my lower back would be on fire

otherwise I'm sure it'd help me, my short game has always been my downfall

what he said.....but I will be trying it...so great all the help you are willing to offer on here with very little reward....Thanks!

Yeah, you absolutely have to take a break every few minutes and stretch the back! It makes it more fun if you grab a buddy & bet who can achieve the goal first.

I get a lot of rewards out of this! I love hearing the success stories & the ability to help others through a forum is amazing! It's really a lot of fun for me, and it's a different challenge, not being in front of the student - plus I have to choose my words wisely!

This is a great forum, and hopefully, I'm helping a few players improve! There have really been some great questions & discussions on here as well!

maybe I'm a nerd but this looks very sweet, and very challenging. I can definitely fall into the category of being a range rat and not paying attention to my short game enough.

doc,

only question I have is the "land & stop on the green" for pitching and irons: is the exercise meant to get you to land the ball on the green and then stop it, or just get the ball to rest on the green period, no matter where it first lands? nitty question...

No you're not a "nerd" - it's fun to hit full shots, but it's really fun to shoot your career low after working on the short shots!

It's really designed to land on & then stop it through solid contact. In other words, a shot hit thin may hit the green but run off the back, or a chunked shot may land short and trickle on the green. On the course, occasionally you may get away with those, but for this exercise, you want to develop the touch to land a ball a certain distance, then control the spin to stop it. Honestly, when I'm on the range with a student, I'm pretty liberal with what is on & what isn't - if you hit a shot solid & it stops on the fringe, I'll give you that. I'm well aware that target greens on most ranges are not the same as a green on the course, coupled with old, beat up range balls & it's a little different than what will happen on the course. So if it's solid & pretty close, I'll count it.

Have fun & let me know your feedback after you give it a try!

i like it, because of the motivational checkmark thing
So you can go through this routine and see what you have done at the end of the day You also see where the problems come up, etc.
Although its very tough i can almost feel my hands and back while reading ^^
Gonna try it tomorrow (atm i have lots of time )
I bet i need 6+ hours aswell, coming back crying ^^

You'll enjoy it! Don't wear yourself out - give it a shot & see what areas need more improvement than others.

Give me a report after you try it tomorrow!

this is AWESOME.

(I'm a high teen handicap)

I'm very excited to try this out once the rainy season ends in NorCal. I spend a lot of time doing the things I am already decent at (chipping, pitching), and no time doing the things I am terrible at (lag putting, short putts). I'm glad that this focuses so much on putting and lag putting, and I'm excited to jump right into this once the area dries out.

Thanks Rock! Hope it helps!

Thanks! I hope it helps! Let me know what you think once you get a chance to try it! What part of NorCal? I have some good friends in that area - God's Country! I'll be out in the San Fran/Napa area this summer - I can't wait, I love it out there!

Rob,

I cant thank you enough for your contribution to this forum. I'm definitely going to try this.

I'm also in Norcal, the East Bay and play a lot in Napa. I'm assuming you don't have to pay for most golf rounds, so all your beers are on me when you come to the area.

made it through the 25 3 foot putts...it was extremely hard bc of 30 mph winds today. I did miss on the 25th one, one of the times...was so frustrating.

wanted to be sure on the lag putts that the radius is 3ft...meaning can miss in any direction by 3 foot?

I am a 10 right now and I am determined to be at least a 6 by the end of the season.

You say to do program A for 2 weeks...how many times would you expect a mid-handicapper to complete this in 2 weeks? I feel that it would take me 2 weeks just to get through this once!
