What is the beneffit to get lesson from famous golf school?

There are many famous golf school like butch harmon, david leadbetter, dave pelz, etc... which will cost thousand for the 2-4 days school.



Meanwhile, they are many good teachers and get private lesson from them and cost much lower.



So, what is the real benefit to get lesson from famous golf schoolWhat is the beneffit to get lesson from famous golf school?Most of the people who go to these types of schools do it for the experience rather than the value. They go to say "I went to Dave Pelz's school." It's kind of like those baseball fantasy camps where a bunch of Hall of Fame players "teach" you to play better, but you're really going for the experience of getting to rub elbows with the guys running the thing.



If you're looking for the best value to improve your game, find a local private instructor and get long term lessons so that he can continually help you improve rather than a 2 day clinic from a bunch of people you'll never see again.What is the beneffit to get lesson from famous golf school?
Those guys charge so much because they are the teachers of the pros. But it doesn't necessarily make them better. Just more famous.



BTW, many of these guys don't charge the pros for lessons. Harmon, for example, works for free -- if you're a pro. He then leverages his connection with the pros into endorsement fees for products, and the high rates he charges everyone else.What is the beneffit to get lesson from famous golf school?If you are shooting in the low 70s, then they will perfect your game.

If you are in the high 90s, private lessons are fine.What is the beneffit to get lesson from famous golf school?
The biggest benefit is that you can brag to your friends that you paid thousand for top notch instruction from someone who is a good self promoter. It doesn't mean your game will improve in proportion to what you spend.What is the beneffit to get lesson from famous golf school?Let me add that if you go to the school, you are not being taught by Butch Harmon himself or David Leadbetter himself. You are being taught by PGA/LPGA teaching professional, just like at your local club. The only difference is that they have been trained in the famous golf school method.



I agree with the others -- the only real benefit is bragging rights.
