The importance of taking lessons

The famous saying "Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect" definitely applies in golf. It is often hard to notice what you are doing wrong without a trained pair of eyes watching what exactly you are doing. What it feels like and what it actually is can be quite different. What everyone should do is take lessons as soon as they think they will enjoy the game. The earlier you take lessons, the earlier you can start swinging the club more naturally and the sooner you can enjoy the game!
