Hello!

Last summer I got myself hooked. This year, I've not been able to shake it, so, to my wife's dismay, I've started spending too much money at the driving range. Actual rounds of golf have always been more frustration than enjoyment until recently. I'd 'play' once a year or so, but never really know what the heck I was doing. After developing an almost consistent swing, I've decided that I"m hooked.

Last summer it was mostly slices and back pain. Then I found PPGS with their upright swing. That eliminated my pack pain, but I still sliced with the driver. This year I'm trying the S&T.; Slice is gone, but now I have a pull hook, and cant get through my normal 120 balls without feeling it in my back.

My only live lesson resulted in tweaking my swing, and it worked really well for the rest of that day. Since I didn't have a consistent swing to 'tweak', I've resorted to books and DVD's.

My first 'no fib' scorecard resulted in a 108. Seeing as I made a bunch of dumb mistakes/misshits that I thought I conquored a long time ago on the range, with some work, I anticipate it dropping a bit more pretty quickly before I have to do some real work to get it lower.

Great forum here, I hope use the info/advice here to improve my game.
