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.

That's awesome progress.  Can you make it scratch in 10 months . .sure.  Statistically speaking it's not likely but it depends on your natural talent and you obviously have some.  You're obviously pra

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.

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

      Issue With Finger Aiming on Short Putts

      By p1n9183 ·

      Most of people does it! (but none over the ball) Gave it time.. Hehe...  Funny story... almost a decade ago I started to aim 3..4 fingers away from penalty hazards on long shots. At 270 yards, each finger is around 10 yards sideways (I got to that number experimenting at my home course and using google maps). Been my dispersion around 70/80 yards this almost put the penalty hazard out of play for me. But most importantly I found a way to measure distance sideways on a golf course.  Of course till today everybody ask me what am I doing with my fingers on tee shots, even on approach shots.  Last year, playing a mid-Am I was paired up with a guy with a caddie, the caddie was his friend but also a decent golf PRO. After a couple of holes he asked me what I was doing and he pulled out his phone to show me an app or "system" that can be purchased were it tells you how much a finger is in yards from different distances. Of course if I could figure out how to measure distance sideways in a golf course many people can do the same and make it a trend an even sell it so... you never know! Thanks for the info. The patch is getting worse... more accurate but less intuitive to follow. I rather look funny doing aimpoint on my knee and just use 1 simple formula than using this patch.    I invite you to measure it yourself, don't trust my numbers. Even your arm length, height and finger width are going to change the numbers. Over the 3 footer was clear that my fingers were farther away from the hole standing up than the others. (even with the arm stretch issue i will explain in the next paragraph) Over the 9 footer I agree with you that it should be the longest of the 3 but in practice it wasn't. My best guess is the arm position on each set up. Standing tall the arm is in front of the body aiming a little down, really easy to stretch. Kneeling, because of my spine been tilted forward (20/30°)  the arm is aiming to the front but more up been a little harder to stretch. Laying on the floor the arm is pointing over the shoulders making it even harder to stretch. The less the arm is stretched, the less distance the fingers are from the eyes resulting in bigger results. At this distance it started to matter, but not on shorter ones.

      Etiquette Violations (and Other Things) That Bug You

      By GolfLug ·

      I believe the golf courses are leaving some opportunities on the table to educate and even insist that folks repair ball marks and fill in divots. They can and should put up signs strategically of what is expected. It may not cure the problem completely but it certainly would raise the level of awareness and improve on the status quo. Edit: I think the courses should straight up empty threaten folks that they would be asked to leave if found to be leaving ball marks unrepaired. Seriously.
