I was very interested in this thread, because my KNOWLEDGE of G.O.L.F. has increased exponentially over the last three years, but has not translated into a great improvement in scoring. I believe that if I can learn to PLAY using your list (instead of PRACTICING my way around the course and telling myself that everyone else is better than me), it will lead to lower scores. My mechanics have a lot of room for improvement, but I play with some guys who have much worse mechanics than I do, but consistently score better. It seems that, when PLAYING (getting the ball in the hole), the mental side is much more important than mechanics. I am interested in your progress. Holla back! So far . . . not so good . . . . I have been practicing . . . just not playing any golf at all for the most part. Only 3 rounds in at this point. Handicap is pretty much not moved . . . BUT I have a much better short game. And my swing is getting better. I look for a break out year . . . as soon as I can play. __________________ Aloha Mr. Hand Behold my hands; reach hither thy hand 12 piece bucket View Public Profile Send a private message to 12 piece bucket Find all posts by 12 piece bucket
