Find a pro who has your body style (give or take some) as well as your favored pace (fast, slow, medium). Best done by going to the range early and watching as many of them warm up as possible. You will know when the right one is up.

Finding one pro to watch for driving and one for wedges is probably not the best idea. You could develop too many swing images and they could blend, thereby canceling one anothers positives. My suggestion is to stick to one pro if you want a good mental image to stick.

syrinx,

For driving I would check out Tiger Woods.

For chipping I would check out Tiger Woods.

For putting I would check out Tiger Woods.

For long, mid, and short iron work I would check out Tiger Woods.

Just joking. Is Els or Sutton playing? I have watched Els before (pre-tiger) and he is very impressive. What really struck me is how slow the club looked on the downswing. Couples is like that too. Just two examples of perfect club release.

Just try to have fun is my best suggestion. I have been to six tour events and I never really get to see the "action". The best you can hope for is a good spot and some good action to come your way. One year at the open (in the 80's) I followed the Bear. That was fun, but getting a good view was tough on most of the holes.

Hit em soon.
