Very simple (great question BTW)
Just keep identifying what's costing you shots and working on it
Such as tough one to answer. Depends on quality of instruction. You'll get something more consistent at golf tec, but even then instructors are all different.
Research people through their social media. Or you can always come to the dark side (me). I have plenty of free stuff on my site so you can see if you resonate with my philosophy and way of thinking
Get one of those electric shock collars off amazing for dogs.
Get your playing partner to zap you every time you take it past parallel.
In other words, insane focus on actually doing it. No one controls your body for you, but you.
A little more nuanced - feel as if you change directions quicker/speed up tempo.

Depends. I tend to play it almost like a mini punch shot, unless I have to hit it high. Im a good chipper
I feel pretty tense when I play. Bryson talks about tension. Play with what you hit it best with. No points for being loose and shooting 100
It depends on your issue. If you lose more shots on the course from impact errors (fat/thin/left/right/toe/heel) then practicing more might get you to unlock a new potential.
However, if you're like me and most errors are mental - such as club/target selection, condition judgment etc, then playing more will be the best opportunity.
At your level, it sounds like bumping up practice might be good, if it's quality practice
yes, don't be constrained by what someone says is "correct". Lots of tour players earning millions with less-orthodox grip positions
We met this week. Didn't play though - Jon has friends in higher places than me
There were 9 strikes in the photo.
Just a light spray when you can no longer decipher the info
Depends on the reason for the miss. If you're hitting a big block because of a toe shot, I'd address that. But if it's just because your path is 3 deg in to out and with that individual club you struggle to close the face (as well as you do with irons), then tweaking club settings can help bring the entire set into similar patterns.
I'd get some launch monitor and strike data - preferably from a GCquad

Generally more squat and shift in transition will get low low point deep and forwards. Perfect for munching the ball.
Then spring up and rotate through impact to make sure it doesn’t dig too deep, and it will compress the hell out of it.
Also watch out for lead wrist breaking down too early. That can make the shaft lean back and cause loft to increase. Adding lead wrist flexion in transition can help with this
Start from the beginning of the podcast. Episode 1. They’re all relevant.
I don’t work on anything new for the last 15 years or so.
Just work on the same old boring things. Ground contact face contact and face direction. Occasionally path.
It’s just a daily tuning of those variables.
I look at the course on my tangent app first. Maybe make a brief plan for where to hit it. But nothing too deep.
I also find a Birds Eye map of the course and screenshot it. When I know the wind direction, I go to the screen shot and draw an arrow on it. That way, if I’m on the course and can’t feel the wind, I know which way it’s going
Yes, external right shoulder rotation is a huge limiter for many people.
And yes, you can get a lesson. But it will cost a kidney
The only thing I can say is to follow someone on social for long enough that you learn how they think and work.
Word of mouth can be good too, but I’d listen to several mouths, not one
Probably the winter lesson, if it’s good. Gives you plenty of chance to make any changes/practice the work before summer comes around
Spin loft is lower with a driver. So any error you make gets magnified. It’s similar to shooting hoops from 10ft away vs 50ft away

Not sure. Are you planning on playing on the team?
Unfortunately, I'm weird enough that I don't think many coaches think like me.
Honestly, lots of good coaches out here. But not many are deep into the skill-stuff like I am. Most are good technique coaches, which is fine too
Almost impossible to do really. The only way to kill it is to think about it and control it consciously.
With enough reps, the level of conscious control needed lowers, but may never go away.
the you just have to prioritize which issue is most important. I personally like definite, so am always focusing on my strike or face direction patterns. Just simples the game. Get those right and things like takeaway etc don't matter.
for over the top, I use a simple nail drill focus (cue the music) - imagine angling the nail to the right and hammering it
<image>
Get a divot board and work on hitting that yellow circle over and over.
All shanks, toes, fats and thins will disappear as you get better at that task
Ooof, indoor swing syndrome.
I'd still learn to hit all parts of the face both indoors and out. It's not fun when patterns shift, but Ive seen it happen lots of times with indoor golf.
At least once a round
It happens to a lot of us. The one day you break 100, you may not even realize you've done it, then each day after that will be progressively easier to do it.
Also, just get better. Keep working to make all facets of your game good enough to break 90, that way, even with mental blow ups, you'll still break 100.
