Hi All,
Just wanted to get the group's thoughts on practice frequency and quickly dropping handicap. During my round on Monday, one of my playing partners asked how often I practiced/played (was playing pretty well thanks to @Tom Saguto.) I told him that i try to get to the range about 1-2 times per week for an hour and play at least 9 every other week (tough to get out more frequently with 2 small kids, wife, and FT job!!). The guy remarked that I probably wouldn't get much better than being a solid golfer (whatever that means).
I feel there is an opportunity and have gotten significantly better over the best year with Tom's system.
What's the fastest everyone has dropped their handicap and frequency of practice? Obviously, I would expect the lower the handicap, the harder it is to shave strokes. Thanks in advance for the feedback!
The beauty of the short game is athleticism and "power" are not required. What is required is "trust" and a little experimentation to discover how to throttle up, or down, to hit longer or shorter shots. The key for me is knowing the low point, which is what Tom already teaches. For example, if you attempt to hit a short shot and your left shoulder "drifts" to the left vs. rotates, chances are you'll blade the shot because the club will follow the left shoulder's drifted movement.
