2 day golf school

most of the time i would think that a school or clinic that is conducted by someone or a club that you will probably never go to again would be a waste of time and money; so i was very hesitant to sign up for one. first i thought i would do one at pinehurst, but then i thought it would be good to combine a golf school for me and a vacation for the rest of the family...so i started looking in myrtle beach.

i did find many and since i am about 3.5 hours away...it was a little hard to do some research. i went through a national company that "hosts" schools in different locations all over the us, they hooked me up with the joe bernat golf academy which is located at tpc myrtle beach. since the national company did not tell me who the instructor was or anything about the process i did not have the opportunity to do any research...they just told me to show up and the instructor would be expecting me...so i did.

i showed up a little early (as usual) and after a while got hooked up with joe, who was a fabulous host as well as instructor. joe has the personality and patience that makes it hard to not really like him. he is a real regular guy who really wants you to improve. most of you know that i am a little on the hard headed side and changes in the golf swing come a bit slow, so joe's patience was tested. i spent two days from 8am to 3 pm with joe and another student. i cant begin to tell you all the different things that i learned that will certainly help me lower my handicap. joe helped me make some slight changes to my swing that will help with accuracy, distance and consistency. nothing major, no swing rebuild, or something crazy that would be hard to remember or groove. joe's classes are limited to 2 or 3 students, so the amount of time you get with the instructor is great, you can ask all the questions you like and get more than enough attention. after the morning session, working on the range or putting green its out to the course, to work on bringing it to the course.

i cant wait to get to the driving range to work on the things i learned, want to get them grooved in so they start to become natural. i can't relate to you how beneficial these 2 days were, so much that i will be visiting joe again this winter and if you think about it, anyone who could put up with me for 2 days has got to be a regular guy!

you can check out joe at his web site, just clck HERE
