Hey folks,

I've been working hard at my game and have sort of gotten to the point that I need some help to take it to the level I want. I live in Massachusetts and play collegiate golf at a school in Philadelphia. I've been looking around to get some instruction, and taken a few preliminary lessons, but the problem I've been having is that I've almost gotten too much good advice from Brian and his Academy instructors, where I hear teachers at lessons telling me to swing out to right field to stop the ball going left, work on releasing my angle earlier and de-lagging and things that I just know are incorrect.

I would love to be able to work with Brian but the travel distance makes that impossible with financial constraints. I'm not sure if this is kosher to ask but I was wondering if Brian or anyone here knew of someone who could give me some good information and assistance in the Boston area. Again I wish I could work with Brian or Ben or Jim etc. but I just can't swing traveling cross country for a lesson or school. Immediately I thought of seeing Michael Jacobs while at school as its only a 3-4 hour drive from Philly to Long Island, but I'd also love to find someone around Boston to see in the meantime.

If a question of this nature is inappropriate please remove.

Thanks,

Kev

Find an instructor you trust that is grounded in the fundamentals of necessary impact conditions and tell them you want 2 ways to get there.
You have that right and choice. If they don't think so, move on.

Let me say this. This website and this good gentleman are my True North. I may stray a bit to learn from other sources, but ultimately I sift all new imformation throught Brian and this gang. I ain't here to kiss ass or appear to be a kool aid disciple. I'm a Businessman.

Your instructor should be able to do 3 things in the first lesson and in every lesson there after for that matter:

1) You should leave the lesson hitting it BETTER than when you got there.
2) You should be able to understand (a little at a time) what the instructor is trying to get you do so you don't have to rely on him/her forever.
3) You should be able to hit at least 1 ball in a 60 minute lesson how you've always wanted to hit it.

If him/her can't do the above 3, chalk it up as a "bad debt expense" (hehehe) and find someone else.
