Nelson and Peete are the only 2 I can think of who started playing in their 20's.

Jerry Kelly didn't get serious till college.

I have been on a quest to get this questioned answered for 2 years.

I know it is different. How does an adult go about learning an efficient golf swing? Kids have it easy....the power of imitation is great, but we start losing it when we turn 18 or so. Then our analytical side takes over and when that happens you are doomed at high level golf unless there was a system to overcome it. It has been said that you need to be really smart or really stuipid to play golf at a high level.

I picked up a club for the first time when I was 20 and my college baseball team went to the driving range for fun. I got serious about golf when I turned 25.

Here I am 7 yrs. later and I am a 5 handicap. But...I still piece it together every round. Some days I putt great, some days I hit a lot of greens. The only thing I can really say I am "good" at is chipping and pitching.

To me this would be the holy grail of golf....how to get an adult to regain the imitative powers of youth. Would hypnosis work? Or a detailed program to learn as an adult?
