I've been around here for a few years now. Reworked my entire swing based on Brian's videos: started with NSA which was a revolution for me (despite playing golf for over 20 years, much of it competitive), moved on to take bits from SD and NHA, and finally customized a pattern that I think fits me. In that time I've had one lesson with Brian (my first lesson in almost 25 years), played with Damon twice, and learned A LOT from all the other Manzella instructors and the consistent contributors to this board.
This spring I put in place what I thought might be the final piece of "my pattern," trying to get a little less steep on the downswing. Well, at least for now, it seems to have worked: for the past month I've hit more really good golfs shots than I can ever recall.
And over the past week I had a lot of luck go my way: played a very solid round on a fairly easy "city park" like course about a week ago, made some birdies coming in, and broke 70. Then yesterday played a really hard course from the tips, in the wind, hit 13/14 fairways and just absolutely made everything I looked at, plus a chip in. I finished with 22 putts (as I said, the luck was going my way), but I ended up breaking 70 again, but this time on a course that I'd never shot better than 75 on (it's 7300 from the tips and a real beast in the wind).
So I just wanted to say thinks to everyone for the help. More important to me than a couple of good rounds is the fact that for the first time in my golf life I feel like I have some sense of what's going on in the golf swing. That wouldn't have happened without brianmanzella.com.
cheers!
