Normally when it comes to golf I can shrug off a bad shot, round, putt, week, month, but this is really starting to get to me. I have been really trying to fix my swing since the season ended and I have made no progress, even whilst trying to do the right things. I just can't seem to put it together. I'll think I have one key to focus on, but then something else comes up or someone says something to make me think otherwise. I have watched ALL of the videos, read all the books, scoured the forums, tried all the drills and have devoured anything else I could get my hands on. I just can't get my body to do it.
I am very athletic, have played sports all my life and continue to play rugby and baseball competitively even 2 years after college. I have never, ever struggled with ANYTHING as much as I have with golf. It's infuriating and I am contemplating using my time in other endeavors. I don't want to quit, but I am wasting so much time and money being terrible that continuing to invest in something that has offered little return on my time is becoming foolish.
The last thing I am going to try is professional lessons. After that, I'm done.
The crux of my entire swing, is that I am ALL ARMS and no lower body. What's stupid is that I can put up big squat numbers like no ones business, yet can't figure out this stupid swing or game.
Someone please calm me down. Brian or anyone else. Also, if anyone has a highly recommended instructor in Minneapolis please let me know.
