I play a round today and im a 22hi.

I have a horrible topping problem with driver.

Tee off on EVERY par 4 and 5 on my front nine to less than 120 yards and some less than 80 yards.

I had zero approach shots from within 160 ZERO.Most wer 180 -220 I shot a 46.
2 par 3's I par'd and Dbogey.


Back Nine

every par 4 or 5 i shoot the same, shot a 47. I did have one from 160 yards for my approach the rest were 200 yards or more from tee. Par 3's were bogey bogey.


ALAS on the 18th hole my pop has me open the face of my driver almost 2 inches. I drive a solid 265 no roll. In disbelief I re tee and use the open face driver and unleash hell and 290 yards little roll(2 inches of rain last nite).
I go in the water on 2, drop 3 hit a 180 yard iron over a pond and trees uphill, then sink a 25 ft putt.


First ...Thanks to my POP
2nd cant wait to try this driver grip on a new round.

93 total score. I count 12 wasted tee shots when compared to my potential.

Whenever I flat out top the ball, or when I used to when I first started golf, I always knew it was one thing...

You sure about that?

I took a couple months off due to illness, and when i started playing again i hit my irons very solid but just topped the crap out the ball with any wood type of club i touched (and yes i knew to keep the head down)! I remember standing at one tee box hitting 4!!!! straight tops with my driver and just couldnt figure it out. Couple days later it just is gone and i havent topped one in probably 2 weeks now - strange thing huh?

When I topped the ball alot, I found out I was teeing the ball to far in front of me.
