  That seems weird. I haven’t taken skiing lessons in years but I certainly took them, as many friends did, long after the time there would have been any chance of pro. And I find it hard to believe tennis is much different. Lots of people take lessons who don’t have personal coaches in many sports.

    I think people give skiing lessons a pass because you can break your neck if you make a mistake on the hill. You're a lot less likely to die while playing tennis.

      Downhill skiing isn't really dangerous although you may fall a lot. We're not talking skydiving which you probably want some instruction with. I've taken lessons for skiing but to improve technique and enjoy the sport more, never because I was concerned about safety. Country Clubs and other places where people play sports like tennis and golf have regular lessons. It's not at all unusual for casual players. I'd add that I'm an instructor/leader for hiking courses with a local club that gets a few hundred people in programs in a typical year.

  Damn, you might want to not hang around that kind of negativity. Talk about a wet blanket.
