Don't you have an instructor? Is he not putting you on a plan? Where are you losing strokes?

Chipping and putting mainly. But my instructor found my swing should a mess we have been working on a major swing change for several months. So my handicap went up before it has finally started to go back down again.Don't you have an instructor? Is he not putting you on a plan? Where are you losing strokes?

Swing changes are... well hell on earth. Look what it has done to Tiger. An extremely talented golfer.

Okay let's just say below 10.0 handicap. And let's agree to work with a teaching Pro. Likewise let's agree that it may be a 24-48 month time period.
So what would a 10 week cycle look like to start the journey.

Understood. But how best to create a schedule for short game improvement.In a recent thread you said you have been working with a pro for a while.
You went to blades and you were hitting 60-70% of fairways.
You said you really struggled with your short game.
If all of those are accurate (based on your posts), then it seems pretty clear you need to work on your short game because the rest of the stuff was already single digit golfer. So it appears pretty easy. Work on the short game, keep the blades and you should be single digit in like 10 weeks.
I have followed along in the other thread and believe you to be a superior ball striker. With that in mind, I think it is extremely possible for you to go from 20 to 10 in 10 weeks. Most people can't get the ball in the fairway. You have a massive leg up. Massive.Okay let's just say below 10.0 handicap. And let's agree to work with a teaching Pro.

I'm an information geek and have gained a lot of knowledge from the THP community. So again I humbly wonder out loud.I think, if you're going to be working with a pro, this is a question that you should ask him or her. They're the ones that are going to be telling you what to work on, and any suggestions here might be in conflict with that.

No worries my brother. Honesty may be the best answer.Id say it's impossible and just becoming scratch in general is freaking hard. You better have a sh!t ton of time to dedicate to golf. You're a 20 cap and the road to scratch will be a looooooong one lol not being rude but it's the harsh truth
That sounds all most to good to be true.go to the chipping green/practice area... chip & putt for an hour everyday
That sounds all most to good to be true.
I have been practicing about 3 hours a day. Full Swing only. So one hour to putting and chipping should not be out of the question.

I agree that this is a topic best saved for your pro. I went from 17.6 to 10.4 in a season. I had a putting lesson. G O L D. I already knew short game technique but lesson(s) corrected slippage. I spent a lot of time practicing. I made stuff up to create ways to practice - who knows if it was a good way or not? (this is why I say talk to your pro). One thing I did was take a shag bag out to an open area and drop balls all over the place, then play them as they lie to a bucket. Repeat hitting different types of shots. Another one I liked to do was take a single ball, throw it somewhere in the fringe or first cut around the practice green and work my way around every hole. At first my goal was to never take more than 3 shots to get up and down. Then my goal was to get up and down. There were assorted putting drills. But again, see how it was somewhat haphazard? A pro will get you going with a more meaningful plan.I'm an information geek and have gained a lot of knowledge from the THP community. So again I humbly wonder out loud.
Maybe some has a great idea or plan to share.

Nice advice about the elephant. Baby steps to successI think the best thing you could do once you find an instructor is to develop that 10 week plan with him or her and stick to it, the only one that can assess your progress is the teacher and he or she is the only one you should really rely on for guidance in reaching those goals. They will assess your gear, your swing, your mental capactity, your talent, and only you can assess your drive for success.
Scratch golf is an elephant and you can only eat it one bite at a time, never get discouraged at the lack of progress either because if you're honestly working hard success can be found in the next couple hundred buckets of balls.
That sounds all most to good to be true.
