So, spending time on the green seems like a perfect way to spend your day off, but you seem to end up at the bar all day because your swing is embarrassing? Maybe you just want to know the difference between a birdie and a slice. Sounds like you need golf lessons, and there are some great professionals who offer golf lessons in Louisville.
Most professionals that offer golf lessons in Louisville work with individuals, but there are some who will teach groups. Most instructors will also give golf lessons to juniors (18 and under), and some offer junior clinics. A popular tool for golf instructors, video taping can allow you to see your own swing and better understand the critiques the instructor offers during your golf lessons.
As always, when taking lessons, you’ll want to find an instructor that fits your schedule and budget. Golf lessons are priced by the hour or half hour. Some courses have staff on hand to teach golf lessons , while others use independent instructors that offer lessons by appointment only.
