Make sure that your instructor is PGA of America certified. A great way to do this is to check the best instructor lists in a golf magazine like Golf Digest.
Be open about how often you engage in golf practice and how long you’ve been playing. An instructor’s approach to professional golf vs. beginner golf vs. junior golf will differ heavily.
Another way to do this is to take notes during golf lessons. Jot down all the golf tips you receive from the instructor in a handy little notebook so you can review them in
the future.
