Both Brad and I got golf clubs for Christmas (um, Christmas '06 but who's counting), so we finally signed up for golf lessons determined to learn how to play the "right way" instead of trying to teach ourselves. So, we had our first lesson this weekend and learned lesson #1: don't take your first golf lesson in early March - turns out standing on the green when you are shivering is not ideal.
But overall, the lesson was great - Joe, our new instructor extraordinaire, talked verryyyyy slowwwlllyyyy but was also really patient and didn't make us (um, me) feel ridiculous when I didn't even know what the different types of clubs are (which by the way would be woods (including drivers), irons (including wedges), putters, and the new hybrids). We spent the lesson learning the basics of golf etiquette, how to hold the club and swing and finally after 50 mins of lesson time, actually took out some golf balls and hit some putts.
Bottomline is that we suck. BUT, we suck just a little less than we did before the lesson so I'd call that success!
