I would just like to make everybody aware of a training program that I have been using that is working wonders for my golf game. The program mainly focuses on teaching golfers how to swing a golf club in a synchronized way with the body through training. Once the training and movements are implemented properly I was amazed at how well I can now hit the golf ball with speed, safety and strength. It is a way out of thinking about swing mechanics on the golf course. I can say that my mis-hits are now in play and am not even worried if I don't connect with the golf ball as well as I think I should have. 

The program is explained very well and my scores have improved dramatically coming down from a 16 handicap to a 10 since the start of the year.

There are not many reviews of the program as it is relatively new, but the first I found on google is on the following link. https://basicgolfer.com/tathata-golf-review-60-day-training-program

I just want to make golfers aware that this program is around as it really works if you apply the training.

Cheers

The goals that you posted in the 2018 Golf Goals thread were to play more than once a month and be a more consistent putter. 

So you are saying that with Tathata Golf, you dropped 6 strokes off of your handicap in 2 months so far in 2018 when in 2017 you were only playing once a month?

It’s not impossible. It’s not like he said he went from a 10 to a 4 playing once a month?

I purchased the Program about six weeks ago after reading some reviews and am up to day 42. Three rounds of golf with a score in the mid 70s will certainly drop your handicap off a 16. I have been off a lower handicap than that before, but have blown out because I don't play golf much and got sick of all the inconsistencies in coaching. I have so far reached my first goal of playing more golf this year (played 6 rounds in February) but am still struggling with my putting. I think the program does a section on putting soon which I am looking forward to.

Just thought id share it with some other golfers as it has helped me understand the golf swing and implement some of the movements needed to hit the ball consistently.. The program is actually also backed by Jack Nicklaus himself.

It might not be for everybody, but if you are looking at getting better then id say it's worth a try. The mental training is also a bit questionable, but you don't really need it to experience some sort of success from the program.

This seems like a followup to this thread:

It sounds like you could be just shaking the cobwebs off and getting back to a level of golf you used to play at. You’ve been at a lower handicap before, as you just now wrote. 

In any case, we typically like to discuss specifics here on the site. Like what your issues were, what the instruction was exactly, and how you practiced to overcome it. 

Frankly, pushing a specific product with a vague sense of your recent improvement isn’t much to discuss. Also lends to suspicions of you pushing an agenda to promote something. 

If you want to tell us about the specifics of what you’ve learned and implemented, great. If you want to recommend a commercial product without any of that, not sure you’ll find a welcoming place here for that discussion. Just not the kind of site here where that fits in.

For what it’s worth, I cracked up that I’d come across as sanctimonious.  I can sorta kinda see it, and I was definitely long-winded. 

My intent was to matter-of-factly encourage actual discussion of improvement from a new poster, not linking out to a product. Let’s hear about the original weakness. The cure. The results. We have lots of lurkers too who might see that and get a sense of a better topic, when they decide to wade in. 

There was no attitude I was trying to impart- just a friendly steering toward what, in the future, might be a better-received topic.

You don't need to defend yourself @RandallT. The only asshole here is @uitar9.

    • @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.
    • Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!
    • Wish I could have spent 5 minutes in the middle of the morning round to hit some balls at the range. Just did much more of right side through with keeping the shoulders feeling level (not dipping), and I was flushing them. Lol. Maybe too much focus on hands stuff while playing.
    • Last year I made an excel that can easily measure with my own SG data the average score for each club of the tee. Even the difference in score if you aim more left or right with the same club. I like it because it can be tweaked to account for different kind of rough, trees, hazards, greens etc.     As an example, On Par 5's that you have fescue on both sides were you can count them as a water hazard (penalty or punch out sideways), unless 3 wood or hybrid lands in a wider area between the fescue you should always hit driver. With a shorter club you are going to hit a couple less balls in the fescue than driver but you are not going to offset the fact that 100% of the shots are going to be played 30 or more yards longer. Here is a 560 par 5. Driver distance 280 yards total, 3 wood 250, hybrid 220. Distance between fescue is 30 yards (pretty tight). Dispersion for Driver is 62 yards. 56 for 3 wood and 49 for hybrid. Aiming of course at the middle of the fairway (20 yards wide) with driver you are going to hit 34% of balls on the fescue (17% left/17% right). 48% to the fairway and the rest to the rough.  The average score is going to be around 5.14. Looking at the result with 3 wood and hybrid you are going to hit less balls in the fescue but because of having longer 2nd shots you are going to score slightly worst. 5.17 and 5.25 respectively.    Things changes when the fescue is taller and you are probably going to loose the ball so changing the penalty of hitting there playing a 3 wood or hybrid gives a better score in the hole.  Off course 30 yards between penalty hazards is way to small. You normally have 60 or more, in that cases the score is going to be more close to 5 and been the Driver the weapon of choice.  The point is to see that no matter how tight the hole is, depending on the hole sometimes Driver is the play and sometimes 6 irons is the play. Is easy to see that on easy holes, but holes like this:  you need to crunch the numbers to find the best strategy.     
    • Very much so. I think the intimidation factor that a lot of people feel playing against someone who's actually very good is significant. I know that Winged Foot pride themselves on the strength of the club. I think they have something like 40-50 players who are plus something. Club championships there are pretty competitive. Can't imagine Oakmont isn't similar. The more I think about this, the more likely it seems that this club is legit. Winning also breeds confidence and I'm sure the other clubs when they play this one are expecting to lose - that can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
