Instructors reduce the frustration and I am always stunned at my false ideas of what I need to correct. Cameras help but an instructor with a complete knowledge of the swing helps you get thru the complexity.

Oh boy, here we go. When is it time to lay down and pull that divot over yourself? Don’t get me wrong, because I agree more than I disagree. But, I WILL NOT GO GENTLY INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT. As an aside, what is later in life? 25? 35? Or real old like 40?-Please mail me your car keys!
Golf is a FEEL. How U get it is the mystery. Exactly what is the feel of a “satisfactory” golf stroke? When is the appropriate time to seek the assistance of an instructor? How can I take away some "benchmarks" that will keep me from running myself into the ditch? I often wonder if many of those on the tour were not just lucky when they built a foundation and learned to play. I am reminded of the Charles Barkley's of this game.
