That is one of the most important things that people have to understand if they are going to take lessons.
I've always maintained that golf, or any physical activity for that matter, cannot really be taught, it must be learned. What a good instructor does is show you how to learn. the student must put forth the effort to take what the instructor has given him or her and spending time using it to learn.
You cannot teach someone how to play golf by telling them how to do it. They must be able to feel how to do it. More importantly, you cannot teach someone how to play golf by telling them what not to do. Too many people feel that if only someone would explain to them what they are doing wrong they would be able to play good golf.
As kcrazorbackfan says, go and take instruction for a PGA/LPGA instructor and then commit to at least five hours a week working on what they show you.
