I'm pretty likely to get some pretty big practice sessions in this summer. I can finally afford a membership this year for the first time in a long time, and expect to get out 2-3 times a week after work, and then likely another once Saturday/Sunday. I was down to an 11 in highschool but went to school and got poor and haven't played any more than 10 rounds a summer until this past season.
I am not good (i.e. anywhere close to an 11) at golf now. I'll show shades of my former self on occasion (shot a +2 and +3 9 last year for the first time in probably 7 years), but I've broken 90 once or twice in my 20's.
Ball striking is ok for the most part... certainly not the problem anyway. Just no short game to speak of.
I went and bought a shag bag the other night, so I guess this is exactly what I was looking for. Going to read this whole thread over the next few days probably and go through this routine a few times over the summer.
