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.

    • Re: your graphic, ‘ I expected a little more from a varsity letterman.’ Lol…just another one for @boogielicious
    • Can't brag about a 50 last night but it was the best round of my season (4 rounds of 9 holes) so I am not as upset as I could be.  One thing I am noticed is that I got a little more confident in my long hybrids and I attempted a couple longer shots that typically I would just lay up and those holes were a big part of the lower score.  Not every shot was great but good enough that they helped.  I even shot par on a Par 5 after taking a drop.  On that hole I would usually lay-up to @ 100 yards and often miss the green altogether with my 3rd shot (or worse chunk my approach and put it in the waste area).  Yesterday I went for it from @ 200 yards out with wind in my face and landed in the waste area short of the green.  My drop left @ 40 yards in and I stuck it to 3 feet for my par putt.  If I had laid up I would have avoided the penalty stroke but likely would not have been on the green in regulation and may still have been working for par.  By going for it I gave myself a chance at birdie and still saved par. I do not plan on being crazy aggressive but I think I tend to be too conservative at times so I will "go for it" a little more often going forward. 
    • Day 14 (15 May 24) - Worked with the SW in the backyard, short pitches from 10yds up to 30yds.   Focused on ball placement in stance - ball back, ball forward, ball center.  Afterwards moved to inside the shop to work on putting pace on the rug - putting one way gives about an 8' putt, going the other a 6' before bumping onto the adjacent rug.  Focused there on the line - picking a target point about 18"-24" out and making sure the ball rolls through that point. 
    • When someone is trying to validate their choice, statements concluding with "right" are often the MO.  Too bad he thinks he has to keep defending his decision, just do like guys like DJ and HVIII - take the money, play the tourneys and keep quiet.  
    • I liked Rory talking about keeping it shallow. I think a lot of people imagine steep as really steep. Trackman has a PW attack angle at 5 degrees. Pitch shots you probably want less than 5-degrees.  Here is 5 degrees, the dashed line. It isn't much at all.  People probably need to feel like the club is stupidly shallow if they hit it really steep.  Some good tidbits of information though.
