How PGA/LPGA Pros Encourage Golfers to Get On the Lesson Tee

Florida
"Let them know how much fun it can be. I tell them about others like them who have started in my beginner program and are playing on a regular basis now."  
- John Gorgone, Teaching Professional

"I tell them it will make the game more fun. I tell them Tiger still takes lessons."  
- John Pallot, Teaching Professional

France
"People usually come to me through word of mouth." 
- Daniel Raleigh, Teaching Professional

Michigan
"By doing the best I can to tell them about myself and my level instruction -- which might include some or all of the following: my years of teaching, my background, my use of teaching aids, video equipment and so forth."
- Bob Menzies, Teaching Professional

Minnesota
"Even Tiger has a teacher."
- Jim Manthis, Teaching Professional

Nevada
"Your personality must make them comfortable and your knowledge, supported by sincerity, must earn their time. Be prepared to be generous with your time and knowledge – what goes around comes around!"  - Karl Fischer, Teaching Professional  

New Mexico
"A swing tip on the range or a golfer simply overhearing a lesson or discussion usually leads to first lessons - anything to help the person realize that you or a lesson with you is not that intimidating of a proposition. Also, a good tournament finish is usually good for some lessons along with word of mouth from your current customers to friends." 
- Warren Lehr, Teaching Professional  

New York
"I encourage them to invite their friends and start a group lesson. This way they can feel at ease. By taking lessons they will have fun learning golf the correct way. Bad habits come up when no one is there to catch them while they try to develop. Once a golfer feels comfortable with a bad habit, it's hard to break. This is why I encourage them to get started on the right track by having a lesson so there is always a purpose and a plan to each shot."   Connie Chillemi, Teaching Professional

Texas
"I assure the member that I will take what they do well and make it better. Any changes will be based on their individual goals and time schedule."
- Dave Baron, Teaching Professional
