While many of you who enjoy golfing at Smith Mountain Lake are pro’s, there are still many of us who fall in the amateur category. So I got to thinking about where we amateurs could go to get some free tips to improve our game.

It never ceases to amaze me how frequently I forget to use the internet to find things. As many years as I’ve been using the net and as many things as I have found to be lifesavers there, I still don’t always think to look there first. Needless to say I have found some great sites that give free golf lessons, videos and the whole nine. Here are just a few of the ones that looked helpful to me. You may be able to find even more on your own.
