"Honestly, trying golf on the course for the first time was quite a different experience, but Chris made it manageable. The lesson definitely highlighted what I need to work on, especially driver control, though I still find myself a bit inconsistent with my long shots. Still, it's encouraging to see progress on the course itself, and I think a few more focused practice on the driving range could really help tighten up my game. Overall, Chris's approach feels solid and practical. I might just need some more time to get everything fully together. Wouldn't mind seeing how my game evolves with a few more lessons like this.
