So You Say You Want to Be More Consistent?



After today’s G P S on-course golf lesson, Bob S. ‘gets it’.  

He said he wanted to be more consistent.

But every shot he hit on the golf course did something different than on the range.

We started with the ball below his feet and it went shorter and to the right.

Then we went to a ball above his feet and it went farther and to the left.

But then, we placed it in a ‘flyer’ lie below his feet and it went to the right and farther!

And then we placed the ball a little deeper in the rough above his feet and it went left and shorter!

Then we hit balls from a downhill lie (7 degrees) and it went lower, shorter in the air, but farther on the ground.

And then, we hit balls from an uphill lie and the ball went higher and both farther and shorter.

Then, we placed it in deep rough and it went really low, left, and very short.  So we opened his clubface and the ball went shorter, a little right, and it didn’t curve.  So he changed to a club 2 clubs longer and he hit it a foot from the pin.

But…

He was inconsistent.  Never once did it do what he did on the range.

Now he ‘gets it’.  

That's what G P S does.
