And I moved from the whites to the golds! I still hit the ball pretty accurately, just not as far! I'm 65, so why should I?

More good golfer in their golfing life found a key move that change their game.

Do you have any which has revolutionized your game for good?

I haven't found mine yet, Have you?

It's hard to find just one or two.

1 - Swing and contact and video - Just taking a couple lessons changed everything for the first time starting with the Gary Player drill and then going from there.  The basics....whodathunkit?

2 - Shaping and controlling and just plain freaking understanding what's going on - Trackman (and this website actually) - physics is real - face and path actually does mean something significant, uplofting and delofting are powerful tools - if anyone says otherwise, then they are just plain wrong.

3 - Short game - discovering what a pitch and a chip were - changed my game - I was clueless (more than now)

4 - Putting - I have no freaking clue, but incrementally things are starting to gel.....

5 - REAL GOLF - discovering Siracha instead of tobasco for Bloody Mary's

A decade ago I overdid the "connection" thing which led to an overly rotational takeway and and inside swing back that introduced to me the joys of "getting stuck."

That stupid move changed my game for good.  Felt so good, worked so, so bad.

To this day, I almost never practice without "railroad tracks;" my tour sticks laying down and me making sure to hinge my arms UP and never back and obsessing over the move away from the ball.

God I hate that move.  Like a former smoker, I can't even look at a player who takes it away inside.

I meant "former smoker can't stand to be around cigarettes..."

For me it was my Putting. I was real good at putting the ball with in 6 inches with my first put. I thought my ball was afraid of the dark or something. A gentleman I waqs playing with told me don't get in such a hurry to putt  He got me to walk away from the putt and take a breath, and then line it up. I started to make putts instead of leaving myself with a tap in. It's amazing to me how one stupid thing can affect your game like that. :-D.

    • Both @DaveP043 and I play in our interclub matches every year, and have been team Captains as well.  There are always a few courses, mine is one, that win a lot of matches (we've won twice in the last 7 years), and we've been labeled as sandbaggers.  However, I really think that our course was rated too low (our greens just never seemed to get factored in enough), and thus our Handicaps were always a stroke or maybe 2 above, what they would've been if the course was rated higher.  And then when we went and played other courses, their slope and rating were much higher than ours, and sometimes I would get a 2 or 3 stroke bump on top of that.  It was definitely an advantage.  However, this past year, our course was rated again and the slope has gone up, so we'll see if we continue to have the same benefit.  Season starts this Sunday for us.

    • I would not do anything until I met with an instructor and got your swing looked at. There are some obvious better club options out there though. Spend 50 bucks on a lesson, practice and start piecing together a bag that works for you. Enjoy the journey.
