It's Hackett Out Golf Podcast Time. We're talking best practices for taking lessons. It's early in the year.

You might want him to be taking some lessons. You might be listening to this another time of the year and thinking, oh, I'm going to take some lessons. How do you get your money's worth? Because they're not cheap. They're expensive. How can you get the most out of your lessons? Lou and Greg, welcome. You both take lessons still now now and I'm sure you have certain mindsets of

what you want the lesson to be like and what you want to take from it and what you might need

to do once you've been told something. I'm guessing. How are you doing both?

Take a ton of lessons in my life and it's changed over the years by both from what I need from the coach

and how I go about it. So interesting to chat about this.

And Lou, you're having, are you still having your online lessons or are you a bit busy at

the minute or are you still working with a person online? Yeah, I still work through some

occasional things with Jason Geesebrecht who we had on the podcast last year,

which is awesome. And in my journey, there's another instructor that I've chatted with occasionally.

I don't know that I'll mention his name, but I'm still working very hard. I've been very busy

the last few months, so I haven't swung to as much as I would

like. But golf season is just about here, so I will be getting back into it here in the next few weeks.

Yeah. Okay. So let's talk about some best practices for people to get the most out of their lessons,

because they're not cheap. And I've talked for years, and you definitely see different kinds of people coming through your lesson T

that you think, oh, this is going to work.

And then others you think, this is how you approach this.

I'm not sure I can make you better because when it comes to lessons, you still need to be doing the work yourself.

In effect, someone's trying to give you some better

tools. You've still got to then go and learn how to use them often is the way I think about it.

First one, I like my lessons to come with. It is an open mind. I'm sure both of you have

always gone into your lessons with relatively open minds. Is that fair?
