Want to encourage folks to join a club or find an instructor - call them stupid and ignorant. Yeah, that's the ticket. I get the fact that the best way to do this is to find an instructor - not a difficult concept. Just some seem to think that active clubs with instructors are around every corner. Key word here is "active". I'm planning on joining a club and working with an instructor, but I will probably have to drive 120 miles round trip to the club field. AMA and club dues + cost of the trainer and associated equipment + consumable supplies and misc. costs + a high gas bill + 2 hours on the road each trip = a major commitment on my part and probably a major road block for others in my same situation. Yeah I know, don't start if you can't make the full commitment, but I can see why some try it on their own first.
