Forbes Welcome
"The second explanation is that golf remains too difficult, and despite great technological advances that have allowed the best players (pros) to greatly increase their distance, better equipment hasn’t done much (if anything) for the recreational golfer, which is to say most golfers. In stark comparison, skiing, which enjoyed a resurgence amidst golf’s downturn, coupled dramatically user-friendly improvements in equipment with more sophisticated and standardized instruction to greatly accelerate the learning process. Today, a rank novice can take a single day of lessons and be skiing beginner trails from top to bottom. Not so for golf, which has seemingly been unable to do anything to shorten its onerous learning curve, long at best and in many cases, lasting the golfer’s entire life."
My idea is how to reduce the learning curve by incorporating drills [the 3 ft circle and smaller cup] within the game. You pick it up when it's in the circle to maintain pace of play.
