Get Your Lessons on You Tube

As I've shared before, I decided to see how much progress I could make playing golf without taking lessons. I read two instructional books that helped me get started with a proper grip and stance, and I finally took my first and only lesson a few months ago, which improved my posture. However, now that I've discovered "You Tube", I probably would have skipped the books and lesson altogether! Go to YouTube.com and do a search for "golf instruction" or "how to swing a golf club". There's a lot of instructional video out there!



You can even learn how PGA Professional, John Dunigan, fixed Charles Barkley's golf swing (at least for that day) in the video above. Then, Robert Baker takes a stab at fixing Barkeley's "hitch" in this video at You Tube.

Here's a beginner lesson on grip, stance and swing. Later, you'll be ready for this analysis of Tiger's swing. Personally, I'm still convinced all you really need to do is pick a target and swing at it. I'm willing to try anything though to start sinking those short putts and beat those greenside bunkers!
