Re: Newbie at golf and comp

Hello TeachingPro
Thank you for the awesome info, I know where Albert Park Golf is 15 mins drive max.
Melbourne Golf Academy is about 45 mins but if they are good (then my foundation of the game is solid so) I don't mind travelling.
My next questions are How long should I see the Teaching pro prior to playing and how frequent?

They're on Aughtie Drive, Albert Park and the number I had for them when I practiced there was 013 96964653.
If you're looking for a good teaching pro, I'd recommend anyone of the teachers at the Melbourne Golf Academy. They in Centre Dandenong Road in Heatherton near to Moorabin airport. They also have a shop but to be honest, I thought they were a 'bit too slick'... The whole MGA Centre is seriously impressive!

One final word: watch out for internet purchases. I'm not saying they're bad, in fact most of them a fantastic but you can't see or feel what you buy until they arrive. If you're buying something you've seen, then great ... if not just be careful to make sure you're buying the correct thing.
