looking to finally break down and start "trying" to play. Any recommendations re: lessons for my son and me?

other than that, some friends took lessons and got filmed. It really helped them see the 'mistakes' they were doing.

Make sure you take enough lessons in the beginning; You don't want to practice a bad swing. Also, be patient. If you go out too early, you'll get frustrated and give up.

Last round at Pendleton in Caroline County was a 82. What say you now Rob?

better instructor. Starting off with instruction should help prevent you from learningbad habits. I would also start with a set of used clubs just to get things going. Its a frustrating game at times but it can be quite fun with the right people even if you are playing bad. Beer helps too. :P

$99 for 4 30min sessions, video analysis, club fitting (I think?)

...and I'm still terrible. :)

We can go by the SP range one day after work...I have a great toe to tee off of. :P

much as you take lessons ie. take a lesson on monday, hit balls 5 times or so after that. then take your next lesson.

Lessons are going to be pointless if you don't practice.

it will take a lot of commitment to be decent.
