Default Good Athletes can shoot 78-84

with only minor adjustments........ hockey players pick up golf the easiest as the slap shot is a good impact position

Baseball, Basketball, Footballers are athletic enough to get into that range because they have body control, they just need to know how to us it

The proper lessons can make you a better ball striker and it should lower scores, BUT, if you play not knowing what to do(how to move) for different shots, the score won't get lower. BUT, as an athlete you have a gift most don't, and they can get into the 78-84 range without that advantage.

It all comes back to methodology...........

Unlike other sports where practice seems to improve your game, golf seems to be unwilling to conform.

If anyone knows a golf pro who charges by score improvement, I would pay double the going rate, or nothing at all.
