In an attempt to better my game I have read numerous books, magazines and web threads. Amongst other advice is often the suggestion to play the shot that you are hitting on a particular day rather than struggle with your own swing mechanics. What do you think causes the variations in shot shape or quaility the most from one day to another? If there is something at all to this piece of advice, then there may be one thing that can change daily more than others. I know the question is very subjective as there are many different swings out there. But, what is likely to cause a player who was hitting mostly straight on Tuesday to faulter another day in the same week.

If anyone knew the answer to that question, they'd be a millionaire many times over and the ultimate golf guru.

The most difficult distance in golf is the six inches between your ears.

Realize that hitting the ball straight should not be the goal of the golfer. The best way to play is to curve the ball left or right, with a push draw or push fade.

Each swing has lots of moving parts. Getting them all moving when they should, how they should, and consistently is not easy. If it was easy, we'd do it. Heck, it isn't easy to get the non-moving parts of the swing correct every time.

So, our swing changes could be anything from static things you'd think we could repeat like grip and set up, to exactly how and when you start your hip turn.

One thing I really try to do is get the static things correct. Not easy. I've been to a number of schools with the same instructor (great BTW). They really focus on the correct grip and setup. By the end of the school, with the help of aids and hands on teaching, most of us have the grip correct on our own when we grab a club. At the start of each alumni school, 9 of 10 students need some grip adjustment. You hear pros talking about working on their grips. I think I heard that last weekend Tiger was working on his putting grip and attributed some of his putting woes to an incorrect grip. Should be easy to get correct every time, but it is not easy to have the EXACT same grip on Tuesday and Thursday. Now imagine timing your hip and shoulder turns.

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.

      Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm.
