Has anyone here ever taken the Villages New to Golf class's? My wife has never played and I haven't played in years and we're wondering if it's worth the money or should we try somewhere outside the Villages for lessons?

I just finished New to Golf II. It is not the beginner BUT I know this was great so the New To Golf should be as good. I had been trying to hit a ball in the air for 5 years with no luck even after other lessons. Now I can hit it in the air. Not great distance but better then ever. I have hit 130 yards but that is once. Usually 60 or 70. I have been chipping and pitching pretty well since the lessons. Putting I still need work. I am sure it will be well worth the time and money. We had John Lubin as our instructor. Go for it--Best lessons I have ever had.

The best beginner golf lessons are at Water Oaks. Every Mon at 12:00 Bud conducts a free clinic on one aspect of the game. He provides private lessons for $10.00/30 minutes and donates the money to his church youth camp. Excellent, simple basic stuff and is a real confidence builder.

One of the Doggie Doo Run Run regulars joked that he wished his bowling score was his golf score and vice versa. :joke:

I loved the man at Water Oaks ( My first lessons)BUT I learned 100% more at New to Golf School. It cost $225 for 5 days--7 1/2 hours. A video is done to show how you hit. Well worth the money.

My husband and I are taking the course in February. We took a private lesson yesterday with Maria and now I can hit the ball. Where is Water Oaks? We are new to TV (this is our second week) I would love to meet this man and work with him between now and our class. Any help will be wonderful.
