1676.0. "Need a good pro in So. New Hampshire." by EPIK::DEFELICE () Tue Apr 20 1993 14:21

    I've taken a couple of lessons this Spring from a pro in So. New
    Hampshire.  I'm not entirely happy with his approach and wondered if
    there is anyone in this area that someone might be able to recommend. 
    
    I'm an average golfer looking to resolve one particular problem with my
    swing.  That is what I would wish to focus upon first.
    
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

1676.1Teaching ProASDS::ELLIOTTWed Apr 21 1993 01:0913
    My husband, Michael Elliott, is an excellent pro.  I'm not just
    saying that because he is my husband.  He taught me to play starting
    last year and I had a 42 in December.  I've been in the low 90's and
    I owe it all to him.  He has people coming from 2 hours to take lessons
    from him.  He will be trying out for the PGA tour this year after a
    very successful winter season in Florida.  
    
    The only problem is that he teaches in Sterling.  Is that too far
    out of the way for you?  
    
    If you want any other information, let me know.

1676.2So. NH Golf ProRUSURE::FORSTERWed Apr 28 1993 19:137
    
    If your still looking for a pro in So. NH you might want to call
    Ponemah Green in Amherst NH #672-4732 and ask for Matt he is with
    Exceller Programs and is here for the golf season.  They are offering
    a 10% discount for Digital employees.
    
    Hope this helps!
1676.3What's a one-hour private lesson cost?EPIK::DEFELICEWed Apr 28 1993 20:2411
    Thanks for the info. but I have found someone who works very well for
    me.  I did call Ponemah and Amherst CC earlier and left 3 detailed
    messages for Ted Bishop who is the pro there.  I was a bit ticked when
    he never returned my calls.
    
    Also, Ponemah is asking $48 for a 1 hour private.   My lessons have
    cost me CONSIDERABLY less than that and have helped greatly, although I
    would have paid a much higher price to solve my problem.  I'm sure
    prices vary a great deal but wondered what the average might me. 
    
    Anyone have any ideas?

    $20-$25 per half hour. $30 tops.

Would you care to share with us who you found? Or is that too much
free advertising for this notes file?

Thanks in advance.

1676.6Help on beginner recommendationsCHRLIE::HUSTONTue Jun 01 1993 19:1825
    
    I am thinking of giving a present of golf lessons to my wife, she
    has played, but has alot of problems getting the ball in the
    air. 
    
    The lesson would have to be in S. NH and the instructor would have
    to be patient and not expect miracles. Someone who understands the 
    problems of a beginer.
    
    Can anyone recommend anyone from teh following, keep in mind that 
    this is for a beginner who simply wants to consistently get the
    ball in the air and hit drives around 75-100 yds.
    
    Anyone ever use someone from:
    
    Green Meadows (course or range)
    Overlook
    Passaconoway
    Amherst
    Ponehma (sorry but $48 is steep)
    Buckmeadow
    Any other range/course withing 30 minutes or so of Nashua

1676.7Try Monique at Green MeadowDATABS::PALPaul Lemaire, DEC Object/DBWed Jun 02 1993 16:518
    Bob,
       Green Meadow has a woman teacher on their staff, Monique Lemaire.
    Aside from the fact that she is my second cousin, I think you will find
    that she fits your requirements to a tee.  I have played golf with her;
    her game is built on sound fundamentals and consistency and she teaches
    the same way.
