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.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
