It’s hard to tell right away but make sure your instructor is interested in helping you and your goals. Lots of pros can instruct you on what to do and do swing analysis. The person that I use I consider a coach and a friend. He cares how I am doing, he’s ok with a question or email outside of billed time etc.
Some people just don’t click well too. I’m kind of quiet and analytical as a person but my golf swing and playing is more done with feel. It took me 4 people before I settled in with the coach I have now. So it may take a few people and seeing their styles of teaching and coaching before you settle on one. Regardless, I applaud the investment in learning the game. Funny how much some people invest in equipment but never get any better or any more enjoyment from the game. Good luck!
