It depends on what you paid for. If you pay for beginner course, the pro will only teach fundamental and basics. If you go for intermediate, the pro will probably see your problem then help you rectify and teach you some new tricks. If you go for advance, the pro will probably tell you their secrets.

Golf is a life long learning process, even like the touring pros, they are getting couches to fine tune their swings. There is no such thing as pay one time and you get to learn everything.

Golf swing is not a natural action for human body. It is a combination of co-ordinated actions which requires precision and good timing to hit the ball sweet and far. You need a lot of practices to get these co-ordinated actions to work properly. Of course, with a good fundamental from a good PRO, you will probably get the good swing faster. Getting a pro to look at your swing periodically(3-6 months) will definitely help you improve faster.

As a lot of pros are saying "You need to find your own swing"... As each and everyone of us are genetically built differently, certain actions may give different results.

You may learn from websites, but you still need someone to tell you if you learnt correctly and that's where a coach would come in.

Happy golfing!!

woah.. commemorating 10 glorious yrs of one leg kicking

agree sometimes.. beginners learn from schools that differs from the swing best suited to them

Come to think of it, I only got a coach for my beginner lessons. After that, it was all self reading and experimenting which explains why my game is still so bad. I am also having trouble find the spot.
