This is why elite sports people are once in a lifetime type people. You can’t train another person to feel what you feel.

Lol
Golfers = know it alls.
They didnt learn shit that day
When everyone else is still trying to take mistakes out of their game, and you are customizing your control to achieve your desired outcome. Tiger is G.O.A.T.
i watched your swing so much and imitated so much. you helped me solidify something i wasnt sure of and thats the hold of the release on ghe left hand to produce more spin.
you guys are all real solid. thanks for the hard work.

Then again I'm struggling with my own game.
Tiger: "That's why I'm a legend and you're not"
DON'T FOLLOW what they DO when hitting the golf ball. Just follow your instinct. You can't never be like them.
(Looks at green) Hit it that way - pretty hard. Yeah, always pretty hard.
"You going to use a gap wedge or a sand iron"
(Looks at green again) Probably a 5 iron - 'cause it's at least 85 yards - and there is a bit of upslope.
And my laser and my apple watch agree with my Garmin about the wind being at 3 now so....
Tiger: off-the-charts smart
Rory: needing Tiger to validate his own flawed technique
Day: couldn't care less about Rory's substandard wedge shot -- is only thinking about what to ask Tiger
Rahm: with no major championships, opens mouth and inserts foot
DJ: deep in thought..."should I do my girlfriend before or after dinner"
Speaking of working it both ways, Tiger can’t hit a big, high hook anymore. He’s more accurate off the tee now that he hits fades though. He can still hit high fades with any club but he’s lost the ability to hit high hooks. He can hit a draw which is fine but say he hits his tee shot left on 9 or 15 at Augusta...he used to be able to hit high hooks around those trees. With his new swing, he can’t do that anymore.
Hes not winning like he did 5 years ago, because 5 years ago he putted lights out. Doesnt matter how good you hit it in this game, you still have to be one of the best putters playing that week to win.
Tiger: Wanna see my trophy room?
I’m joking. I freakin love Tiger Woods!
AMAZING
TIGER STILL GOAT, so far..
He still has 80 with 15 majors, and you can't take that away from him.
And just 1 of their careers is twice as good as yours.
やっぱりタイガーはカッコいい
That said, Rory needs to take a back seat and listen. He's arguably the best driver of the ball the game has ever seen, yet he ought to let Tiger explain himself and learn a thing or two here.
Would love to see the result of each of their shots.
Those other lads must spend all day in the Gym
Kinda pointless
Now this has become a joke n a celebration for them .

I've seen many amateurs beat ball after ball with a wedge trying to get better. Although this may result in temporary results for that session based on feel, bad habits are more likely being developed.
The best advice I have:
- Set your goals, and log them in a journal or on your smartphone. (SMART goal- Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound).
- Theory/Fundamentals: Start with basics. Read Pelz Short Game Bible, or get a lesson from a PGA club pro that specializes in the short game. (Side note I was a 1-3 handicap before reading Pelz' book; after a couple years of applying his fundamentals, and practice- I improved to a +2, and began shooting under par more frequently, and nearly every time at my home course).
- Location: Practice at a course with a solid short game practice area. There needs to be plenty of fairway run-up for working on a variety of shots and trajectories, not just shots from rough. Get a shag bag, get good practice balls that spin (not range balls).
- Practice with Purpose: Do some drills, then more drills. Plenty of vids on here to find some good ones. (ie, 15y/30y/50y drill to a front/back pin, 10 balls to each pin, focus on landing point and trajectory)
- Track Progress: Drills help to benchmark results. Your scores will show progress. Set up a camera during practice sessions occasionally, or check in with your PGA pro. This is important every couple of months.
Ball Striking vs. Wedge Skills (amateur, assumes decent putting)
A good wedge player can shoot more consistent scores, and minimize the margin of error (imagine never making a double bogey); whereas a good ball striker might make fewer mistakes tee to green, yet each mistake is magnified by lack of wedge game.
Cheers.
Action does not originate in the new rational part of the brain, it has it's small place, but rhythm, feel, energy and coordination are not rational (either is playing the piano or singing etc).
Educat yourself before you speak imbecile
