So my name is Cody and im 18. I have only been golfing honestly once and been to a driving range 2 times. I was not even capable of hitting a driver 100 yards and keeping it straight. My dad surprised me and got me golf lessons at one of our local driving ranges. In about 25 minutes I was driving 290-300 yards dead straight at between 104-111 MPH consistently. My PGA golf instructor called me a prodigy and told me I might have a bright future in golf if I kept working hard at it.

lol... I hear you man, too bad hitting it 300 yards dead straight is only 3 percent of the game of golf... Most bad instructors call everyone prodigies, I mean what a better way to keep getting daddies money! Best of Luck Man...

While you're searching Ebay for your tour card look for some Ping Eye 2 irons, they will elevate your game.  With your given talents you should be dominating the game in no time.

yikes, tough crowd.     The kid is just excited his lesson paid off & his driving improved dramatically.      My advice is to stick with it & practice to bring out those talents you may have - it's a different game on the course when you have to hit that 290 yard drive on a fairway thats only 80 ft wide.      Have fun & keep practicing...

I can hit my 9 iron 200 yards with the ball in the back of my stance and my hands pressed forward and maintaining a low follow thru... I nice boring ball flight that will run forever, but who really cares is my main point. Best of Luck man

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
