Take Swing Lessons or Work on Skills?

from Hack It Out Golf

In recent years, a number of golf coaches have made the case that golf improvement doesn't always mean an intent to change your swing. In this episode, Mark and Lou tackle a listener question about balance: when should I focus on a swing change vs taking my current swing and focusing on skill development? Here, the perspectives of a veteran coach and an avid amateur combine to give advice for real-life golf improvement.
