Three tips from a pro for getting the most out of your golf lesson.
A winner in 1992 on the LPGA Tour, Jennifer Wyatt teaches out of the Savage Creek Driving Range and Quilchena Golf and Country Club in Richmond, British Columbia. Her motto: No thoughts, just feels.
1. Capture Everything. On tour, Wyatt’s coach insisted she carry a notebook in her bag. “Write everything down. It’s good to know, if you were hitting the ball well, what were you thinking and doing?” Many people use a smartphone. “A grip change, for example,” says Wyatt. “I’ll take before-and-after pictures."
2. Arrive Early and Get Warm. “You’d be amazed how many people show up frazzled and late,” says Wyatt. “And the golf swing is definitely better when you’re relaxed.” Wyatt advocates a dynamic warm-up, using stretches and lunges.
3. Be "Open." Students should have goals, but they should also be open to suggestion. Your goals may change during that first lesson, Wyatt notes. “Someone might tell me, ‘I’m not finishing my swing. If I could just get to my left side, I’d have more power.’ When, really, their grip is weak, they aren’t turning properly and there is no snap of the wrist or follow-through.”
