Do you play golf? Have you ever taken lessons?

There are two ways to take lessons, you can join a class of 6-10 people or pay for some one on one time with the club pro.

If you join a class you will pay a much smaller fee, say $50 for a days course. Your teacher may or may not be the club pro and you will learn a lot of the basics which will improve your game. The teacher will be showing you some general basics that will help everyone and offer some pointers you can use to work on later on your own time.

You can hire the club pro and pay $120 an hour and get specific pointers and lessons that will improve your posture, grip, swing and other specifics that could really accelerate your game and improve your score at the end of each round. You have their undivided attention and everything will be specific to you and your personal game.

If you are new to the game of golf the group lessons would be a great way to get the basics and learn the rules of the game. To learn why you should use what driver where. If you have been playing golf for a while the group lessons will feel redundant and you wont feel like you have gotten your moneys worth at all.

You can look online or find a guy on the course that would be happy to show you the ropes for a small fee. You might trust this guy, after all, he has a full set of clubs, a membership and even the little hat with the knit ball on top. Would you trust this guy to really know what it takes to be good at the game of golf?

A DJ is very similar. You can hire a DJ company that has a lot of DJs, you will pay a cheaper price but you won’t get more than an average performance. You won’t get the kind of individual performance you will get from the professional.

You can look in the paper and find someone who says they are a DJ. They have the equipment and they say the right things, but you have no idea if they are a professional or not.

What about the Golf Club Pro? The guy who will charge the most for individual lessons? You know he is a professional because he has proven himself and shown he is a pro to the club, he has the documentation that he has taken the time to learn and improve his own skills and he will teach you what he knows to improve your game.

A professional DJ will also have these things. They will have all their licenses and insurance to show they are committed to their trade, spent the money and made the investment to learn their trade. They will work with you from start to finish to make your event a complete success with years of experience, ideas and suggestions to make your ideas work and share some of their own to help you avoid any of the potential pit falls. You will feel comfortable with a contract and have met them in person, seen some reviews.

Anyone with a golf bag can claim to be a pro, just like anyone with some sound equipment can claim to be a DJ. There art many charlatans. How many home improvement T.V. shows are about a professional coming in to fix the work of someone who was less than professional? How many shows are about people being ripped off by people claiming to be something they are not?

Unlike the T.V. shows on home improvements or even taking golf lessons, there is no do over on your wedding or special event. These are a one shot event, it needs to be done right the first time with the best people and professionals assisting you to make it happen or you might be left with a very memorable event, the one no one else wants to ever see repeated and you will forever wish you spent the time and money on the professionals rather than the goofy guy you met on the course with little hat with the cotton ball on top.
