Golf Schools Are Your Best Bet

Monday, February 1st, 2010

If you want to make a BIG LEAP in improving your golf game then a golf school is your best bet. A golf school is 100% dedicated to making you a better golfer. The majority of the golf schools can and will teach you to become a better golfer.

The 5 major features a good golf school should be offering are:

1. No more than a 4 to 1 teaching ratio with 2 to 1 being something to look for and 1 to 1 being ideal, but will be a lot more pricey.
2. The golf school's pros should be seasoned teaching professionals that are highly qualified. Make sure at least 2 of the teaching professionals are recognized in the golf world/community.
3. The golf school should have accommodations included in the price with the accommodations on or very near the golf course where you're taught.
4. The golf school should provide a specific lesson plan for your swing. They should tailor it specifically for you and not follow a caned plan.
5. The golf school should provide unlimited follow up via email or phone. I think this is probably the most important because it shows how genuine they are in improving your game.

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

When planning for a golf vacation in Carnoustie, some avid golfers tend to ignore the details in the accommodations. Often this is because some golfers simply want to play on the links and the lodging and meals don't have to be something special.

Carnoustie Golf Vacation -To golfers with families who go with them on golf vacations, perhaps the arrangements could use a bit more options. And for the veteran golfers who would like a smooth golfing vacation - from the airport pickup, other travel arrangements, the caddies on the course, the meals involved, the booked rooms for two or a family of three, to the time spent on the golf course - sometimes a bit more luxury, or at least, a larger golf package, is called for.
