Shortcuts to Improvement?

“Practice is the best of all instruction.”
-Aristotle 

Believing in shortcuts for improvement is equivalent to walking on thin ice, as it can crack at any time, leaving you stuck with a sinking swing.

When did work become a skill? Working hard doesn’t demand talent but rather relies on the attributes of self-discipline: motivation, energy for practice, and disciplined repetition. Starting fresh in the New Year, we can summon new energy for our game. Discipline is the fire to persevere even when motivation wanes, shaping character and propelling us down the fairway of excellence

In the realm of improvement, the equation is simple: Quality Repetition + Accurate Feedback = Progress.Sorry fellow golfers, there are no shortcuts in golf.
