My personal view is that if possible you should try to get lessons at a golf course. That way you can have playing lessons with the pro and learn how to play the game - as opposed to "grooving a swing".Any recommendations on where to get lessons in Melbourne? I am a 25 handicapper and have never had them before, and how long would you recommend for someone that has never had lessons, is 30 minutes enough time?
If you are starting out you'll need at least an hour for each of the initial lessons.
And you need to clear out 2 hours in the diary afterwards to work on what you've been taught. It's amazing how many people you see that have a lesson, finish the last handful of balls in the bucket then jump in the car and go home. What's the point?
