Hey everyone Ive been having trouble hitting my driver...and i have no clue what has happened. I used to slice it very bad then i started back playing again just about 1 month ago and used a new grip that helped my drives go straight and long, but then something happened... Now everytime i hit the driver its either a terrible slice, a terrible draw, or the ball doesnt even get into the air and sometime performs something my dad called a "duck hook". I dont know what happened or what im doing wrong, Ive tried going back to the old baseball grip i used, moving forward in my stance, moving back in my stance, making sure i move my wrists, and watched countless videos on how to drive a golf ball and nothing seems to help. I'm planning on going to take lessons very soon (once school starts back) and planning to get a membership at a local course. My game would be much better if i could get my drives right. The fairway woods are a different story, i just hit them really thick and just cant hit them. I can hit my irons well(most of the time) and have a good short game and putting. HELP PLEASE


If your serious about getting lessons soon then that's all you need to do, sounds like your fairly new at golf and the very best thing to do is have a trained eye help you rather than try to figure something out that 99.99% of the population can't.

    • I agree with @dennyjones, a suspension of some meaningful duration would be better than getting bounced from the Tour. They might consider experimenting each week. It might generate a bit of interest. I like the idea of a visible shot clock. If a player and their caddy can’t decide on a strategy and pull the trigger in XX seconds (30? 45? 60?), one stroke penalty. Give each player 2 resets a round. The clock starts when the last player to hit’s ball stops moving. Other pace ideas could be used every couple events until a consensus is reached to adopt or ditch an idea.
