Mr Mayo came to Holland. I was very fortunate to finally meet him and very lucky to book a lesson. To sum it up. It was impressive, learningfull, in no time he had me hitting draws. First, he set my body. It felt very umcomfortable at first, but after a few moments I got used to it. Feet flared, handle up like throwing a frisbee. At first it felt very strange but after a while, i started drawing. Amazing. My left knee is strechting to quickly I must work at that amd as soon as I got that undet control, i start ripping it. The sound of impact became different, more oof a thumpb. I have practised now for a few weeks. I am not totally familar, but I can control my curvature more and more. Played 2 rounds, committing to the new swing sonto speak. I draw the ball now, sometimes even hooling it. I hook it when i straighten my knee to soon in the downswing. When I keep my flex longer. It draws. I gained distance and I know noe bettet what my clubface is doing. I was very impressed with Joe. After me, he helped a semi pro player. I never ever seen someone before who became a better player within one hour under the guidence of a top coach. Player ne and he found his mojo. Joe is an absolute tip top pro with tons of knowledge. I felt fortunate to have met him

They filmed me, but unfortunately I only have it on my app and somehow I can not copy paste it.  But whenever I am on film, I want to quit golf. Horrible

Glad to hear it. I stumbled across Joe's videos on YouTube several years ago and came away pretty impressed. I thought he did a really nice job explaining spin axis tilt and other ball flight concepts in a way that dummies like me could understand. 

Its nice to hear that his coaching ability is on par with his knowledge of the golf swing.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
