That's if your an experienced golfer, it's really hard to suddenly change a swing completely. As a beginner, I would follow what the instructor has to say and then start applying it to the swing. If for some reason, the beginner is unable to do certain movements in the golf swing, then the swing should be based on what the beginner is capable of doing.
After Tiger Woods won the masters about 5 years ago, he changed his swing and in 01, he poured it on. It's just a matter of the level and dedication you want to put yourself through to get to the next level.
Just so others will know, having an instructor is like taking medicine lil by lil. One lesson is about the grip, stance, alignment. Next one would be take away, half swings,... it's a long process but well worth it.

The going rate is usually 30-35.00 for a half hour lesson. Group lessons are alot cheaper because they teach about 5 people along with yourself in 6 sessions for roughly 150-200.00.
Butch Harmon, Tiger's former coach charges 500 an hour.

Good info guys...time to make some calls and see.
We were talking about making it a mini vacation for him by having him get some instruction up in Solvang at the Alisal River course. Maybe give him a couple lessons, green fees and what not. Dunno if this is a nice course but we often eat that the glub restaurant when in town and I think the course looks nice.
Which brings my next question...what courses in LA/OC do you like or would recco a round at?

I play alot at Whittier Narrows in Rosemead and my friend is a great instructor who works there. He charges about 200.00 for 5 lessons of 30-45 mins.

Looks nice B-.
Bro-in-law has had 4 of his lessons and it's been challenging. Not as easy as he thought...I think he needs to get out and play more so the lessons sink in and he feels the difference. Although it could be a ploy to get us to spring for more lessons.
