Why they are Pros?
 

So Pros can drive 300 yards +, stick it within 3 feet with your 9-iron and read greens like the TV guide.There's no magic formula - you've got the tools but you're not using them properly.

Knowing how many shots you can get up and down in is a skill Pros learn when they know how far they generally hit it.

It's a fact that the short lofted clubs are the ones you'll be using the most. And if you haven't got great feel, you'll spend a lot of time hitting through greens or fluffing it in the fringe. Look at Phil Mickelson - his short game is incredible, he very rarely misjudges a shot. Pros know their wedge.

Cold, cruel fact. To go pro you're going to have to be playing a lot - three times or more a week minimum, ideally five or more. Of course, once you get your skills then you can maybe back off a bit.

If you've been playing regularly for more than a few years then you've probably passed the point of no return. Sure, you could get good but you'll never be really good. Of course we're talking about older players here too - Tiger started when he was less than a year old!

Really? Is that all it takes? :laughing9

I've heard this before...
 

I don't buy into this conventional "logic". I attended the San Diego Golf Academy in 1997 and they told me that if I wasn't shooting under par already I never would. I was a 15 handicap at the time. Today, 8 months after discovering TGM/LBG, I have dropped from a 7.4 index to a 5.2 index (trending 4.9) and broke par for the first time in early July 2009. My last two scores have been 74 and 73 and I plan on making a trip into the 60's any day.
This is coming from a guy that was stuck between an 8 and 9 index for the past 10 years or so. I'm thrilled. I plan on being scratch or better within the next 8 months.
