I was just looking on the Adams Tour Winter Series to see if my friend was playing today and I saw Doug Barron's name on the list. It doesn't look like he played though. May not be the same guy though?

What do you mean by above the ball?

I started with blades and play blades currently but the periods in my life where my hdcp was under bogey golf I was playing game improvement irons. But I was also playing a LOT more golf during those times too which is probably the more contributing factor

I'm a high handicap but I bang models and make 7 figures a year

That's awesome! I've been taking my 4 year old daughter out with me I haven't found any clubs for yet besides plastic ones but she just loves going out there with me. It can be kind of distracting but I've found that dealing with her out there can keep me from over analyzing my game during the round and I end up playing better. I can't wait to find some little clubs for her.

I shot a 60 on the front one day and a 45 on the back. My swing was gone so on the back I just started taking half swings and it worked out. a 105 was still pretty terrible though

What chaps my ass is when I duff a layup shot

When getting the body into this position on the downswing what should the feeling in the arms be?

Thanks for the replies. It has to be what you guys are saying about the hip action as thats' what my buddie's been telling me as well. I may need to break down and get a lesson.

Ok so I can hit the ball fairly straight most of the time. I can even work the ball some. My distance sucks though. My current distances are driver - 200 - 220 3w - 180 - 200 3i - 160 - 170 4i - 150 - 160 5i - 140 - 150 6i - 130 - 140 7i - 120 - 130 8i - 110 - 120 9i - 100 - 110 pw - 90 - 100 I've been told I need to get my hips more into my swing and my clubs are pretty old. Other than that what are the most common reasons to not getting the distance I should be getting? I'm pretty athletic and in other sports I've always been able to throw, hit, shoot as far or farther than the average.... just not in golf. It's not a huge issue to me and I understand that straight and 220 is better than 280 OB but it does suck being like 4-5 clubs under everyone I play with. I've played to a 15 hdcp when I was younger and I was driving the ball 230-250 then. I've quit playing many times since high school when I was playing every day with most recently coming off of a 5 year hiatus from golf.

I've never been able to wear glasses when I play. I wish I could I just can't do it.

I'm in a pretty bad slump. I started playing again this year after about a 5 year layoff though. When I started back up I was hitting the ball great but had absolutely no feel whatsoever with my short game. As I continued to play since I came back, I've let too many swing thoughts creep into my on the course play and tried too much new stuff, too fast that now I'm hitting the ball like crap. Ironically enough my short game is back though now.

Something I do to hit a draw is the same as what the above said about closing the stance some but also once I take my stance I back away from the ball just a tad and think of swinging out at the ball.

This thread is funny. My lowest round is an 81 (11 yrs ago) but the way I'm playing since I started back up I'm lucky to break 95. I hate that I'm not as good as I used to be.
