Is it possible to play off scratch from 30 in 18 months?

The burden of proof lies with he who makes a claim. I'm calling you out to back up your claims.

It is good to see you learned something from our previous discussion.Now you just have to learn the difference between accusations and open mindedness.

It's the small things we don't pay enough attention to that mess us up.A big problem with golf is the real and feel issue.Standing over the ball ready to go can feel the same whether right or wrong.When you KNOW the pieces are in the right place ,then you can hit 4 balls in 45 secs like Tom Watson does in a youtube video.

There's this one golfer at the driving range who hits 2 large buckets in an hour. His form is really good and he just hits one right after another with pretty decent results. Not sure how good a player he is, but judging by where the balls land probably pretty good.

Right....so if he goes to the course and shoots 100,you know it's mental which of course affects the mechanics.

I doubt he shoots 100, guessing he's possibly scratch. Never seen him putt. He only brings 4 clubs to the range: Driver; 5i; 7i and a wedge.

Some people have asked him for advice and he seems to understand their problems. Not sure what he did in the past, but he's spending most of his time learning to speak English. Spends an hour every morning at the range. . .

In your opinion.... Which is fine, but what works or doesn't work for you is going to be completely different to someone's else's strengths and weaknesses. That's the beauty of life, if everything and everyone was the same we would all be perfect and boring haha

Right, it's one's own opinion.........now get out there and hit 500 balls a day.

I just started a training program focusing on different aspects of the game, it's not 500 balls, more like 250 but spaced over about 2.5 hours. I'll let you know how it goes

500 balls a day is not useful, just because you'll be too fatigued to make a concerted effort to change the picture in a meaningful way.

Go out and practice until you cannot practice without your quality of practice deteriorating, assuming you have time @Mjrowe1

250...that's starting to be serious.

I hit at most 50-75 balls in a range session. I span it out over about 1-2 hours. I've improved my swing with a fraction of golf balls hit than I did just beating ball after ball at the range when I was younger.

If you want to get better. Figure out your priority peace. Figure out what feels or moves you need to make to fix it. Then do meaningful practice. T

Ha ha, I must not be a serious golfer then. I, like Savael, only hit maybe 50-75 balls (medium to large bucket) in a range session.

Collapse, you talk about others needing an open mind, but yours appears quite closed. Perhaps you should consider that quality practice is more important than the quantity of balls you hit?

mjrowe...read this article on good and bad swings...this supports my contention it is small things that make the difference,not big muscle swing moves.

mjrowe.....also, please discuss this graphic with Sandy J.

Sure, once you get the proper big muscles working and somewhat in sequence, there's a whole ton of work left to do. . .
