Any breakthrough experience?

[acegolfer]

First, have you ever experienced a breakthrough in your golf career?

Second, if so, what was it and how did it affect your scoring?

[Fourputt]

Actually my breakthrough was in scoring. I went from a bogey golfer to a 10 handicap overnight. No lessons, no endless range sessions. just played golf and suddenly I was playing better. The only thing I changed that season was joining a Men's Club at a local public course. I know that I tend to focus better when playing in a competition, so that might have something to do with it. The only other thing I can think of is that I started warming up for each tournament round by spending about 45 minutes on the chipping/pitching green. Not on the range. Otherwise I didn't change anything in how I played on the course, just started playing better golf.

One of my biggies was a good tempo in my swing instead of the herky jerky stuff that came with trying to swing too hard. Letting the club do the work was key.

My biggest breakthrough was definitely my swing plane. From over the top to more in-out....that and having a far better setup.

Mine was scoring related, and by that I mean actually keeping an accurate/correct score every round. It enlightened me to which part of my game I needed to focus on if I was going to take golf a bit more seriously. Just some minor statistical analysis was very enlightening.

Yes...I found a way to eliminate the backward slide of my hips during my takeaway...I am now centered and never feel off balance (credit the S&T core princples).....nearly every ball I hit right now is on line.

Results: I am a combined +3 over my last 45 holes (albeit, they are tour tracks I am playing, but one of the full rounds was at a fairly solid coure -- 71.7; 131)

Just had a recent breakthrough. Gained extra yardage and a much straighter ball flight by focusing more on getting my right side through the ball through impact and into the follow through.

Tremendous.

Mine was coming over the top. Now I have a in to out swing path and it has really helped me. I hit more fairways this year (56%) and once I got used to the new distance with my irons I was able to hit more greens (37%)....still need to work on that.
