I was only around 405 until I finally learned how to hit driver.

Sigh...this thread has jumped the shark.

But on the plus side, check out my perky pecs!

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Make sure you're hitting ProV1's instead of range rocks.  Hope you can start pushing 400 I see you getting to maybe 420 with that sick new shaft based on your stats.

Good luck bro.

Probably the best movie ever made.

Just be glad you weren't in middle school when that movie came out. If you were a fat lard, your nickname was "Tina." One year, every kid who ran for class president made their own version of "Vote For Pedro" shirts.

My oh my, I must really suck?!

I'm only hitting my drives ~ 260 to 270 on average?  Yesterday, I hit a drive on #10... 285yds.  It was a 'big' drive for me, and it felt great.  Then on #11 I hit and even bigger drive of 290!  But it was down wind, down hill. I really felt good about myself until I saw this thread... Where I find guys are hitting it 320+ on average, and taking their shirts off.

Now I feel like a child.

Don't feel bad, we all have to start somewhere. I mean, some of us started at 320+, but everyone is different...

Yeah... I tried everything I could do to keep from over driving the par 4's.... the only thing that has helped so far on these....

However I still can't hit these with the wind behind my back.... any suggestions?

Gap. Pitching wedge was good for 350. I get more loft with the gap, so it held it up around 305. Anything under 300 now and I just hit a light flop shot and hope for a serious gust of wind against me.

What are the chances that ProGolf is Gilberg's BA uncle?

It was all over when broseph posted a sweet self pic.

I am holding out hope that the OP will post a swing video so that we can all see how it's done...

The challenge has been made.

Wait, I'm confused.

How many middle schoolers is that?

    • Ooh, I don't know about that. I've hit flop shots that are 6-7° down. The more you widen the spin loft the less ball speed you put into the ball.
    • 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.
