Feedback after 5 months

Hi Tom and Forum members. Just wanted to share some feedback. I signed UP and began with your instructions about 5 months ago.

HDre’s my story. I’m a golfer in my late 60s, still pretty limber, and have played bogey golf for almost 50 years. I became addicted to YouTube golf videos in a quest to get better. Unfortunately, I found that I would find some tip almost every day. And, I would change what I was doing before almost every round. Since I try to play 4 to 5 times a week, that was a lot of change!

Last February I was about to give up and focus on bowling when I looked into your online training course. I’ve taken lessons from two different pros in the last 3 years, but they treated my swing of that day. Since I was

watching so many YouTube videos, my technique would change the next week. Scary!

So I committed to only follow your training program and ignore the tips on YouTube, Golf Digest, emails, etc. So far, I seem to be on the right track with my GHIN index dropping from 18 to 12.8. However, I seem to have hit a wall and started reverting to bad habits.

So, here is some feedback on the training, much of this you have said on your videos:

-Golf is hard and change takes time.

-Feel vs. real is REALLY important. Until recently I wasn’t filming my swing. OMG! That couldn’t be me swinging on the V1 video! My point being that what I was doing and what I thought I was doing were very different.

-I think Harvey Penick said, “if I tell you to take an aspirin, don’t take the whole bottle.” It is easy to heat a suggestion and overdo it. I am a case study in that problem. Back to the last point, it makes it even more important to use V1 so you can see what you are doing. It’s also important to use your drills with alignment sticks to get feedback.

Thanks Tom, for all you do and thanks for allowing me to give you this feedback!
