phsr,

Thanks for the comments.

But, why not follow 12-5-0 in practice and still play for score?

To me, Drills are “getting it out of the dirt”. Too many attempt to improve without Drills, etc. In my younger days I was an Olympic – style wrestler and a NAAU Champion, believe me you can’t get there only through scrimmaging, you must drill so you own the techniques or moves.

I see a lot of people thinking that practice ONLY occurs on the range. They do not consider swinging at home while looking into a mirror, drilling at home, etc. practice. BIG MISTAKE!

To quote Homer (2-0), “The Three Imperatives and Essentials operate to correct faulty procedures, so if they seem elusive it is invariably because you are trying to execute them while you hit the ball—in your accustomed manner. That must be reversed. Learn to do things even if you miss the ball—until you no longer miss it. There is no successful alternative.”

Reread parts of Chapter 3, especially 3-B, 3-F-4, and Chapter 14. Also look at Carey Mumford’s 32 Ball Drill.
