just started with 3skills

[Pmac]

Hi dont know if any one is still looking at this forum but after reading all the threads i had to give this a go.First off i have just started playing regular golf again this season after a 5 year lay off.My handicap has always been around the 20 to 17 area but never able to get any lower i am curretly off 19.I searched for the book on line but couldn't find it anywhere so i called Joe Hagan and he sent me a copy,which i recieved last saturday.I read the book from cover to cover on saturday night and went out on sunday in a stableford comp off my 20 handycap and came in with 40 points,winning my division and getting a 1 stroke cut.I went to the range to practice just skill 1 mid week and played yesterday,friday, off the yellow tees at my course and shot 43 points off my new hanycap.I have always been the type of golfer who analyzes my swing down to the last degeee so to play with a clear mind is a revalation to me.I finally feel like i can go on and reach my full potential with the 3 skills method.

Cheers
Paul

Hi and welcome to the site.

3 Skills seems to work better for some people than others, i think that if you can really let go of swing thoughts and focus fully on the skills then it can be a great way for many golfers to improve.

Hi Brian,
thanks for the welcome, i have along way to go with the 3skills but any thing that stops me over analyzing my swing is good.The thing thats got me is that in both rounds since getting the book, is that after abad hole i have followed it with a par,when i normally try to sort out what went wrong and then have another bad hole then another.I am now really looking forward to each round.I will keep posting my results on here.

Cheers
Paul

Hi There,

It has been a fair few years now since my switch to 3Skills Golf, and like you spent endless hours perfecting my swing to no avail, only getting in my own way.

I have been a member here since the website started and used to enjoy giving advice, however the only advice I could offer now is 3SKs....

Indeed it has changed my game forever, I do drift into swing thought now and then if I am playing badly, but sitting down and reverting back to 3SKs sorts it back out, it is as the book says the only thing you should focus on as hitting the ball correctly is the only task required.

Still loving 3SKs.

Ian.
