The first thing Tiger Woods did after winning the 2000 US Open by 15 shots was to have a golf lesson with his coach.
Many scratch golfers, low single figure handicappers and especially elite golfers have golf lessons all the time.
Then we have the mid-high handicappers who never seem to book a golf lesson.
Yet many of these would have no qualms about spending £400+ on a brand new driver or set of irons.
And as someone who falls into the latter category, I have a pretty reasonable explanation why.
After doing a bit of club testing last week I got chatting to Scott Oxley, head teaching pro at Moor Allerton in Leeds.
Then I asked him to look at my swing in the hope he’d give me a quick little tip to work on at the range.
You know, something quick and easy that would work straight away, requiring very little effort or commitment.
Before I knew it he’d set up two cameras – one straight on and one down the line – to fully dissect what I was doing.
