10 Basic Rules In Choosing The Right Golf School

When choosing a golf school you should consider these 10 basic rules:

1.) Decide what you are willing to spend before looking. The best schoolscharge in the low to mid one thousands, but do offer great amenities as well ashighly professional instructors. Most of the best schools offer greatvacation packages that are included in the price. Ask about special pricing.Some schools may drop their prices if they need students. If you are willingto commute, prices can be as low as $300.00.

2.) Look for 2 to 1 teaching ratio with 1 to 1 being ideal. Never use morethan a 4 to 1 ratio unless you cannot afford the higher price schools.

3.) The school instructors should be seasoned professionals that are highlyqualified. Make sure at least 2 of the teaching professionals are recognizedin the golf world/community. Use the internet search engines to researchnames of the instructors being used at the school you are considering.

4.) If you choose a school that includes accommodations and transportationincluded in the price, research the hotel as well. It is always better tohave accommodations close to the golf course you are receiving lessons from.Most of the great schools will cater to your needs because word of mouth isthere best advertisement for return business.

5.) There are certain schools that concentrate on certain aspects of teaching.Do you need work on your putting? Choose a school that is strong in that areaof the game. If you need work on your swing, choose accordingly. Golfinstruction websites will indicate if they specialize to certain weaknesses.

6.) The golf school should provide a specific lesson plan for your swing. Theyshould tailor it specifically for you and not for everyone else. There is noway to research this other than word of mouth.

7.) The school should provide unlimited follow up via email or phone. I thinkthis is probably the most important because it shows how genuine they are inimproving your game.

8.) Look for testimonials. Do not rely on testimonials on their own brochuresor websites. Look for ratings from other outside sources. These may not beavailable, but look anyway. It is a true measure of the school. Word of mouthis very powerful.

9.) If you should also think of the school as a vacation the accommodationsand surrounding area should fit your lifestyle off the course. Also, look forgolf schools that provide unlimited golf after your teaching sessions areover. Be sure to get your moneys worth.

10.) If you cannot afford the price of a golf school check the websites forfree advice. There are many websites out there that give free lessons andtips. Some even provide video demonstrations.
