I've been Playing Golf for: 17 years My current handicap index or average score is: 78 My typical ball flight is: Straight with a mid trajectory The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: The block fade [rule] Videos: Just as a heads up it's been a few months since I've swung a club due to winter, so there are a few pulls and such. Still trying to shake the rust off. [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMr5f_Cdr0I&feature;=youtube_gdata_player[/video] A couple wedge shots and a couple flop shots. [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjUqhvDwTqE&feature;=youtube_gdata_player[/video] Here is some 7i shots. I will be getting some driver videos tonight the ones I took before came out bad. One thing I'm trying to work on is flexibility to help with my turn into my finish, my knees are not a fan of it right now. If anyone sees any other glaring issues, let me know. Thanks.

obviously a good player...the wedge swings are much too long with your weight not remaining on the left side throughout.I don't know if you are on your heels at address but if you are,that may be ok.The swing in general may need a bit of shortening.

Okay, thank you. Next time I am at the range I will definitely try shortening up my wedges a bit.

    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.

    • Thanks man, sometimes it’s hard to improve bc when I’m not feeling comfortable I don’t like practicing bc I get frustrated. Any advice?
