I've driven 20+ hours to see Yoda and being a pro is not my ambition. Drive the five hours, spend the night, get two days in on the range with Ian. Invest or just dream. Drive or log on. Call Ian, and "Ricky- Don''t Lose that number."
And how am I going to drive at 16 years old, and where am I going to get the money from to pay for 2 days with Ian?
Don't know. You seem to play a lot of golf, save a few pounds from that. How does a 16 yr old get around on other days?. You said it was a 5 hour drive. You didn't say it was a 5 hour drive with no way to get there.
Try calling Ian, I didn't suggest two full days. He might have a answer. If you want something badly, and this dream of being a pro seems to rank high, you sometimes need to stop dreaming about it and "just do."
Well maybe it is a 5 hour drive with no way to get there, parents wont drive 5 hours they have work and 5 hour drive thats just stupid!! Im not going to go on a train because thats even more money added to getting accomodation in a b&b which would probbaly cost a bomb in Surrey! and then even more money to get home! Its just not going to happen!
And im not just dreaming, working on my game 3 hours a day isnt just DREAMING, its working to get where i want to be!
believe it or not they are all outside 4 and a half hour drive!
I live in Mid Wales, right in the country with the sheep.
My guess is that you are mixing together hitting and swinging principals, messing up your natural swing.
Download the videos from this site. Your best bet is to practice basic and acquired motion till you are just about sick of it. The dividends from practicing that will pay off big time.
Take a train or bus and see the nearest instructor when you can. Perhaps the lesson could be your Xmas present.
I am in a similar boat to you - except I am not 16 - and I know what a major pain in the backside it is to get to a long distance lesson.

Ricky, good luck. I only made a few suggestions. You are welcome by the way.
Ricky,

I have just got a pm from cometgolfer, who brought my attention to this thread, why dont you give me a call 020 8949 9200, before the end of this week, and lets see if we cant fix something up, I do get to Celtic Manor quite a bit, how close is that to you?? we could possibly fix something up there. I am off to the states on Saturday, and I would like to speak to you before then, please call. In the meantime dont panic, and thank these good people of LBG for taking the time out to help you, and Birdie man wasnt it Mickey???
