If you take or have taken lessons, what was it that got you in the door?

The first guy I took lessons from ran inexpensive group clinics for the local kids. He ends up giving lessons to a lot of those kid's parents and for the kids that stuck with golf, he taught them all the way through high school and on.

Although there are exceptions with some of the TGM instructors I've met, the teacher being able to demonstrate is a big deal to me. It tells me they not only have a conceptual knowledge of the alignments, but they also have personal experience and feels to draw upon when trying to change a student's motion.

After the first lessons I had (which were not good) and discovering TGM, I wouldn't take a lesson from anybody who wasn't recommended by somebody I trust.
