The Navy and Marine Corps sometimes have free golf clinics to active duty personnel during lunch hour (generally Tues). I took advantage of one at 32nd St and got a good lesson about timing.

Back in the old days, our caddie master (who was also the assistant golf pro at the Country Club) gave a pointer that added 20 yards to my golf shots (playing hands ahead of the ball at address).

Had my first lesson yesterday and absolutely loved it. I got my driver straightened out had an overall great time. Can't wait to go back, and definetly recommend them to everyone out there. You can always get better at this sport.

Golf is one sport where you constantly work on one thing or another. The Six Sigma folks would love it! (constant process improvement) We're always looking at ways to play better, simplify our game and add shots to our arsenal.

There is a certain charm in just enjoying the game, good or bad. My wife started this year (over 60) and we still have a long way to go to get her down the fairway at 100+ yards a clip. However, while I only use half as many strokes, she is just loving the experience and being outside. I'm learning patience and we do let the serious ones go by, but it does make it easier for her to let me play some without her now that we do have time together.

Definitely need some lessons (every 4-6 weeks during a season or starting a month before courses open) to get started in the game. Once you have consistency with a swing, it is what it is unless you want to spend 2-4 times a week working on your game.
