Hello, I'm new on this forum, I'm 16 and hit in the 90's, In terms of my life I have started looking towards my future and I wondered whether its too late to knuckle down on my game and become a tour golfer, I know it's an optimistic thing but I just needed someone else's perspective on things. Many thanks

To be at a world class at any sports these days requires that you start early (way before 16), you have the right resource (access to good coaches, money for training/equipment), and most importantly that God has smiled on you and gave you things that will set you apart (athleticism, physical superiority, hard work ethic, single minded determination, etc).  But by all means, if you think you have it all, go for it.

Take if for someone who trained since age 10 to be a world class athletic in a sport (not in golf).   It is hellishly difficult to become a world class athlete in any sport.

    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
