Maybe what you need is to move up a tee box?

maybe. I already play from the whites, but you might be right. Just to get the feel

I'm lucky in that my home course offers 4 tee sets, and none of them are red, so no stigma about "ladies" tees.  I can play the blue (6578) or the white (6103) nearly equally, even though the blues are 475 yards longer.  I don't mess with the black tees, and I only play the golds (5362 yards) with one group of guys who are even older and shorter than my 69 years and 230 yard drives.  If I played at a lower elevation like you do, I'd be looking at the same issues that you face.

There's a good fitter around here that I went to for the Driver fitting in spring. I can see now that that was a little early due to not having my swing grooved yet. I was WAAY over the top. Now i'm just over the top. LOL.

Anyway, They offer a gap fitting. See http://www.milesofgolf.com/club-fitting/club-fitting-ann-arbor/maxx-gap-fitting1/. 

I'm thinking that my old clubs might not be as long as say a pair of Adams, which I hear have better lofts to let you hit farther. My thought is a combo of lesson and fitting. I think I could use from a little wisdom on alignment, grip, swing confirmation or correction followed by something a little more up-to-date with clubs. Although I was thinking clubs at the end of season for a better deal. Am I delusional to think that clubs will help and I should focus on lessons.

FYI, there is a club secret , I hear from league players that work at my course, that one of the lesser expensive pros is really good at fixing/correcting swings. "He's the guy." He doesn't teach you new swing, he fixes what you have. Thoughts on clubs versus lesson? Any experience with the decision?

      Was this the course with 9 blind shots in the first 9 holes?

      Woof. Not good. 8:40 to 8:50, blah. I know the grip is turned a bit to the left in that part of the video (face is closed a bit), but… no. Not that.

      Eh. You're tricking yourself. You can still miss right or left, and what you've created is a situation where you HAVE to miss (but the right amount) to make the putt. That's not for me.

      I can see a point in this.  If you play a straigth 3 footer with a square face aiming at the hole, you can miss both ways, with a close face or an open one. If you aim rigth an close the face at impact (like tiger used to do), physically you can still miss left or rigth but mentally you are only missing left (closed face) and having only 1 miss can give you a boost in confidence. I putt this way on fade putts and aim left and open the face on draw putts, never liked the uncerteinty of putting square to the target.  I apply something like this on approach shots, only use low or high shots and for middle shots I use a low shot with more loft ot a high shot with less loft. This shots are always what they meat low or high, a middle one can go a little towards the high and the low depending on the AoA of each shot making it mentally a little more uncertain what is going to be.
