Anyone know estimated price for golf lessons and where?

[SouthOfTheBorder]

I know of golf lessons ranging from $25/hr to $150/hr.

Where?…….

Check with any of the driving ranges/pro shops both in and near The Villages.
Check the Daily Sun.
Google "golf lessons the villages".
Ask any friends who play golf for references.
Watch the golf channel for other teaching aids.

Hope that helps get you started….:thumb up:

Any advice for a golf true beginner? Are there basic lessons/ introduction to the game anywhere in a TV?

I always suggested group lessons for beginners. What you need to learn can be taught very easily in a group setting.

I think that The Villages has some kind of golf school for beginners.

Other than that, spend a lot of time at the practice range and chipping and putting on the practice green before you venture out onto a golf course. When you do go out onto a course, go with an experienced player that knows how to keep pace. At first don't count your score, just have fun. You may not finish some of the holes and that's OK. If you've taken a lot of strokes on a hole and there are people behind you or you're holding up your playing companions then just pick up and go to the next hole. You're not there to shoot a score, you're there to learn.

If you can, sign up for scramble tournaments. They are a great way for beginners to get introduced to the game. Make sue that your team mates know that you are an absolute beginner. Ask them to help you understand the etiquette and rules of the game, but not to help you with your swing, especially if you are taking lessons.

If someone you are playing with decides to point out some flaws in your game, just say, "That's exactly what I'm working on with my instructor." Then ignore what they're telling you.

I recommend "New to Golf" @ Palmers.
Golf cart accessible.
Group lessons, and Maria is great!
You'll learn the basics and meet other newbies.

I concur. Great course and instructor.

Sandra is off campus, on 301, about 1/2 mile s/ o 466. She is great with women and I believe she is the high school girl's coach. My wife absolutely loves her.

She works with both.

I am currently taking lessons with Sandra at Golf Your Best (Oxford) and it has been a great experience so far. I am new to golf and she has definitely made me feel comfortable while teaching me the basics. Everyone at the facility is very friendly and accommodating. I see her teaching men and women and have heard only positive comments from people who have had lessons with her. Would highly recommend her for lessons!!
