Wedges and Experience

[faldo]

Thanks stanley.

Of course your mileage may vary, but these are the tips I used to improve....

Breaking:

110 - learning solid contact - hitting the ball on the clubface consistently.

100 - swing plane - hitting the ball on plane with a square clubface.

90 - chipping, putting and short irons.

80 - getting fitted clubs and working on putter, wedge and driver.

(please note that getting fitted clubs will help you no matter what handicap you are)

Also, each of these levels pretty much requires you to put in more time on the course. To break 100, you have to play or practice every week. To break 80, you have to play or practice at least 3 times a week. And in all cases, you'll get more out of your practice if you get professional advice.

Spidey, how do you compare getting fitted clubs to gettting a full slate of lessons?? I'm worried that after getting the "perfect" clubs for me & then getting instruction that the series of lessons would have changed my swing so drastically that the clubs would be useless??

Thanks,
