How do you get better? It's really simple, you find a competent PGA instructor, and you establish a long term relationship. You establish a plan and implement the plan. You work on your swing, and only when you discover your swing plane/swing path do you invest in fitting and new clubs. I'm a member at 2 clubs, and there are about 20 guys that can really play in my little circle. 90% of them have a teacher. Great golf doesn't just happen, it takes a lot of work. Last night my Head Pro was on the range with his guy tinkering with something, he has a Tee Time Thursday at Quail Hollow. The journey never ends!
