Many of us might assume that there isn't too much debate about the characteristics of a good match player. Clearly, the ability to play your game in the best or worst of conditions better or worse can be useful, conversely we know that bad match players are people easily put off their game or cannot perform when they need to most.

If that is all there was to match play than your local course would be overflowing with excellent match players. I must confess, there is a great deal more in match play than there appears to be.

What to Look for when Hiring a Golf Instructor
When it comes to hiring a golf instructor for lessons or when investigating golf schools you should spend time looking for the one that is right for you. There are certain steps you can take to help you in your search for a golf instructor.
The first thing you want to determine is what your budget is to pay your golf instructor. It is also important to decide what it is that you’re looking to improve. Do you just want to improve on your golf swing, or are you looking to totally re-establish your swing? Some golf teachers may be better at one than the other, it is important that you find out where their strengths lay. Recommendations and word of mouth go a long way. Ask around, see who has used golf instructors before and see whom they suggest you go with. If your friends do not have personal experience with an instructor, they may know someone who has, or your local club may be able to refer someone to you.
Do not go with the first instructor that you come across. Narrow a list down to around five possible golf instructors and then review their qualifications. Since you will be paying good money for their service, feel free to investigate. Find out places they have taught before and call their employers for references and ask about their teaching techniques.
When you have decided on someone, set up an interview. This can be done on the phone or face-to-face. Have a list ready of questions that are important to you for them to answer. This will also be a good opportunity for you to discover their personality and decided if it will work well with yours.
A benefit in hiring a pro is that your exact golf weaknesses are addressed. Once he has identified your problem areas, your coach will be able to recommend exercises to correct your issues and work with you until you get them right.
Your golf coach should be able to teach you techniques that will help you avoid undo injuries while you are learning to play the game. They should also be able to provide you with a helpful warm up routine that you can start out with before you step onto the golf course.
You want to make sure that the pro you hire does not offer you a quick fix. You want to hire a pro that will take the time to work with you properly, building on the basics of golf, not a fad method. It may take you longer to learn, or improve on your game; however, the end results will be ongoing.
If you find the cost of one-on-one lessons too expensive, you could opt to split the cost among a group and all learn together. Ideally though, there should be no more than four students to a coach. That way, even though your costs are cut down, you will still be able to receive individual instruction from the golf pro.
You should always go for quality over quantity when working with your pro. It is far more advisable to excel at a few golf techniques, than it is to learn many, but none of them very well.
Always bear in mind that one of the main points behind hiring a pro, is so that in the long run, you will be able to play well without having them there to guide you. That means being able to properly do your own warm-up and stretching routine as well, not just playing the game.
Although working with a pro can be helpful at any time, there are three times in a golfer's career where lessons from an educated professional can be even more worthwhile and helpful. The first situation would be when a person is initially attempting to learn the game of golf. The next time using a pro would be helpful is when the typical player begins to notice a decline in his game and cannot figure out why. Even when you are playing above average, a pro can come in handy if you are looking to improve your skills or move on to an even higher level of playing.
Once you are ready to part ways with your trainer, it is still a good idea to keep in touch periodically. About once a year or so, you should get together with your pro and see if they have any advice or tips to offer you on improving your game.
