such a shame ! To do so well when all of those miniature golf courses are closing for the winter. But don't worry- spring is just around the corner- those windmills will be spinning and those little brooks will be gurgling before you know it! LOL

If you want to get really good at it in a short amount of time, lessons are always helpful. Maybe you just need help with your swing or whatever and a pro will be able to tell that by watching you. It's cool you're shooting in the 80's for a beginner, but wouldn't you love to "par the course"?

Shooting 80's after playing for 7 months, in a year you can starting giving lessons. Great job!

Surely you should take lessons if you can affort. The main idea is that you want to do thing correctly. Not after a year or two then you realise that I should have done a different and better way then if you choose to do so, that means you start from beginning. I am not saying that you do thing wrong.
On the ohter hand if you feel like nothing you need to improve then don't take lessons.

Lessons are the most important purchase that you can make when learning how to play golf or improve. Plus, they are usually fairly cheap. A set up lessons is a good way to go when starting out.

Lessons will never hurt unless you go to a worthless teacher. if you are able to shoot that good you either have natural talent or you just haven't got the bad habits yet. Me myself I am a naturally talented individual. I practice once every couple of weeks and currently a scratch golfer.

The problem that I have with lessons is that most instructors provide a cookie cutter approach and believe that everyone should have the same swing. It possible that an instructor would try to get you to change your swing, which could end up being bad for your game.
I'd look for a swing coach, someone who can help you to improve your current swing and help you with scoring, instead of wanting you to change everything about your swing.

practice makes perfect, but do not practice mistakes.for example if you have a slice and you do not know how to cure it . then i would suggest that you seek help.
I myself am a 8 hcp and I know how to play the ball different ways. I read a lot of books and as I said practice makes perfect.
so if you still don't know why this and that is happening go to the expert.they will be able to see straight away what a certain fault maybe.The first thing that they may say is to change your grip this may seem very strange at first but stick with it, you will be rewarded if you do.

Since you have not taken lessons, your swing might not be very conventional, but it is definitely working well. You should definitely get some lessons, but don't lest the instructor completely change your swing. I let one completely change my swing about two years ago, and I'm just getting back to playing as well as I used to. Not everyone's swing is exactly alike. Let the instructor change parts of your swing, but only to improve your unique swing. If its not broke, don't fix it, but do improve it.
