Do not you improve? Are you getting worse?

I believe there are two keys in the amateur player to improving the swing: first, understanding what happens when the clubface hits the ball and how that impact is largely determined by what we have done before moving the club, and second, paying more attention to perceive what is being done instead of thinking about what has to be done.

Both issues allow you to develop a smart muscle memory. And enjoy the variability of the swing.

On the other hand, reducing the handicap is something that happens almost always. You just have to play some tournaments in your club and practice from time to time.

But most of us want to improve our swing and our game and that our improvement is truly reflected.

And in the desire to improve itself is where a serious and common problem arises: many amateur players try to improve spending a lot of time and effort, with more will than strategy and either end up with a very small room for improvement or unfortunately, leaving the golf.

Thousands of balls badly impacted, sometimes resulting in more injuries than anything else, many specific tips (live and videos) which are not assimilated and a growing feeling that so many hours of practice are not productive and the few hours in the course are not enjoyed.

The room for improvement is wasted reaching a seemingly insurmountable point. Frustration appears and sometimes its worst consequence: golf is abandoned.

On many other times, sterile progress turns the amateur into a very limited player: chronic technical errors, a lot or little practice but almost always without profit and specific shots barely trained. And finally, a loss of consistency and of confidence every time we play.
