Questions To Ask The Prospective Golf Instructor
I am looking to work with a instructor. There are many pros in my area but I don’t really know anyone personally.

Can you recommend questions I should ask to see which pro will be the best to work with?

1. Are you a PGA Class A member?
2. What are your rates?
3. What is your availability like?
4. Which facilities can you work out of?
5. These are my goals. Can you help me reach them?

That should get you started.

After asking their credentials and rates then ask if all people should swing the same. If they answer in a way that showes that they know that the swing can be custom fit to the persons frame and physical strengths then they would be a great person to work with.

The reason I say this is:

"A Good Teacher has a Method and a great Teacher has Many"
