Mid Handicaps (Most of use Guys...) what should we expect????

[bts]

Should we, in our attempts to get better (however YOU define better) attempt to get a model looking swing, or and effective swing (which may be ugly)? I mean, all of the teaching I have received, attempts to get my swing to "look" more like tiger, goosen, etc. Is that a realistic expectation, OR, should I just take my bucket of flaws, eliminate the worst 2-3, and thats about the most I can expect?

I started playing 9 years ago, got it down to an 11, and now my lessons tend to focus on the same stuff (I know, fix it and we can move to something else). I am not even sure what I need another lesson for since its a repeat of the same 3-4 things. Maybe I should just use me video camera and try to solve my flaws?

Anyway, ......Build a good set of compensations or try for the model swing?????

Oh,, I do want to get to a 5 handicap.

It's definitely reachable. I would, though first, get over the "hacking" intent. Without doing that, more lessons only get you a better "hacker", who would never be consistent enough to reach your goal.

Then, find a model swing, which literally "loads and sustains the lag" by a pure rotating pivot (no nothing but rotating) acuating a straight lead arm, which, I believe, is the basic/ideal swing Mr. Kelley advocated.

Do like the blade of the helicopter, a flying robot btw, does.
