Help!!! I give up this game!

Bud, I would go with the dowels focusing on alignments, use a mirror to ensure that what you are thinking you are doing is what you are actually doing.

Then do 12-5-1.....maybe 12-5-2, get those right.

Get that crisp contact, work with different clubs as well.

Just a wild observation, you might be getting in your own way. You had a fairly decent stroke a while back, it is there and it can be better.

That sounds about right my friend, I think I am just trying too hard and expecting too much. I suppose I should know by now that this game we call Golf, the amount of effort you put in does not necessarily translate to results straight away.
I think I will just go back to the dowels for now and just keep on looking. People always look at me strangely when they see me with a few wooden dowels at the driving range

Alex,

Your name was one of the first I read when I started posting on the TGM and Chuck Evans Forums two years ago. I have read every one of your comments and questions and have thoroughly enjoyed each and every one. On more than one occasion, you have inspired me to write a post shedding light on the great truths that Homer Kelley left us. One day, I hope to meet you personally.

Meanwhile...

Send us a video. Ted and I will review it and record a personalized CD with analysis and commentary. The disc will contain all the software you need to load and play it on your own computer.

With your permission, we will post it on the site.

Thank you Yoda for you kind offer! I really appreciate this. I haven't got any recent video but I do have some from late last summer that I will email you. I shall try to take some newer vids tomorrow when I head to the range but it will be something to get started with I suppose.
Thanks again for the kind offer and yes, you can post it up on the site if you feel it will help everyone else on the site lift some more fog.

With the newer videos from the down the line view, try to get the camera about hands high or very slightly higher on a parallel line with the baseline. In other words, try to shoot through your hands. If you can send it as an AVI file, it would be best. I'll look forward to seeing them.

Hang in there Alex and do not fish. It promotes over the top and club head throw away.........

Hi Ted,

I emailed Yoda some videos from front on and down the line this morning. Hopefully he has received them ok. I will try to get newer ones tomorrow and then send them to you or Yoda.
Thanks again,

You're welcome to send them to my email address at tufpgagolf@yahoo.com. If possible, cut the excess off each end to make the avi file as small as possible. I'll get the others from Yoda.
Thanks,

Ted, new videos have been sent. Let me know if you got them, I have been having some problems with my email account lately.

I believe I've received everything you sent me. Everything's been forwarded to Ted for our analysis. I'm off for the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando for the rest of the week, but we'll get with it when I return.

I did get them. I've glanced at them, and I have some ideas that I know will help you, immensely.

Hang in there Alex, buddy.

No fishing, no casting.

Try working on chipping and gradually move up once you get to hear that lovely clicking sound of the compressed golf ball on a regular basis.

You have to get worse to get better, so stick with the programme and good luck.
