re: Videos of my golf swing searching for advice

Just asking based on seeing my swing. I'm going to change it but what would you say my potential is based off just seeing my swing. Like how good can I become I have absolutely fallen in love with the game and want to play and practice all the time.

We do not believe that a player who scores habitually around 94 or 98 or 110 should be left to freeze at whatever altitude he is struggling. That player, and any player, can be helped, and helped a great deal. We believe he can be taught to play a very respectable game.

I read this quote in the introduction to "The four magic moves to winning golf" on their website in February. Since the beginning of the year untill then I shot 107, 99, 108 and 110 (and only broke 100 one time previously). After reading the website, ordering the book and practicing what I read, I have shot 94, 96, 102, 104, 93.

I am not saying the book is magic, but it tells you the basics that are impossible to know unless someone explicitly teaches them to you. In every section, they detail the fatal flaws and the "magic move" and I was doing all of the fatal flaws and not a single one of the magic moves. After only 2 months of reading and practicing, I still suck, but I am getting better and having a lot more fun out there. Truthfully, I am procrastinating on getting lessons, but until I finally do it, this book has helped a lot.

'Til I saw that, I always thought your were el gaucho.

No shite.

Especially when you hit that cat, coming home from playing basketball off Hooper Road.




Hell, good luck with the swing.

With your swing... Not taking into account your competitiveness or course management.... I would say that swing slightly refined could get you around the course in an average of 85

Well what fundamentals will get me one day in low 70's ! I was once a national championship weightlifter and I was great not neccessarily because I was just brute strong I was a student of the technique and that's what I aim to be at golf. My swing speed at edwin watts was 115 with a driver. I thinks that's decently fast. I guess what I'm asking is what am I missing so much that will one day put me at scratch. I think I have the athletic ability and capacity to learn to do so.

Get lessons. Let the pro know what you are trying to achieve. You will have a better chance with personal instruction

How should I go about picking a pro that is knowledgeable and knows what he's doing

not so fast. Peter Winkler was one of the best teaching pros around and he wasn't at a great course. He coached Hall Sutton at Centenary.
