Hi Andy
Most interesting article. Notice “68% of your shots will be played from inside 100 yards”. In someway or another you will reach those 100 yards and then the “real” play begins. A good advice is to take a putt-lesson or two. Almost nobody takes putting-lessons according to pros in my area! Confidence in the short game makes often confidence in driving and seconds shoots.

I purchased your Teaching program at the end of last year. I was scoring 80-83 on consistant basis. I play on a daily basis weather permitting. My short game was the best part of my game. Living in Columbus, Ohio left me with only practice indoors for most part of the winter. Part of my practice with your (now mine) new swing involved swinging over weight clubs. This I think has strenghten my wrist and forearms and has made my wrist more supple to obtain close to 90 degree angle on right hand. When I first got out this year it was still new to me and it was frustrating when I was not hitting ball well. I reread your program and it was amazing what I got out of it this time. I have logged in 23 rounds and the last ten rounds have all been under 80 (lowest being 74). I know for me what has really been the key was the strenght of the grip, by starting with tight grip and actually it feels like I tighten even more to start my reverse press. When you press against left thumb knuckle with right palm it feels like your hands grip tighter, it also moves your hands forward slightly and gets your weight on front foot ever so slightly. It also took a while to figure you do not swing arms but turn your waist and shoulder to get club into the air behind you. What has been so sweet about my (not yours anymore) new swing is there are very few moving parts it seems, it is always repeatedable. I am very excited for the rest of this golf season and know that I have not finished getting better. I will go back and read again and see what else I have missed
Thank You
Toy

Again it proves how important the mental part of the game is. You can think your way to greater success.

Hi Andy
I really enjoy your articles. This one is special to me because it took forever for me to learns . I would hit balls for hours trying to develop shots I was certain I would need. But as you reminded me one of my pro freinds said well just practice the stance the grip and tempo and you’ll do ok. He also added that the stance also included line-up both on the clubs and the putter as well.Thanks for the reminder!:wink:
