I'm going to preface this post by saying: Yes, I am very hard headed and a poor listener as you're about to learn. When I was in college (2 years ago) my roommate was on the golf team and was an excellent golfer (still is). One day, while watching me on the range, he suggested that I put the ball more towards the toe because my path was changing the impact position and I began to hit the ball better. I did this consciously for about two weeks and played better, started not thinking about it, moved back towards center and had ok shots. Well, not too long ago I noticed I was actually hitting on the toe (address at center) so I moved the ball way back towards the hossel and my game has been going downhill. Fast. I know I shouldn't have changed my game because of one day of playing poorly but I remembered that I used to do that today while hitting and my shots improved. I've looked all over the place for a similar situation but all I have found is that it is a swing flaw, which I agree with.

However, if it works for me to address near the toe should I just continue to play with this swing flaw or should I try to remedy it asap?

I know that's a pretty stupid question since we would all benefit from a pro but I am a pretty hard headed person and at the moment pretty broke.

Thanks for any replies!

Jacob

    • Why if you're just going to wait next? Are they behind? Rounds took over five hours yesterday.
    • My goodness Rose is slow!! Pick up the pace dude. 
    • I hear the points from OP (@TommyRude, decent first post BTW), but these 'never' takes are almost always illogical. Masters is the one of those places where an 'older' player has the best chance. Having said that the second shot on 15th IMHO was a bit of gamble which I think in some way could be labeled as lack of discipline. It seemed even short irons/wedges were bouncing off this green. A 4-iron seemed like a very low percentage shot from 230 out. Bit surprised Harry D agreed with the choice.  Yeah, well we have a player who has been playing like a god for last couple of years without a complex (seemingly) and people would rather watch cardboard decompose. So, yeah, Rory serves what we ask and hope you are wrong.
