Golf Instruction near Boston?

I live in Burlington, MA, which is about 20-30 minutes NW of Boston proper. Has anyone had experience with golf instructors around here? Anyone you can recommend/warn about?

I don't have a handicap, but if I did it would be very high. I played off-and-on through high school and didn't play at all other than a few driving range trips during college. I rediscovered the game this summer and have gotten comfortable with my swing again. Now that I have a job and can afford a teacher, I want to get back into it and get better at it.

I don't know of anything in that area, but if nobody replies with help I would suggest simply calling some courses/driving ranges in your area and start asking around.

Don't buy a package deal at first. (They will almost ALWAYS try to get you on this) Try out one lesson with an instructor and get an idea of his attitude towards teaching.

I took my first lesson here and was impressed (it's about 40 minutes from you):

I went with a 1/2 hour for $40 (bucket of balls included). If you are ever going to the Fitchburg/Leominster area, give them a call.

I ended up parlay this into a 3 lesson package which I still have to use.

Maybe give this list a look over, most have instructors:
