...and actually paid attention to it. If so, they would notice that I'm on my third driver since joining this forum! This will be my last for awhile. I picked up a TaylorMade R580 at a local course pro-shop for $159, new in wrap. I'll be headed to the driving range this evening.

My wife says I'm turning into Arnie. I got my garage turned into a workshop and dozens of clubs in my office. I'm always changing clubs depending on my mood or the course I'm playing. Maybe I'm subconciously blaming my clubs ;)

I don't want a bunch of clubs, but I wouldn't mind being like Arnie and having a full workshop in my garage. That'd be nice!

It's not that I disliked any of them, I was working my way up to a better, longer lasting one. I started with a K-Mart driver. I then found a like new Top Flite in a used sporting goods store for 25 bucks. Then, yesterday, I thought the price on the TaylorMade was in my range, so I added that to my bag.

...I was working my way up to a better one...

I went the other way

Started with 510TP (very nice), friernd convinced me to get Ping G2 (didn't like), from there I got crazy about "tour only" equipment, got the 580XD and 510TP both tour edition... and had to get rid of them, since I wasn't good enough to play them (tour drivers are set neutral to 2deg open, so I was slicing the living jesus with them ), finally supported by a $600 win in Atlantic City casino I got the r7 TP and this one will stay in the bag for a while. So far these experiments cost me about $50 a club (gotta love eBay ), so it wasn't that bad. My wife hates me though, but that would happend regradless of number of drivers I'm buying.

Having a work shop is not all its cracked up to be.

Last summer i was testing 2-4 driver combos a week! Its great that you get to try out all the shaft and head combos, but it sure makes it tough to groove that one driver for the starting line up in your bag! Who am i kidding..........having a workshop is absolutely killer!!!!!

    • Day 21, April 29.  Before going to work this morning, I worked in my indoor practice room for 20 minutes.   This was entirely 6-iron shots with the usual step.  Video yesterday showed me that I'm still straightening my trail leg too much (leading to the backswing length issue I've been working to fix), so I focused on not doing that in my rehearsal swings.
    • Exactly correct.   I was absolutely certain about the penalty (none here), but the bit about where they play from can be really confusing the first time you read it.  In my big paper rule book, i used colored highlighters to make it clear.  Good thing I did, at the Cascades there's little to no cell service, so using the rules app on the phone wasnn't possible.  
    • Taking a crack it, but looks pretty clear. 11.1  Ball in Motion Accidentally Hits Person or Outside Influence. a. No Penalty to Any Player If a player’s ball in motion accidentally hits any person (including the player) or outside influence: There is no penalty to any player. This is true even if the ball hits the player, the opponent or any other player or any of their caddies or equipment. Reading further down it looks like they have to play the ball as it lies. No replay from the previous spot. 
    • I had an interesting one yesterday, a local qualifier for the US Senior Open, at the Cascades Course at the Homestead.  Well, first things first, the VSGA arrnged for the officials to play the Cascades on Monday at the players' practice round rate.  Its lots of fun, rather old-style (built in the 1920s).  anyway, a player missed a short putt, and (apparently embarrassed) took a step to be ready to tap the ball back in.  The ball lipped out, and hit the player's foot.  I was nearby, and they waved me over, and asked "What do we do now?"  I was pretty sure of the ruling, but asked them to wait for a few seconds while i double-checked.  I did have it correct, even though its one of the more confusing rules in the book right now.  I'll leave the correct answer out for now, in case anyone wants to guess, or research it, and post their ruling.
    • I am going to try to try to have more intent with my shot routines. I saw this process in a YouTube video I watched last night.  Decide what you want to happen - Yardage, shot shape, start line Visualize what you want to happen - Straight forward, but one tip he suggested was while focusing the shot take in a slow deep breath (like 4 seconds in duration), hold for 1 second, then exhale slowly (like 4 seconds again). There is some evidence to show that this rhythmic style of breathing can help in calming heart rate and improving focus.  Feel what you want to happen. - Your 1-2 practice swings. Like if you need to hit your PW at 90%, feeling that.  Commit to what you want to happen on the ball.  Post-shot routine, where you either gain confidence from a good shot or learn from a mistake to foster a growth mentality. - If it was a good shot then give yourself some good vibes/feedback. If the shot didn't turn out, then access why to learn from it. I am going to add, don't get negative.
