Yeah, you're not kidding that can be incredibly discouraging to us olds that have jobs, families and life commitments that can get in the way of grinding on drills 6 days a week. I'm coming into year 3 of my journey back into golf. It's incredibly frustrating knowing the kind of scoring I used to be capable of and what my game looks like now. I haven't had any professional instruction so my path will likely be longer but I am just now starting to see a little bit of promise from the things I've been working on for the past 2 off seasons. This will be my third offseason coming up and the first that I instead of trying to reinvent the wheel I'll just be doing a bit of maintenance type work.they work on the same drills 6 days a week for years. that can honestly be a little discouraging for us weekend warriors. when i look at my own journey, it's taken me almost 4 years to finally see some real progress that translates into better scoring. could i have done more? at first, i don't think so. for the first 2-3 years i grinded A LOT.
Your growth and trajectory in this thread has been really fun to catch up on and read through.
