Golf is difficult at any level and any age, @mazzie252000, but that certainly does not preclude us from committing to the improvement process and putting in the appropriate time and effort to achieve realistic goals (which I absolutely believe yours is!).

In order to put ourselves on the proper track, we must take sufficient time to ensure that we master the fundamental components of the first couple of chapters! I cannot overemphasize this enough, as frustrations predominantly occur when students jump ahead in the curriculum without properly dedicating themselves to the foundational base upon which our consistently repeatable, powerful, low maintenance swing must be built.

As you may have seen me state previously, one of the many great things about this swing is that you can achieve solid ball striking even at the most basic levels. This is why I oftentimes will suggest that students park themselves on Chapter 2 of the Golf Swing Simplified course for an extended period of time after locking down Chapter 1's foundational elements. Chapter 2 reinforces the body motions and the weight-forward component, and it culminates with what I call "The Best Golf Swing Practice Drill of All Time". Work yourself sequentially and gradually through the chapter, and then commit yourself to that drill in Lesson 2.8. Learn it. Practice it. Master it. You can even use the partially abbreviated swing it provides on the course and play quite well with it as it will provide plenty of distance. (It actually is the full swing minus just a couple of power accumulators.) Once you've got that down, you will be well prepared to move forward in the curriculum and well on your way towards taking ownership of YOUR swing (and yes - including your driver)!

By the way, the previously mention 90% Weight Forward Drill can be done in conjunction with your work in Chapter 2 and the Lesson 2.8 drill. They all support each other in helping us to build the swing from the ground up!
