PhatmonB6 will become famous soon enough
Look at it this way you, you would not go see the local golf pro for a quick swing fix if you already strike the ball pretty decent. In other words, Do not go to the lesson with the attitude that you have to perform as well as your instructor, or atleast keep up with him or her. Just be yourself let the mistakes happen, dont try to force yourself to prove yourself. I took a lesson from Manny and he told me to bring a thick skin, and be ready for some positive criticism. Believe me playing with Manny was like putting a Yugo (not running) against a Lamborgini Diablo. That is not the point though, it is to see were you are at with your playing and to have somebody at a profesional level listen and help you were it is needed. Just relax be yourself and perhaps you can post on how the lesson went.
