Well, that was moreso my point. I don't hit any absolutely lost shots at all anymore. And my driving game is ood, it's my short iron game that kills me. A lot of times i'll score higher on a par 3 than on a par 5 and that's no joke. But, I am slowly but surely working at it.

Then you're in a pretty good place. If you're driving well, and hitting your approach irons well (and let's be honest they're a lot easier to control than a driver) then the scores will come down.

I've got the opposite problem. I'm good with my irons, and my short game is improving in leaps and bounds. I just need to put myself in a good position off the tee more often. Last time I played I only hit a four fairways.

In the bag:

Driver: 975D 10.5° True Temper EI-70 Stiff (Alternate 8.5° Titleist Stiff Graphite Shaft)
Fairway Woods: 975F (2 From) 14.5°, 18.5° True Temper EI-70 Stiff, 20.5° Titleist Stiff Graphite Shaft

To be honest I have a G30 Driver that I cut down to 44.5 and I hit it about 220-225 and I'm 66 yrs old. BUT with that said, just for kicks I bought a club called a Long Tom, with 10 degrees loft and a 48 inch shaft. I Absolutely Crush It ...Dead Straight 8 out of 10 drives, the other two are normally slight draws...BUT there are going 235-240. So I've been thinking of taking my old RBZ driver and adding a 48 inch shaft JUST TO SEE.

    • Day (2 May 24) - somehow I missed posting both Tues and Weds practice sessions - so the streak ends and a new one begins…. Focus today was on ball first contact using the Divot Board for reference.   Worked with 7i, 9i and GW hitting hard foam balls.  Started hap hazardly and then settled back into my pre-shot setup.  Much more consistent in the latter.  
    • So, Newey is out at Red Bull. Where does he go in a year? Is Max still with RBR in 2026? Hmmmm.
    • August 2010 Woodfin Ridge 18th hole Playing in a large tournament with a slew of friends and the last day was two man best ball. The 18th, when it was bent grass, was very fast due to a steep slope on the right side. I had seen many people over the years putt off the green from above the hole. I hit a great drive and 3W to 30’ left of the hole. With everyone watching my partner hit it way too fast and never high enough and his ball rolled all the way to the bottom of the green.  I hit mine much higher and the ball came to rest about 20” above the hole. Then it slowly started trickling towards the hole for a walkoff eagle! Nobody said anything except my partner who was yelling pretty loudly. I looked at the crowd and told them it was okay to clap because it was a great putt, and they gave me a bunch of polite golf claps and brought me a beer!
    • Day 127: 5/2/24 Stack Full Speed spectrum training session 6/24. Training speed was 5 mph higher than previous high, as was e-speed. Still not as high as I have done in previous programs, but just 1 mph lower. Battling through a neck issue, and possible trigger fingers. Happy with results.
    • Day 49. Played 9 from tees a bit beyond my comfort zone and was humbled. Hit a couple good shots so will take that at least.
