A high handicap hacker critiquing the swing advice of a solid 7 who usually shoots 80 or less from the tips. Alan is not qualified to clean my shoes. Of course my swing advice changes; my whole concept of the golf swing and golf is still changing and I am discovering what works, pragmatic and practical. I have been playing only 6 years. I am learning what it takes to consistently hit fairways and greens. I am rapidly improving at age 66 BECAUSE I am not afraid to make adjustments. Those who are frozen to the "standard" stuff they hear from teaching pros and read in books are doomed to "paralysis by analysis" every time out. I love to play those guys, but it is pathetic to watch them agonize. They are afraid to do anything they haven't seen in a book. Larry

The only course you shoot 80 from the tips on is your local putt-putt. We have seen your swing. You have a vanity handicap. > Of course my swing advice changes; my whole concept of the golf swing > and golf is still changing and I am discovering what works, pragmatic > and practical.

A guy who chases each and every new swing theory and most likely each new gadget.

Oh, wait: we already know the answer! You were given the opportunity and you backed out. I'll say it plainly so that even you will understand, Larry: You're not a 7 handicap. You're a vanity handicapper who doesn't post his bad rounds. > > Of course my swing advice changes; my whole concept of the golf swing > and golf is still changing and I am discovering what works, pragmatic > and practical.
