Glen Abby or anywhere else? Any help would be great. J

not in your specified area but the teaching academy at Eagles Nest is incredible. It's run by Henry Brunton who is the RCGA's top teaching pro. His assistants are great and you can get packages of 5 lessons for $350.

Give Tina Clahane at Trafalgar G&CC in Milton a call. Very knowledgeable about the swing, and communicates at the level of the player. She also has her own video equipment, if you want to go that route. Her rates are great for a Class A CPGA pro. She is by far the busiest pro at the club, with a lot of male and female students.

Her website is www.tinaclahanegolf.com (http://www.tinaclahanegolf.com).

I would also seriously consider receiving isntruction on the mental aspect of the game.

I want to take the Humber Collage course Professional Golf Course Management JI just spent a year in the program and I'll head you some advice I wish I had. Don't bother. The program is incredibly expensive and helps you get your foot in the door for a seasonal job at less than poverty level. It's a great industry to be in but financially it's murder. I got out because I couldn't make the bills and the savings had run out. If you're young and can live at home and get by on a low income then it's a great industry. If you're one of the lucky ones then you'll get a good year round job but the reality is that they are far and few between. However I'm glad I gave it a try and learned what I needed to learn.

As for instruction, take a look at Lionhead's academy. It's supposed to be the best in the area. If you're serious, I'd do a group lesson package with you and we could save some cash. I live around the corner from there and I'm actually looking at booking some lessons either today or tomorrow.

there's a roving (not tied to one course) clublink instructor who's kind of a mental game guru... i can't remember is name, though...

my dad (handicap 6) took lessons from him, and he said he had an entire lesson without swinging a club.
