The fact that he has a building that has one opening that hits out into a driving range, and the opposite wall has a golf simulator. The fact that weather will not play a part in my lessons. Every shot you take using either one is recorded and sent to you by email. I saw him just over a year ago for the first time, and it has gone downhill ever since. These weren't great results then, but it was my first lesson. Hitting a 7 iron then and this is total distance. Thoughts? -

I was pondering a repeatable golf swing beings I am a beginner, and a lot of things have presented themselves in bad ways. I am mainly speaking irons here. The thing about golf is the ball is still, but the golfer is also standing over the ball. Are we saying that each time I hit the ball, my spine angle, lead arm, trail arm, wrists, etc. have to be just about exact to have a repeatable golf swing? This is already a "funky" position to be in, and a "funky" move to make. The golf swing is more of a body swing (in my mind). The ball is small and the sweet spot is small. I just feel defeated in the fact that I need to bend over the ball the same way every time, same knee bend, same swing arc, and hit a small ball with a small sweet spot. When I watch club fittings on YouTube, these guys are swinging about the same speed within 1 mph or so. Their Trackman numbers are pretty identical even in 10-20 swings. I am just trying to make sure that this is the main summary of what needs to be done. As a beginner, how did you all think through the process to make the swing repeatable? Much appreciated. -

I kind of figured that might be part of the problem. I’m still guilty of it myself at times and you’re a better ballstriker than I am. I imagine the temptation to go for the flag grows as you get more control over your wedges. Might want to think about shot selection, too. I don’t know how you typically play short game shots but I see a lot of people default to hitting high pitch shots from basically everywhere, to every hole location, without regard for how the green is contoured and how the ball might release depending on where it lands. I know my short game has been steadily improving from expanding my shot selection, overall. Though to be honest, part of that is from necessity because I was really struggling with pitch shots so I started hitting more chips from everywhere, but it taught me a lot more about how to play short game shots in general. NP man. We’re all learning and improving together. It is a really good tool.
