Why Do Golfers Here Ask for Golf Tips?

They are much better off paying for a PGA pro to give them a lesson. Tips don't work as they are too general and they are better off going to a pro. Any thoughts?

doesn’t hurt to ask

why are you asking this question? seriously, why do most people here ask for medical reasoning or golf tips or recipes or anything for that matter?

ConnorWilhem3 @ 3:47 pm #

One reason might be that golfers especially are unwilling to put in the time, work and effort it takes to get better at golf. It’s not an insult. If I was bad at cars and there were all these free “tips” online, I guess I would look.

Another reason might be that golf lessons are quite expensive and can be hit-or-miss. I would say half of the 20 lessons I’ve had were really sales sessions or tease sessions. Getting lessons at golf stores can be a bad idea, especially if the teacher only cares about selling you the latest training aid. Tease sessions are when they claim you have 6 swing flaws and only wants to tell you 2 of them, so you come back for more lessons. Other teachers simply didn’t know what they were doing.

Overall, it’s probably the quick fix urgency that people feel when they’re at the range and nothing seems to be working. I’ve had the shanks for the last six months and felt compelled to look at every free tip on shanks. Finally, I ****** it up and went to a lesson, and paid the $45.

It never hurts to ask. Perhaps others have experienced a similar problem and maybe they have a drill or suggestion that can be taken to the driving range to practice.

I will go along with Mzer and Janfwa answers. Here is a question to you, fatfella1. Which of the two would you pay for, 1) a tip or 2) a golf lesson. thanks…

I agree with you, especially the fade cure questions. They are so general that the answers will not help a bit. Nevertheless, I found some really good question on swing like whether amatuers should use their wrists like pro in their swings.
Some of the swing questions are really interesting though.

I’m guessing that many of the golfers that ask questions are also taking (or have taken) golf lessons. It doesn’t hurt to ask questions and there are many sites with videos and tips that can help – along with taking lessons. This golf school has video, animation and other types of golf tips, yet they still have students enrolled for lessons at their campuses.

First off, people in generally want quick fixes. And anyone asking questions on here is either just started looking for advice or is pretty lazy. Type “golf tips” into google and 1000 sites will come up that are better to look for advice on that this one. Plus they just don’t want to hear “take lessons and in 3 months you’ll get better.” If it doesn’t work in the first 10 minutes they try, it’s not worth the effort.

Secondly, take into account what kind of people are looking on here in general. Half the questions about equipment are “are these clubs any good?” and they’ll post a $150 set of clubs, or they’ll say “what’s a good brand of clubs for cheap?” These are not people with any desire to spend ANY money on golf, let alone hire a PGA pro to teach them to play correctly.

I agree with you. In probably 90% of my answers in the golf section I say… go get a lesson from a pro. We don’t know there swing — they could be describing it wrong.. we could be telling them the wrong thing. Its too hard to give someone tips over the internet when 1/2 the time, they don’t understand what you are telling them to do. So many people just ask a buddy for some tips instead of going and asking someone who does that for a living and making their golf game better. Like my friend had me over, showed me her swing and asked me what she should do to improve it. She thinks I should know because I have two cousins who are PGA Pros and an uncle on Tour. I just wrote down my cousins phone number and told her to call him. It bugs me so much that people try to improve there game by just asking other golfers. Good Question!
- I was reading another answer and recipes are different than fixing a golf swing.
