Mitchell Spearman told me personally today that i need to rewind...go back to drill 2 before i work on my full swing. I've been losing so much balance in my downswing it's stupid and a simple little checkup by a top 100 pro just made me realize :

"Before you can advance, you must first master the reverse."

Makes sense to me...now!

Can you explain in simpler terms? Not really understanding what you are saying.

kinda scratched my head as well.

if you want to advance in skill, you should go over the fundamentals again and really nail those down.

i tried moving way too fast, going from 0-60 before i was ready. I need to go back to the beginning if i really want to improve.

I've recently realized this myself. Just wish it didn't take so long to bang it through my thick skull!!

Soooo true....god, I went through a spell where I was hitting a 20 foot draw with everyting from a 8 iron down.....couldn't hit a pin on the right of the green without starting it over trouble....I have spent the last two weeks working on getting a good feeling with a weaker grip...... Just a crazy fukkin game.

    • 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?
