The Wrong Friendly Advice

photo credit: by and by   Every beginner is trying hard to play better, therefore, they always have an “open ear” to any king of advice they are given.  Golfing friends are generous with tips about the game.  Now you have a very poor learning environment.  A willing listener and a friend who’s well intended to give the wrong advice.

There are many ways members in you playing group can help you.  They can give you tips about etiquette but are they qualified to analyze your swing?  Most likely, they are not and that is why lessons are so important in the beginning.  The wrong advice can get you into a habit that can be extremely difficult to break, it can also make your instructors job that much harder.”
