fins:I'd say diving
In golf, I can go out and practice on my own or pickup a quick lesson from a local pro. I can easily golf several days in a row, and you golfers know that when you play several days in a row you get much better.
In diving, I can't go practice on my own. I need a buddy. If we are to head to a pool for practice we can only do so certain evenings, at certain times. If we heading out to the local lake, or quarry...well there's the drive time, getting tanks filled etc. And there is the cost. As expensive as golf is, diving "can be" much more expensive.
Anyway, don't know if I added anythign to this thread or not but what the heck. Let's go paly 18 and then do a night dive
Interesting points. Do you think it's reasonable to equate a bad slice with bad buoancy control? And if so, which is harder to solve? Like you said, both require the time put in to practice. A bad slice is generally a fundamentally bad, outside in swing, starting from a bad (weak) grip and or not a full, 90 degree turn backswing. This is hard to change unless you can see yourself and really, really work on it. For me, and I did change my swing to where I now naturally draw the ball, it was a lot more time spent (actual hours practicing) than it took me to hover easily while diving.
With an 8-10 handicap, you're much better than average. (you do hit a provisional on an OB and don't just drop one in the fairway if you can't find it, hitting three?
)
