Get my eyes checked. 7. "turn of the brain. turn on the game." Try easy not try hard. 8. Practice my alignment on the range and forget about it on the course. 9. Have a big enough set to "let the motion make the shot." 10. Focus ONLY on things I can control . . . not crap I can't. 11. Have fun. Play each shot as an isolated event. 12. Learn how far I hit each club. 13. Define each shot. Use images. 14. Do mechanics practice at home in net. Do "golf" simulation on range. Is this a decent start? #15 Manipulate your childrens so that they love golf and you can play more often __________________ "In my experience, if you stay with the essentials you WILL build a repeatable swing undoubtedly. If you can master the Imperatives you have a champion" (Vikram). The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts) mrodock View Public Profile Send a private message to mrodock Find all posts by mrodock
