Pro level
Now, this means, I be playing the dispersion pattern at half and most likely at a 5% or less level, as a note a good golfer like a pro, often has a 10% or so dispersion pattern at the european tour.
Now, if we then add the requried distance, the sense I have about wholeness playing the game this year, I am excited to note, how this is going to work for me.
I know already from the tests I have had conducted, I hit the ball better, further and straighter and I know how to do so consistently now.
I dont know my distances yet, I know they be longer, but how much more?
Now, I dont think about that much, I will get a check later and if I need more, I will add some speed traning as my technique now is good enough for the purpose I aim to do this year.
I aim to lower my index with 9 shots, to get down to scratch in 3 months.
That is not possible for a golfer, and anyone tells me that.
I just know, I got a great swing system behind me that I use, and I got the practice that shows me I am on track for a great year.
Now, obviously I do lack some expereince, some shots I need to learn, and then all that I got time to practice during this year and next as for now its just learning to do the most simple thing.
Hit it straight, it hit long and be accurate and consistent.
Now, any special shots I take them later as for now its all about using this, adapt and score really low.
My first test is 23-25 of april, then I be playing back tee from a long course, and that be a good test for my new swing and skills.
I aim to shoot around par.
If so, my index should drop considerably already then.
Well see.

Carving new territory
Its in my belief that symple swing as a system will be a great system if one wants to play on a golf tour. Now, many would assume, just because it isn't used out there on a tour it ain't good.
Now, as we investigate the swing, we can say, if the system has the same distance but use less timing to accomplish that, it seems feasible that the motion then should acquire followers that want to make money.
Now, a pro already using another system wont change, unless someone else coming that beats them consistently.
It is true in any sport where new inventions has come along, high jump with flosbury flop, ski jumping, and other sports suddenly shifted gear and technique over a season.
So, I decided, lets find out how good I can be using this system.
So, set a goal, make me go from 9 in handicap, to scratch under one summer and then qualify for the national tour here. If it works, I better be ready to qualify for the European tour in a year. And I am 46 years old.
Now, anyone who knows golf will tell you, it cant be done, its not possible its impossible.
Do you know how many people who tries and fails?
Lucky for me, I ain't them.
I believe the system has merit, in fact so much it will be the future used swing system as it is the best there is, mechanically. Now, technique isn't the thing that makes us great, its the way we are able to use the system for our benefit.
I am not naive, I need to increase distance, and accuracy, if I get those two right, I got the game in the rest to shoot low scores.
So, I work at it.
Exciting times.

It is perfect
So this year I worked hard to be on plane, to deliver the clubface along the path it should be on.
I never did that before, I thought I did but when checked showed I wasnt.
so last year I could play golf, it became fun.
This year I have worked hard and continue to do so until the summer and golf courses open up.
I feel good about golf, i feel good about what it feels like at the moment.
But the real test is, does it work at the range and then does it work playing?
Can I meet my crtieria of distance, can I be accurate, well many qeustions and soon I get my answers.

Hit it straight an accident?
After a while Hogan tapped Moe on the shoulders and said, kid, keep hitting those "accidents".
I started this spring with some lofty goals, I choosed Symple swing as the tool to get me there.
One reason alone, they said a few things about their swing,
- You hit it further, which is good.
- You have better acuracy, which is even better.
- Its simple and easy to learn, now that I really liked.
- You need less timing and now they got my attention.
I ordered the dvd´s a month ago, I sat down watched them and started to ingrain and practice what they taught.
4 weeks later I am hitting a lot of accidents.
In fact so many I start to feel like that canadian Moe Norman.
I played a round yesterday, I equal my personal best that I made 2 years ago on a day when I made everything and shot a 78.
Now when I made 78 I didnt make any birdies and still played really well and the best thing is, it was so easy.
To hit the ball straight to need less timing to square the golfclub to the ball, to minimize the lower body to take away all uneeded motions we do in the golfswing is the idea in Symple Swing.
Still swing offers great distance, improved acuracy, faster to learn, and also with the built in idea of making a self correction system so if you would not make those accidents, you then know what to do to correct them.
Simple and easy, golf made fun.
That was what it felt like out there, I just aimed, and hit and the ball went straight.
It was the most fun and best day of my golf game ever.
People who plays golf seldom takes time to learn the basics - the fundementals properly.
This is a must to do since when the swing is learned and ingrained and habitual, you just play and dont worry about your golfshots where they are going since you already know that, and yes its down the line straight!
What makes the symple swing system unique are some basic elements,
- The grip, using the thumb and sqare wrist, allow a on plane clubhead at all times.
- The stance, lower body movement are limited to teach proper bodymotion.
- The power comes from bigger muscles and not just hands and arms.
- The self correction system, making analyze of the swing flaws easy to spot and find.
Obviously I am also using my own developed model of learning and improving performance in sports with my background from NLP and the coaching of a pro golfer learning the system.
Many people when playing golf gets emotinal, the nature of the game is that the instruction we get is not that good.
Golf instructions fail to take into account that still today the normal average amatur shoots 97.
Now, this is how good todays instructions are and how good the golf pro´s are in general.
What this means is several things, one is that the swing seems to be harder to learn than any ohter motion in sports, two the instructions is good enough.
The truth is that both are wrong.
Learning a motion is all about ingraining the proper sensation/feel when the position of the body is in the right and proper alignment with the shots to be made, when that is done this after a while becomes a natural movement and motion that all the time can be focused on playing golf not fixing the swing.
The traditional Golf swing also has several elements or variables of timing.
The Symple Swing have been reasearched to find and make the key variables as few as possible and easy to learn.
However we must remember that a motion is a movement that we need to get a sensation or a feel in how its performed, we must also measure that feel/sensation to the position that is recomended from the swing system.
In essence, doing it technical correct and properly.
The Symple swing system makes this easier and also faster and then we can play better and have more fun at the golf course.
I shot a 78 with no birdies and feeling like I played a computer game since I hit it so straight.
It was great fun out there.
I am enjoying golf more than ever making a alot of "accidents".
