The very first time I played without any previous practice I shot a 43 for 9 holes...too bad it was a par 3 lol

I don't know about his first round ever, but I played with an 18 year old kid recently who's final high school baseball season had just ended and he'd decided to take up golf. I played with him in his 3rd month of playing, with I think 6 lessons under his belt. He shot high 70s with a bunch of ugly 3 putts early and after fading towards the end with a couple very mediocre second shots. Was a super nice honest seeming kid who said his best round so far was a 75. He was maybe 5'9" at the most and skinny, hit his drives 280 minimum, with a bunch over 300. Slightly depressing...

I mean it would be tough to say, its certainly possible... He could play once a month for four months and practice a lot inbetween. Or 4 times a year and practice in between.. Perhaps we will never know

That's how I did it. I broke 100 the first time with a 92. I also hit about 10,000 balls at the range between those two rounds.

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
