407.0. "Place for winter lessons?" by BPOV04::MACKINNON () Thu Sep 29 1988 18:03

    
    
    I'm looking for a place to learn how to play this winter.
    I was thinking about going to the Bahamas or maybe Florida.
    The golf schools are pretty expensive for a week.
    Has anyone done anything like this?  IF so where did you go
    and what type of instruction did you recieve?
    
    Also someone mentioned taking lessons at an indoor driving range.
    Where are they and again has anyone done this?

407.1"ADVICE FROM AN AULD GOLFER"OURVAX::GLASSThu Sep 29 1988 18:4418
    Hi,
    The pro at Framingham Country Club holds a great indoor school just
    off RT495. He is a very good instructor, keeps good equipment and
    has some successful pupils in the local area.
    
    His school is very cost effective and a fine way to stay in shape
    in the off season.
    
    Also, Jack Gale does the same thing in Worcester and Shrewsbury.
    He lives in Worcester and is a pro at one of the local/private clubs.
    
    My advise is to start with local lessons and then refine your game
    with one of the more esoteric courses such as offered in the resort
    areas. In that way, you maximize your investment and minimize total
    costs.
    
    Enjoy!
    Tom
407.2A Helping HandIAMOK::OCONNORMon Oct 03 1988 12:508
    Michele, to help out I would be willing to spend some time with
    you for a "blackboard" session. This would entail explaining some
    of the physics of golf, cause and effect, and some of the more
    important concepts of the swing itself. This should reduce any 
    confusion and misunderstanding that you may have and will increase
    the chances of developing a solid golf swing. Let me know.

407.3Winter Instruction in NatickOAXCEL::GRIFFINThu Nov 08 1990 12:369
    Dave Heuser, Head Pro at the Wayland Country Club, will be 
    offerring instruction this winter at the Natick Sports Club; I think 
    he's starting this week. The nets are up!  The NSC is just off 
    Oak Street, about halfway between Route 30 and Route 9.
    
    FYI,
