After seeing an offer on Groupon for a video golf lesson for £19, I thought I would take advantage of it. I hoped it would sort out my set up and alignment which I thought was the the main problem with my game. I had the lesson today and it was quite an eyeopener.
The first thing that stood out was how hunched my stance was, I basically bend the top of my back instead of bending from the waist, my grip is also too strong apparently. The pro changed my grip a little, even though I swore I didnt want my grip messing with, but he insisted it was fundimental to making me swing better. Fortunately the change is only slight but it felt like I was barely holding the club and had no control over it. That said when I took a shot it didnt feel too bad, the changing of my stance felt the strangest. The pro did assure my that if I could change those two elements then he could work on my swing a lot more.
So I hummed and ahhed and decided to book 5 lessons starting in two weeks, the price wasn't too bad for booking in advance and I will see where they take me. It will give me something to work on during the winter, I just hope I dont start going backwards.
