It's possible to spend money on the resources available to help develop a good swing. But the swing itself can only come from dedication and proper practice.

Of all the items you listed, only lessons can help your swing. Everything else is superfluous. Just because you can buy tap shoes doesn't make you Fred Astaire.

Ragontona pretty much summed up my thoughts as well. Lessons can only take you so far, the rest is up to you. Improvement comes from practice and dedication to the game.

I see so many people at the range who have all the latest and greatest in golg equipment, but they cant make a proper swing to save their lives.

I would say yes by find out what your doing wrong, try to fix it and then practice practice, practice. Your swing is different then everyone elses, you need to find what works the best for you. Make sure those lessons are not changing your whole swing unless you really have bad mechanics.

My dad was a club pro & I saw him play with rental ladies clubs and shoot 75. He said the swing is the thing,do not expect the tools to do the work. Just wondering what others think. OK

I think you're pulling all of our chains, and I'm getting tired of it. A guy with an 8 index doesn't ask these questions.

I barely wanted to post a reply to this thread, but did, and was hoping that would put an end to it. Apparently, it didn't work.

      Record 35 Under Par for First Contest of the Year

      By p1n9183 ·

      Par is just a guideline, a reference for a hole or a course. At the end of the tournament the player that took less strokes to hole out is the winner, no matter how much it is against the Par of the course.  35 under par is not desirable? then change a few holes par.. make all reachable par 5's as par 4's.  Every hole below 350 is a par 3.. This will make those 7200 courses play "harder" with a par of 66..67.  (Ridiculous, let's just appreciate the amazing game this players have).

      By turtleback ·

      Didn't Mike Souchak (and possibly others as I'm just going by memory, but I'm pretty sure Souchak was first) shoot a 257 years ago?  It wasn't on a par 73, so it wasn't 35 under, but still.

      Been Wondering About This Ruling for Years

      Sounds like you're trying to prune gorse.  Seems as if gorse can actually throw its needles at anyone nearby!

      Been Wondering About This Ruling for Years

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      BTW - The bush was ugly.  Anyway, in an attempt to add some clarity the ball was under some of the branches of the bush. But the bush was shaped in such a way where a left handed player could have played the shot without hitting any of the branches. A right handed player would have no chance. Thus my buddy/opponent I think was "reasonable" in addressing the ball with a flipped over 7 iron as he could have hit it lefty. .... There was, however, no guarantee that he would get good results as I've actually never seen him try to hit a ball in that manor in all the years I've played with him.
