How Good Players Get Better
Frank Rapone of Swarthmore is a three-time club champ at The Springhaven Club and won an impressive eight straight club championships prior to that at FDR. Since I love to pick the brains of good players as well as professionals, it was a pleasure to run into Frank at Springhaven yesterday and do an interview.
So how did he get so good?
The good news -- a big part of it was embracing the nuances in his swing and just learning to play with it instead of constantly striving for perfection. The bad news: he has put in a lot of work. We're talkin' practice!
There's always a catch, isn't there?!! In golf, like life, there are few shortcuts. In this podcast, Rapone tells us about his game, his practice habits, and one of his favorite short-game shots. We begin with this question: What would he like to tell the rest of us non-elite players about how to get better?
