Quote:I also play professionally and know quite a few of the local mini tour/tour players. Did you catch his name per chance? 

 

To me the real difference between pros and ams is that professionals have a swing they can easily repeat and are money around the greens and never 3 putt.

 

When you have a repeatable swing your confidence is high which allows you to go at more pins but also play fearlessly because you know you can get up and down if you miss your mark.

 

All I got was his first name, John.   If I had his last name, I'm not sure I'd post it here.   I would feel a little queasy about putting someone's name on a message board like that.    I got to talking to him, I learned more about my swing in 5 minutes than I could hitting a hundred buckets of balls by myself.   That impressed me so much I hired an instructor and took my first lesson yesterday.   Just chipping and pitching for 2 hours.   Great, really productive use of time and money. 

 

It was out at Bent Creek.
