"Having been a better than average athlete and starting golf at the age of 45, I expected golf to be similar to every other sport. Having excellent hand/eye coordination and innate athletic abilities, I should be playing bogey golf within a year and a 12 handicapper by age 50. I am sure you have guessed the outcome of that game plan already.
I became very frustrated, very quickly and could never achieve anywhere near the lofty goals I previously envisioned. At age 57,during August of '07, I enrolled in a Natural Golf school taught by Jim Lahey. I have since been following that initiation with regular lessons.
Simply stated, I have never enjoyed golf as much as I do now. Not because of lower scores, although they are a derivative, but more importantly, confidence. Confidence, that after a poor shot, I can execute a shot that will set the sail straight. That ability and confidence changes everything.
Jim has been instrumental in that aspect, and demonstrates the communication skills, knowledge and patience necessary for any teacher, and is an outstanding ambassador for Natural Golf.
