I very much like your teaching method. Very strict and precise. No quick fixes, just solid instruction, in my opinion. Thank you from Portugal 🇵🇹 you are a great help to a senior.
Always happy to help all golfers around the world play this crazy game we all love so much. Wishing you much success with the ladder drills. Let me know if you need any help along the way.
I feel the exact same way! I'd rather hit the ball how I want to hit it but have a bad score than to have a good score based off luck. Minor adjustments can fix good ball striking with bad scores. However, you can't adjust luck.

We just over seeded the practice tee where I teach at. They are trying to get a little more growth out of the rye grass before we start tearing it up. So I am having to use that mat right now which is less than ideal but gets the job done.
A few weeks ago I was working on contact and I was struggling with hitting shots just a little fat pretty consistently, which is how it’s been for 30 years. I often used the idea to try to hit in front of the ball an inch or two, but it didn’t seem to help. So I decided to try to exaggerate it like crazy, like lots of instructors preach with almost any change. I decided to try to hit 6 or 7 inches in front of the ball and hit it thin every time. Then I would dial it back until the contact was good. To my surprise, the first swing where I tried to hit 7 inches in front absolutely blasted the ball. It felt amazing, the ball went much further than ever, and the ball flight was incredible. It was a real “what the $^%# was that?!” Moment. It just seemed impossible that the low point could be that far forward. I was giggling like a little girl as I hit a couple more. I’m pretty convinced that I went my entire life without making good contact with the ball up until that swing. My scores back that up. 😂 BTW, I drove my first par 4 the other day. Only a 280 yard green, but I rolled through to the back fringe. I couldn’t believe it. And yes, I three putted from the fringe for par.
@@MyGolfDNA I think it's because we are paying for that bucket of balls on the range. We don't want to "waste" balls. Getting a mat and some practice balls for the back yard unlocked new ways of practicing for me where I didn't have to worry about the cost.
Has to be the best drill/Warmup I've ever seen. Something completely useful!
Your instruction is GREAT!! Wish I would have found you 25 years ago.
I’m glad you found me now, as it’s always better late than never right? Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated.

Step one of this ladder with each club can be a great tool for chipping.
Why to you have the ball raised on the mat?

Awesome comment!!!!! Exaggeration is what scares most students.
