Hello all, my name is Dan I am 34 years young, and I've been playing golf for about 11 months now. I've scored an 81 (my best so far) and this year my goal is to break 80, but......

Recently a buddy of mine videoed my swing and, welpppp let’s just say, I have an ugly swing with lots of fixing to be made.  I met with a coach, and he is getting me squared away, but I can only afford him 2 times out of the month, so I need to get some knowledge elsewhere while working on the things he prescribed me with, hence I came across TST. I'm can't wait to fix my, Reverse pivot crap, flippy hands, goat humping and the list continues. I know I know, patience is a virtue.

 

I'm currently at work, hence I haven't even set up my pic and all that.

 

EDIT: I guess google accounts automatically put the pic on here.

We don’t bash. None of us have perfect swings. We all want to get better.

Hey there, I am from Tampa Florida. Yes indeed, I find this site to be super informative.

2x a month is fine for a new player.  You'll need the time in between to hit enough balls to ingrain what he teaches you.

You'll be best off reading instruction for entertainment value only.  Work on what he is teaching and nothing else.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
