These posts comprise an excellent discussion about technique and swing elements. I have one observation. When I watch other golfers they often slice only on the driver or maximum fairway wood. For many people the biggest issue seems...

I notice more variation in my day to day distances as I get older. Golf weather in my area isn't consistent until May. When I was younger after 7-10 days hitting balls I would know what my yardages were going to be for the season. Now...

I think adding a 4w is great advice. 64 degree wedge until you hit a LW 75 yards doesn't make sense to me. I doubt you should be chipping with sand wedges at this point anyway? Are you actually turning all of your short shots around...

Although they don't break my experience is they lose their stiffness quickly. Most aren't biodegradable also. I don't feel they are worth their cost premium.

It depends on the course but I usually carry 4 wedges. I drop the gap wedge for a strong 5w on a few longer courses. As a short hitter I almost never hit a 5w off the tee and 2 shot par 5s are a dream. If a course has a 185+ uphill...

I find this thread interesting. I feel effort, use of the hands and upper body in the golf swing exceedingly difficult, especially with the driver. It is so easy to over do effort keys in golf. Take lag, I spent years failing to...
