Donn,

I think it's pretty clear what his goal is...

I have a goal . . . maybe too ambitious . . . but you have to dream.

I am 36 years old . . . have to a job, lil' foolz and what's-her-name that take up a bunch of my time . . .

BUT!

I would like to get to scratch by the time I'm 38. You have said it's all about process. This may be a little different process but what kind of plan, process and practice would you suggest for me to achieve my big audicious goal???

In order to get to scratch, there is a lot more to it than just "the geometry." While it's fantastic to know so much information (I am honestly envious of most everyone on this forum who can understand so much of TGM), there's more to playing the game than just making sure your alignments are all in order. There is also more to improving your game than just hitting practice balls, no matter what area of your game you are working on.

Developing your skills to the level you desire is important; you can't shoot 68 if you aren't good enough to shoot 68 . But having the skills required to shoot 68 is completely different from actually being able to shoot 68.
