re: How long did it take you to build a solid repeatable swing?

Went from shooting mid 80's on a good day and mid 90's on a bad day to shooting mid 70's on a good day and high 70's on a bad day.

Had played golf for many years and after a particularly frustrating round, immediately came off the course wanting a lesson. The "pro" had me hit 6 irons. Was so frustrated after my round, I started hitting "worm burners" in front of the "pro".

I looked at him and asked for him to totally rebuild my swing. He asked that I continue to hit, as he observed.

Finally, he told me he wanted to change one thing. Said my swing looked good - just needed one small change. That small change took me from a small fade to a duck hook.

Said all that to say - I stuck with it - took about 3 months but totally changed my game. So I guess to answer your question, 3 months.
