If you’re a low handicapper why screw it up by going to a pro who will inevitably try to teach you to swing like he does?

I am a under 20 handicap. I could probably help you a lot. First tip, start at the 19th hole.

Looking for a tweak.
That's why I'm looking for a specific Pro.
Not looking for a generic, broad-brush teacher.

If it ain't broke, why try to fix it. :shrug:

we aren't low handicappers, nor mid handicappers, but we can shoot in the mid-high 80s when the sun is shining properly. . . .

search in the Orlando area. . .

We went with Larry Rinker, ex pga player and current pro teacher, and he specializes in old people swings, a one time present to each of us as he is very expensive, and he made very specific recommendations and also golfed a round with us for a full day the monday after the Father / son PGA tournament for best playing conditions evah! . My play improved tremendously practicing his tweaks, not so much when i don't practice..

good luck,

My dad was a scratch golfer, yet rarely gave lessons to any of us.
His tip, it’s your game, respect the game, the rules. If one can’t enjoy the few hours of solitude, enjoying the great moments, don’t dwell on the bad shot, then golf is not your game.

Stephen Wresh at Continental Country Club. Best in the area. Excellent with low handicap golfers.

I can give you lessons but my hourly rate is very high ( same rate as Butch Harmon charges ). 😳

I hear Mitch Adcock at Palmer is excellent with low handicappers. He is a former PGA Tour player.

Steve Wresh at Continental, I shoot in the low 80's and he is giving me some changes to get into the 70's
