t'Internet troubles

I believe this is the stage where I avidly started researching the golf swing on the internet, I watched hundreds of video clips, read articles by the score. Started to participate in internet forums asking questions on technique. In between this I kept whacking balls as often as I could often trying to teach myself from the clips I had watched, searching as ever for a better strike, some consistency and to reduce the duff shots that happened with all to a frustrating frequency.

This is when I became aware of different swing models, two plane, one plane, stack and tilt etc, etc. Without the knowledge to know the fundamentally differences this self tinkering did not produce the desired results and by the time of my next lesson with the pro I was a mess of confused swing thoughts.

Looking back it is near suicide to try and assimilate all the guff on you tube when you don't have a clue about the swing, but I guess its all too common and almost impossible not to. Strong minded indeed would be the person who trusts in the pro and does not try to self help via the internet and printed media.

This started a phase of me second guessing my lessons that was to prove wholly destructive to progress.
