Should i get lessons ? pls hlp

Hi ive been golfin for about 2 or 3 motnhs and really enjoy it
i had gone to the range every once in a while all my life but just this summer break started really golfin
ive played with my highschools golf coach and he said i could probably make the team if i could be more consistant
i go to the range and seem to do terrible but dont do too bad at the course
i dont know if im just taking my time more at the course or if its the mats and the range or what
but i have heard so much about " dont practice a flawed swing " and this makes sense
so what im askin is
should i get a few lessons to fix my swing and gimme a foundation to stand on
or should i just keep what im doin and put in some more practice at the range ?
sorry for the terrible terrible grammar but im in a huge hurry
thanks alot

Yes you should come see one of us. A trained professional will get you started in the right direction and although we can't 100% prevent you from getting bad habits, you will be much better off.

Definately take lessons. I am not sure about taking 4 lessons at once. I had a friend take 5 consecutive lessons and when you see him play it is as though he hasn't taken any lessons. I remember Vijay Singh saying something like take one lesson, practice, practice, practice, then after some time take another lesson.

I payed $50 for my first lesson (1 Hour), and it came with a video tape of my swing.

That price seems pretty good to me. Is it a group lesson? So long as the group isn't too large, group lessons can be very good, too. One piece of advice, though, is to come home and try to write down as much as you can remember as soon as possible. Because you don't want to just let all that advice you paid for disappear. Even take what you've written down and go back to the instructor to make sure it is right. Write down the drills they suggest, how to do the drills and what they are supposed teach you and what they are supposed to feel like when you do them correctly.

Lessons really are the fastest way to improve; you need solid fundamentals to build on. And, despite what you think you are doing, an outside observer can tell you what you are really doing.

Yes definately, 2 to 3 motnhs isn't long there could be some really basic flaws in your swing that could easily be fixed by a pro.
