Head Pro
Me and my mate have been playing golf for almost 12 years now, we started together and I am now off 16 and he is off 26.
If anyone on here asks for advice on how to improve it’s guaranteed there will be answers along the lines of get lessons and get fitted for clubs that suit you. Well last year when he retired he had vouchers from work and his wife for a golf fitting session which he duly had and got a complete new set apart from putter which I think cost him almost £2000 in total. At the same time due to the fact he had retired and had spare time took lessons and started practicing a lot which is something he never used to do. One would think with this in place things would get better and handicap would start to come down, unfortunately the exact opposite has happened, he’s got worse, h/c on the rise and he’s not really enjoying things as much as he used to. Feel a bit sorry for him to be perfectly honest.
I’m not looking for any advice or anything, just simply stating that lessons and club fitting is not the magical answer to the problem for everyone.
