My iron play and short game have finally fallen in line. The biggest question mark in my game now is my driver. However, about half of the time it is perfectly fine and when it's not, the problem is always different. Sometimes very different.

For example, the other night I went to the range and went through my normal routine, start with a wedge and work my way up to the driver. Everything was fine, until I got to my driver and it was all VERY bad. I didn't hit one straight shot. I would hook one, then slice one, the hit a few in a row really low. Another slice, followed by a near pop-up. Then hook a few more. The next afternoon I went and played 9 and hit every single fairway.

A few days later I played 18. The front 9,I hit every fairway. The back 9, I didn't hit a single one. Again, the misses were of all varities. A hook followed by a slice, followed by hitting over the top of one.

What is really driving me crazy, is the problem isn't even the same everytime, so I don't where to start fixing it. And, there are stretches of no problems at all.

Any thoughts?

I had similar issues with my new-to-me driver the past few weeks.  It turns out the shaft was not suited for my swing at all.  It was too soft in the tip section and I have a quick tempo.  It resulted in spraying the ball all over the place, no matter what settings I had adjusted the club to.  Now that I have changed the shaft, I seem to getting more consistent results with it......so far.

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
