Learning to play golf the proper way leads to a more enjoyable experience every time you tee it up. Unlike going to the dentist, going to your PGA or LPGA Professional for a lesson is a rewarding experience that can be shared over and over again. Teaching has always been an integral part of The PGA's mission, and its members remain the game's experts and leaders. Today, PGA Professionals teach everybody how to play golf: juniors, seniors, high handicappers -- and they can teach you, too. Click here for more information.
