I watch a ton of golf. I have found that if I can picture myself doing what I have been watching I tend to make some improvements. Not always because some things just aren't for everyone.
I know lessons. I'm working on it.
Anyone else do this, or have done this?
i tend to do that sometimes. the big thing i do is see how pga players handle themselves. cause i can't visualize the swing for a lot of people. now i try real hard to put fred couples swing on my swing. but thats hard to do.
I will use something like that for my tempo. I'll try to envison Ernie or Freddie's tempo as I practice, it works for me.
I DID THAT A LOT WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. NOW THAT I AM OLDER I DON'T DO IT MUCH. THE SHIP IS STARTING TO SINK!!! I WANT TO LEARN TO ENJOY WHAT I HAVE LEFT IN ME

LAST YEAR I HAD 3 EAGLES--MORE THAT THE PREVIOUS 5 YEARS COMBINED.
WHAT A WONDERFUL GAME !!!
tempo and a solid pre-shoy routine are what I try and pick up from the pros. It is amazing how the routine they use never really changes. Think that really helps with making your shot similar everytime you step up to the ball.
I watch a lot of players both on the Golf Channel and those that I have seen out on the course or range. I can easily see mistakes or things that won't work for me. Occasionally, I see someone that has a swing similar to mine, I try to hone in on what would and wouldn't work for me. Just like reading through Golf and Golf Digest, most hints are not for me. I do find those nuggets that I can work on that will help my game. Fortunately, my swing may not be perfect but I do have good tempo.
I don't try to copy anyones swing or anything but I do try to pick up on their focus and the importance of a pre-shot routine.
i can watch and get the other things about the game. how to handle yourself on the course and everything else. does that make sense to everyone?
modeling is a great way to learn and improve. watching pros hit shots makes me think i will improve the next time out. that hasn't happened yet - but it will this season.
This is how I have improved greatly. I am a very visual learner and have never had a real lesson. I watch a lot of TGC to help me out!
I watched some of the old Bobby Jones footage the other day and it really helped.....much to Mr. Mizuno's suprize.
Now all I have to do is find a video of someone hitting bunker shots over and over...
I just try to "be the ball"

Are you sure that considering the sport you want to.
I will leave it at that because we need to keep it clean.
