I have been taking lessons from a family friend who is a scratch golfer/instructor. I cannot tell you how helpful it has been to my swing and general approach to the game. I was so surprised at all of the things I was doing wrong, and the bad habits I had gotten into. I just wanted to post this to encourage anyone who has been thinking about taking a lesson to just get out there and do it.

I couldn't agree with you more! I've been teaching for 26 years and I can not tell you how tough it is as an educator to work with golfers that have been working on their swings by themselves, watching the golf channel, golf magazines or friends etc. We all have an overabundence of information as it is and it takes a long time to introduce new positions when there are bad habits. I would suggest to all that golf to have a consistant routine regarding lessons and sticking with ONE teacher and one teacher only.

      Day 86 (26 Jul 25) - Down at the beach place, had kept the clubs with me after playing yesterday.  Spent time this afternoon checking them over and brushing grooves on the wedges and irons.  Spent a few minutes working thru the swing process…working in slo mo through backswing and proper weight shift.

      My Swing (Rodders129)

      By Rodders129 · Posted

      . I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years, 1 year consistently  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 My typical ball flight is: fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: inconsistent ball strike   I caught the bug about a year ago and have been playing roughly once a week. Have been getting better with my short game and putting but my ball striking from tee and fairway lets me down. Had my first lesson last month which identified an over the top swing compensated by an open club face. Have been trying everything to get on plane over the last month. Have found that using a bend and press into my left leg as the trigger for my downswing coupled with finding the turn and rotation in both my arms to release the club properly has helped my get nearer to the correct plane. Video below is where I am with it currently. Haven’t taken this new swing to the course yet! Any comments or suggestions are welcome  Videos:  I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year properly  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 av score

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      That's always been the deal. You put in the work hyper focused on ONE or at most two things, so that you don't have to think about anything except a single feel or the target or something on the course.

      Blind squirrel finds a nut and putted well. no, I decided to play a round being athletic rather than paralyzing myself with swing thoughts. I have no clue if I was doing what I worked on. It was the last day and I was tired of freezing at the top of the swing not know if one of four outcomes were going to happen.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas · Posted

      Day 299 - 2025-07-26 I spent 15 minutes practicing but it was almost pointless. It wasn't good practice. I was not really in it, but I put the time in. Oh, I did some chipping work before-hand, and that was good. I could have just left after that. 🙂
