Golf is certainly a strange beast at times.

After my work with Yoda, I had an unintentional layoff. When I started back up, of course I grab the clubs a quick practice as was expecting great and wonderous things....Not so.

I went over my notes and did the drills and the golf stroke started to re-appear. But 6 weeks later it wasn't getting better in fact it was getting worse.

That is when I went back to the drawing board, not to change the golf stroke but to re-capature the golf stroke.

I did it, or am still doing it painfully, but steady. I wrote up a thing on this in the practice section. Essentially I put most of my efforts into the basics, the basic motion and acquired motion.

Results have been a two stroke drop in Index so far. I am somewhat unique in that I have a distance problem, need to get my physical fitness in shape, easier said than done. But the game is more enjoyable and I can see where more strokes are going to come off the Index.

It takes time, especially IMO when you do most of it yourself. I am fortunate in some respects to have the vids from working with Yoda, my notes over three days which included a number of comments by Ted.

Bottom Line, take small steps, build the basic motion then the acquired motion. Repeating the drills at the range, on the course and at home has really been key for me. You should see immediate improvement in the putting and short game while your ball striking moves closer and closer to goodness.

Hang in there...and Good Luck
