Ok getting back into the game after many years of not playing.  Started in May of this year and have been bitten by the bug.  I used to play to a 9 consistently and prided myself on driving the ball in play most times.  Wasn't extremely long but could keep up.  I found that the first shot on any tee if it was good I usually played the hole well, hence driving the ball being paramount to my game.

Well as stated started this year in May and totally sucked.  I mean it was so damn embarrassing the first several times just hitting balls let alone playing well to say the least I was frustrated.  Until I was clued into something I was missing when I was watching a tournament on the GC.  I can't even tell ya what tourn. or the player's name, but he seemed to set his driver about 4" or so behind the golf ball.  I thought that odd so did a search on the Inet about golf lessons and driving the ball etc and found Center of Gravity golf, and it looked like what that pro was doing was what this guy was teaching on line.

Put the ball tee'd up of course in the center of your stance, point your left to the left and step back with the right foot to just abit wider than shoulder width.  Club rests behind the ball about 4" or so.  Take a swing and voila good solid contact each and every time.  Weird but true.  I also use this method when hitting my woods off the deck.  3 or 5 it seems to work decent.  Anyways that's all I gotta say on this.  Works for me and works well.  thanks

Reminds me alot of what Jack Nicklaus had to say about ball position. He said he would set up to the ball in the same position relative to his left foot every time. The only difference from club to club being how much he widened his stance with the right foot. That way, the bottom of his swing happened at the same place every time.

I don't understand what you are trying to say. I feel like this will help me if I did.
