Can i do it

My personall best index is a 5.2 about 2 years ago, but since I lost my swing after that I ballooned up to a 8.5. Now that all the things I have been taught by john over the last six months are coming togethor, I am playing better and I am more consistent. On march 7th I was carrying a handicap of 8.2, as of my posting today I am now a 5.6. On the 29th of this month I am leaving to go surfing for six weeks so my goal is to by then be below a 5. I will be playing at least 6 times or so and in the last ten rounds my highest post has been an 83, with 3 of the last four being in the 70's.. SO the question is Can I do it? I can, and I will.

nevermind,
went out today and shot a 75 and an 80 on a course with a high rating and now I am at a 4.9 guess now I need to try and get below 4 before I go

Hi Shootin,
Thats great scoring, well done. I dont think you have much work to do on your game. Anyway, if you loose any more shots you are not going to have much room for error.

HI ALL.
The reason that Shootin posts such low scores is because he is a firm believer ( as i am ), in the importance of practicing solid fundamentals.

Well done pal....regards Terry

thanks terry,
I have played this game for six years and six months ago I was on the verge of quitting, but now I love the game again. beyond set up I have consciously changed VERY little, basically just cupping back the right hand and keeping spine angle. Once I understood the concepts behind and the importance of set up, I was able to put together all the thing that I have read over the last few years. I now see the swing so much clearer now and understand any "secrets" are just minor tweaks that individuals do for their swings

i guess in golf funormentals mean that if you do them you will have fun, if not you will go mental.

posted a ho hum 78, index now at 4.8. Last 7 rounds two highest scores are 81 and 80, rest in the seventies. Got to get one round at par before I leave for vacation.

another update,
posted a 79 on a fairly hard course
73.2 132
index now at a 4.6 but a very low round will come off after todays round so I hope I shoot low today
