Most amateur golfers do not improve very much unless they pay a top notch teacher to help them improve their technique. Even then most amateurs gradually lose whatever improvements they've made, even when they spend a lot of time practicing what they've learned..
Those amateurs that go it alone and simply practice, practice, practice, make only nominal gains when compared to the amount of time they spend swinging at the driving range.
Why? Don't ask! "Why" is the worst question that can be asked A better question is HOW!! How can they spend so much time trying to improve and not improve? Here's the answer:
Often a bad swing on the course is the result of physical issues, muscle fatigue, mental fatigue, dehydration. The golfer quickly makes a half-ass assessment of his bad swing and makes adjustments on the next swing - which is likely to be different but affected by the same issues, i.e. fatigue, etc. The golfer gets more and more frustrated and less and less able to make optimal changes. This is even more evident on the practice range. Most golfers hit as many balls as they can, as quickly as they can, deluding themselves into thinking that if they keep at it they will find the "right swing". Couldn't be more wrong. The muscles and ligaments and bobolinks do not have time to rest and recover, and as practice continues the effect is greater and greater and ...THE GOLFER ENDS UP PRACTICING HOW TO MAKE A BAD SWING!!. Your game does not improve and may even get worse.
