  1. EVERYTHING BELOW SUMMED UP (For those that dont want to read the entire thing): Where can I get the proper training to be the best golfer I can be and/or possibly make it to the 2016/2022 Olympics? (As explained below, I am willing to train all day, everyday, considering time is not an issue right now for me, and even moving would be an option) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am not an avid poster, but I am an avid reader of this forum and was hoping I could use your guys wisdom on this! This is going to sound insane and such a childish goal, but a recent story gave me hope and whether or not I can make it, I am using it as a long term goal. I want to be apart of the golf exhibition in the 2016/2022 Olympics so bad, and if I can't make that, I am sure prepping as if I could make it would easily prepare me for the pro circuit to say the least! THE STORY THAT INSPIRED ME IN SHORT: On the US Mens Beach Volleyball Team is a man named Gibbs. He picked up V-Ball at the age of 21, never playing before in his life. At 22, he decided to shoot for the Olympics. At 24, he made it to the Olympics in London. This shows me that with dedication, it is possible! THE DETAILS: I have been golfing everyday for the past 2 1/2 months, 3-5 hours a day (played from 6-12 as a kid). I have gone from shooting a 103 to an 80, and progressively getting better, but I feel like I am not getting the proper training by just going out and golfing. Considering the recent Olympics, I have been inspired to practice harder, especially after finding out that golf will be apart of it in 2016. For the past two weeks I have been golfing everyday nothing less than 5 hours. I live on a golf course with a membership, so access to a course is not an issue and time is not an issue, I am free almost the entire day. My thing is is this, and I will use gymnasts as an example. They wake up everyday and go to a gym from 9-5 and practice, and that is what I have been looking for and capable of doing. I have so much time to dedicate to golf, but don't know where to properly designate my practice to. I was looking at golf academy's and golf schools, but people say that is more directed to becoming a golf professional rather than vice versa. I would rather designate my time and money into a swing coach or something similar to however the pros train. My family is 100% behind me on this, but we havent been able to find the right way to approach this. Any ideas of what I can do, where to go, etc.?
