My name is Steve Bean. I run a number of golf schools that offer very affordable pricing on golf instruction packages. I offer one hour golf lessons for $60 a day. If a student purchases 3 or 5 they get a get a discount of pricing. I have been teaching for more than 40 years.
Instead of thinking about price, make sure the instructor you pick has years of experience, uses video, training aids and include on course playing lessons in your package. Also check their customer comments. Do your homework. |
