If you are a kinesthetic or feel learner, you would be better matched with an instructor who uses metaphors and images of how the swing should feel. The instructor might put you in the proper position or use drills and training aids to create the proper feel. Keep good records of your golf instruction You can't remember everything you were taught in a lesson. If your teacher doesn't provide a visual, auditory or written record of each lesson, ask if you can record the lesson with an audio or video recorder. Come to the lesson with an open mind, ready to listen.
Feedback is very important.
Your instructor is one source of external feedback but can't be by your side during every swing. It's up to you to determine if you are making the correct swing when you practice. For learning to occur, you need both intrinsic and extrinsic forms of feedback. Extrinsic feedback is seeing yourself on video or swinging in front of a mirror. Training aids are important to learning because the feel of your golf swing can be deceptive.
