guys,

Galing nyo pala mag golf. I want to start to learn, meron ba kayo alam na professional trainer. Mga tinanong ko, USGTF certified pa daw kaya sinsingil 1,200/hour. :praning: Hirap yata lunukin ng price.

Baka naman may kayo trainor ng beginner.

Thanks

Don Camote location mo?. kung malapit ka QC, PM me. recommend kita dun sa pro na nagturo sakin.
Same as theveed, relative beginner(119 was my lowest, bogey lang masaya na) lang ako until that freak motor accident that fractured my left wrist stop me from playing. thinking of practicing again & see if my left wrist is ok. i am just waiting for my wallet to thicken a bit(if ever).

DonCamote,
usually local driving range has its own roster of golf PRO, and they have their own tag price, i was taught in the early 90s (before the golf boom) lessons rendered was just 200/session and a couple bottles of beer...

imho after learning the basics nothing beats the lessons to be learn at the fairway.

Same as Kimpoy, like to play but no money hehhehe...

lumang Lynx lang pamalo ko, dont play enough to warrant buying a better set.

relative beginner lang, lowest round ko 112 ata tsamba pa ata hehehehe

very true chieffy. kaya mula nung madisgrasya left wrist ko, napansin kong medyo lumuwag ang financing sa buhay ko.

used to play for free at Mimosa Clark via dependent law sa membership ng dad ko, nung nalaman nilang i was over 18 nawala na rin ang privilege ko.
maganda ang scoring system sa mimosa (under gonzales) before i was (according to them) 24 handicapper, by the time i was breaking 100 dun nila ako pinahinto maglaro ng free.

Tips
concentrate on your short game, once you master chipping and putting you'll be collecting money on the 19th Hole

sinubukan ko dati pumalo sa driving range in a resort in Thailand, libre naman hehehe, ang sakit sa balikat at braso, mali ata form ko.

[silverbx986]

amp..tagal na palang thread to. sakin paturo ka... turo ko sayo kung papano
pumunta bola mo sa tubig :bwahaha:

nung nandyan ako last march, me pinuntahan akong driving range dyan sa QC..limot ko
na name ng place, mura lang yata singil dun. di ko lang alam kung certified sya...
amp...ako di nagpa lesson kaya inabot ako ng 1 yr+mga kalyo sa kamay before i was able to play decently. warning lang sayo... golf is an addicting game.

nasa Sylmar,CA na nga iyang si shockabsorber eh ;)

[niwde11]

silver; driving range on the corner of edsa and q. avenue? kung yun top flite yata yun.

[1D4LV]

if you guys need help, i can help you with your swing.... hehehe.
yun nga lang, di ko kayo matutulungan sa putting.. yun ang waterloo ko eh....
got my latest official handicap (sa Alabang Country Club, which is my home course...)... its a 9. hehehehehe. naka single handicap din after 4 long years....

[niwde11]

Don Camote; no problem. Ok din daw dyan sa CI. Nung ako start, sabi nung friend ko complete session na raw kunin ko. I think talo ka kung per hour in the long run. Marami ka matutunan sa kung isang set na kuha mo. 4 years ago, it was P7,000 for the complete(almost,heheheh) set. 18 sessions to be exact i think(1 session ay isang laro usually with him kaso bayad ka green fee nyo). mas mura pa rin kasi kung minsan pag maganda palo mo tyak 2 hours na di ka pa pagod. kung wala kang kasunod na tuturuan e di aalis yung pro sayo. Merienda lang addl expenses.=) HTH. ano nga pala name instructor mo?
btw, maganda offer ni HG. kaso lang i think with his financial status, baka most expensive filipino instructor sya.lols(joke lang HG).

[DonCamote]

ano nga pala name instructor mo?

Toto Arcillas. He said he's been playing golf since 12yo. He's mid 50s na.

I guess I'll try the long irons pa-unti-unti.

for a first timer, very good kung nakakarating ang 7 iron mo sa 125 to 150.

Swerte lang, malabo pa naman direksyon. I guess it's true what they say that the tennis background helped.

[kimpOy]

donCamote,
ayan pala si Happy Gilmore, under 9 handicap ibig sabihin nag break 80 na yan.
panay par at birdie na yan.

125-150 may ilalayo pa yan kung sa sweet spot mo matamaan, pero ok na yan distance na yan for a 7-iron.

sanayin mo rin ang 5-iron kasi almost ka angle niya ang 1-wood
sanayin mo na yin ang long irons like the 4-iron kasi kung irratic ang woods mo may dependable kang 4-iron off the tee.

nung ako nagpapaturo ang sabi ng PRO ko...
PRO:oist kim may baon akong mansanas dito...
Kim: huh?
PRO: slice ka kasi ng slice eh

eto pa tip...
sanayin mo na rin wag mag gloves...
remember kapag wala kang paltos ibig sabihin correct ang grip mo.
saves you 500 pesos pa di ba.
kapag maulan naman magdala ng surgical gloves. salami silang lahat hahaha.

[kimpOy]

oo mas mahirap kapag nasanayan mo na ang mga bad habits like chicken wing, look up, behind or late, nauuna ang beywang, heel up, wrong weight shift,

isang pang tip,
bili ka ng pocketbook ni Ben Hogan 5 Lessons "The Modern Fundamentals of Golf"
before ernie els, before jack nicklaus... Ben Hogan was the first "big easy" swinger

get your basics here: Grip, Stance, Posture and ofcourse the swing, sa national ko nabili ito.
