I tend to draw the ball - I have a very strong grip. I also hold onto the thing like there's no tomorrow. My misses, however, tend to become duck-hooks.

Short game is for old men!

Cheers Brotha! I rock it off the tee and always wait for the others to catch up.

haha I know that feeling, im "consistently" around 275-335 (not sure how consistent that is). But yea with the draw you can't really slow down, but even people that hit it about 170 with a driver can still draw the ball, its all about imparting the right spin on the ball. Its just more noticable with a 300 yard drive, lol.

The best is when you rock a drive and your playing partner duffs his 2nd shot and he is hitting 3 and you still have addressed your ball since the drive.

But then when your partner is standing on the green for 20 minutes while you are hitting your 6th out of the trap, it all catches up.

They might have to catch up on their second and third shots but then they are holding the flag while i'm last to putt. I'm working on that.

Ok, hit the range today and good stuff happened. First of all i'm alot less sore from doing bench at the gym 3 days ago and now with the golf. I'm still having good results hitting fades and draws with the irons. Tried the driver and started off bad but eventually I got it down. Only thing I feel is because I'm closing my stance I don't feel like I'm getting the same distance as with my regular stance. It is a shot I'm happy to have though. Gonna work on the high cut now.

    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface. 
    • That truly had me laughing. Thanks If anyone is interested Sun Day Red is live. I clicked on the hats, seem they are sold out. Shorts 130 bucks, shirts 120, everything seems to be sold out already, at least from what I clicked on. 130 for shorts, I'll pass.
