Thinking About Golf School?
1. Less Chore, More Adventure
Have you tried lessons at your home course? Think about how that works for you. It can be as trying as taking piano lessons was when you were a child. It's not fun, it's a chore. And since it is a chore, you repeat it every week or two all season, until you dread it and finally give up.
A golf school, however, can be an adventure! Everything about it is new: the location, the instructors, format, technology, courses. And you will meet other players along the way. Embrace the novelty of it. -->A few leading golf schools

2. Leading Instructors
Your local club professional is probably a great guy. But he and his assistants cannot realistically spend their time focusing on just teaching; they have to administer the operations of the course. They only work with a handful of students per year, and do not see that much variety of issues.
Many of the better golf school instructors are full-time instructors. They work with new sets of students every week, and over time they have seen it all. The best instructors will not force you to fit their system, but will show you how their system will fit your game. -->Key questions to ask about a golf school's instructors
3. Overhaul or Focus: Your Choice
What is the one thing which costs you the most strokes? Is it your swing mechanics? Or maybe your confidence at hitting short irons shots? Perhaps it's your putting? While you can pick a golf school to give you a complete "soup to nuts" review of your game, you can also pick a school which focuses on a particular topic of interest to you. -->Examples of niche golf schools
4. Four's a Party! Group Memories
What better way for your regular foursome to start a new season than to spend a vacation at a golf school? You have the built-in camaraderie of your playing partners mixed with a new setting and great courses. Many schools are based at world-class resorts, so your group can enjoy fine dining and other activities when not on the course. Plus, you just might be able to negotiate a discount for bringing three friends along! -->Golf schools in resort settings
5. Stay and Play The Area's Courses
If you are considering a school out of town, look into the courses near the facility. Ask if they have arranged discounts with top courses for students who wish to extend their stay and immediately put their experience into practice. --Coming soon: a search engine to find great course values near golf schools!
