I went there to check it out and they wanted like $150 just for the swing analysis and before they'd even begin telling me what was wrong.

I think one major benefit to taking lessons at a place that has a driving range is that you begin to develop a relationship with an instructor and they keep close eyes on you and give you suggestions even when you're out there practicing long after you've had a lesson with them. I think good instructors take pride in seeing their students do well, at least that's what I find at the range I go to.

For the $150 (give or take) you'd get three or four good lessons and will have developed a solid relationship, a relationship which will be strengthened by taking an additional tune up lesson every-so-often when you feel you're beginning to stray.

I had a few lessons with one pro year's ago and every time he’s out practicing on the range he’ll give me a few pointers if he sees that I’m doing something wrong. This summer I'm going to start back with him to tighten up my game; this is the commitment I made to myself for 2005.

Just my 2 cents
