How to Take Lessons in the Winter (or in Secret)

The overwhelming majority of recreational golfers do not take lessons. It is another one of those quizzical, only-in-golf mysteries. Most of us could use help and the help is widely available, so, naturally, most golfers instead keep their heads down (or not) and plod on, hoping to master the game on their own.

According to the National Golf Foundation, roughly 11 percent of all golfers take lessons.

Now, some golfers avoid lessons because they believe they cannot be helped. Which just proves what golf can do to you. It’s also most likely not true. Some golfers have taken exactly one lesson, and when they did not improve as much as they had hoped, they never went back — for 15 years now. Some golfers don’t want to spend the money, even though they buy a new driver every spring and spend $200 a year on range balls.

Other golfers, and this is a big group, like to work things out for themselves. I’ve never quite understood this. Did they learn to drive a car by themselves? Would they install a flat-screen TV on the living room wall without help?

Of course not. And we all know golf is infinitely harder than installing a flat-screen television. Golf is harder than building a flat-screen television. By hand. In the dark.

Anyway, one of the real reasons people don’t take lessons is the embarrassment factor. A golfer has to acknowledge needing help and then go to a practice range where other people might be watching and submit to an overhaul of some part of the golf swing.

It’s a little like asking for directions when you’re lost. Did I mention that women are four times more likely to take lessons than men?

One new and increasingly prominent dynamic in the instruction landscape is the indoor golf simulator, a device that allows for a more private and multidimensional lesson experience. Lessons given on simulators, where the golfer hits a ball into a flat or wraparound screen in a studiolike atmosphere, have grown in popularity in the last five years, especially among beginners, juniors and women.
