Can't Find Any Good Golf Instructors?

For the golfer who is seeking to be the best they can be, finding the right instructor can be a very difficult task. For those seeking moderate golf improvement, you'll want a good instructor which means you'll have to do some searching. For all other golfers, finding an instructor isn't a big deal. Almost any instructor with some experience is worth trying, and if you don't seem to mesh with one, try others until you find someone you like.

For the serious golfer, even in a city as large as Los Angeles, you may have trouble finding the right instructor, although you should be able to find some instructors who do have a passion to teach. Unfortunately, passion doesn't guarantee skill and knowledge, but it is better than nothing.

If you can't find a Golf Professional who has put in a lot of effort to learning the golf swing and how to teach it, you may still be able to find a golf instructor who can improve your game. Consider (carefully) getting instruction from a golf instructor who is, or was, a very good player.

However, think long and hard before letting this "good player" try to teach you much about the golf swing. Remember, tour players take more lessons than anyone. If the best players in the world truly understood the golf swing, then they wouldn't need any instruction!

So rather than have a "good player" try to instruct you on what a correct golf swing is, you should have this instructor teach you how to play. After all, that's what they know how to do. Have them teach you course strategy, how to hit low shots, high shots, hooks, slices, fades and draws, and whatever else they can think of to help you lower your scores. Focus especially hard on the short game.

If you're serious about improving your game significantly, your golf swing will have to improve. For this, you should be willing to make the extra effort of finding the best golf instructor you can!
