Well, lemme tell ya, my first bit of advice is, are you a member somewhere, cause if your not, your cause is lost. I found that out after 14 years off weekend warrior stuff that honestly got me nowhere. 5 years ago I joined a smaller course here in town with a 14 handicap and a want to get better but mostly to have fun and keep my cash at a minimum. I am now right at 4 even and rarely shoot over 80. Now, got some major disadvantages, but I am a pretty good athlete (bad ankle, not very long for my size). But the truth is that most of the stuff that keeps you back has little or nothing to do with your swing and everything to do with what's between your ears. I play with a dude who is missing two limbs and he shoots in the 70s. I play with an older guy who shoots scratch without his left lung. Everyone has flaws. What it takes is learning what is your game, playing within it, and practicing like crazy to improve what you got. I will be scratch within the year. I don't say that lightly. My belief, nay my knowing comes from failing to break eighty for 16 years, and then breaking it and then breaking 70 three months ago. I have shot par 4 times since. Do you want it? Then go take it.
