If you are looking for swing advice, here it is:

Book a lesson at golf galaxy. They have video analysis for $30 a lesson.

I saw a pro with a great track record, named top pro in the state a while ago, but it just messed me up.

One lesson @ GG and it already helped. The pro @ GG said he likes it there better becuase it's inside, benefits and year round. The thing he liked the best was that its easy to teach when the student can see themselves.

I made another lesson as soon as I got home. Also they send you the video to your email address.

THUMB UP!

I've had about 5-6 lessons at Golf Galaxy and I can say it really depends on who you have for lessons. My local store went through 3 different pros while I was taking lessons.

The first guy was awesome. I had 2 lessons with him and he did wonders for my game. Then he moved on to managerial duties and they brought in the pro from the other GG here in town. She did absolutely nothing for me. She had me exaggerating movements to "get a feel for it" and all it led to was exaggerating my swing movements on the course. Then they got this latest guy who wanted to start from the ground up. I already had been doing pretty well and I went in to have a specific problem fixed and he wanted to re-work everything.

So, my experience with them has been a little tarnished lately. I really wish the original guy was teaching. I'd probably still be taking lessons. I've thought about asking him if he'd be interested in teaching me on the side, but I haven't really thought of a good way to approach it.

Just tell him what you just told us. Go up to him and ask him. What's the worst thing he can say? "No?". If he helped your game, then it's worth the effort to ask.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
