Matt –
The idea of 3 classifications of golfers is really interesting. I think what happens is one progresses from one classification to the next, meaning we all start out thinking we can beat the course on our own terms (as we learn some swing fundamentals), then realize that no matter how “good” we get our scores don’t improve until we make certain adjustments in our thinking. Perhaps those who don’t change from the initial attitude end up being the “smarter than all” golfers, those who give up “winning” become the second group of having fun golfers, and those struggling to improve their scores by playing smarter and looking at data and strategies become the winning type of golfer. It is important to know which category one is, why we play golf, and what we really want out of the game.

Excellent writing.
Fully agreed.
Am on your side. But sometimes ‘ego’ takes over sply at my home club.
I know that, will take care more.

Thanks

This might be the best article on golf i have ever read. FANTASTIC ADVICE A for me I win everytime i get the ball flight i envisioned before the swing. To me the score is secondary. However my score is slowly but surpriseingly improves I am 70 years young. Started at 63. Having the time of my life.

Excellent article and advice Matt. I joined a semi private club a few years ago and am able to play regularly finally. I started playing in a skins game and realized how much my putting and short game were lacking, which was key to being competitive. I now spend as much or more time practicing chipping, putting and bunker shots as i do on the range. Chipping and putting are now a strength of my game and i win more than i lose. Sand game is better but still needs work
