My Swing (Waynesigmeister)

[Waynesigmeister]

I've been Playing Golf for: 2 months
My current handicap index or average score is: xxxx
My typical ball flight is: straight with irons
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: slicing to the left.

I am returning to golf after a 30 year break.  When I was young, I had a swing speed of 95mph but due to lower back injury and arthritis in the right shoulder and lower back, I stopped golfing.  I am now 67 and returning to golfing as a way of getting out of the house since I am now retired.  I have been taking lessons and can get a PW up to 100yds while my 7 iron can get to 150 yds but after that, every club stinks.  I am using Cobra irons with a uniflex steel shaft and my woods are Taylormade Aeroburner with graphite regular flex shafts.  People have told me to look at the senior flex because of my age and back issues, so I bought a Big Bertha PW with a senior flex graphite shaft, I hit that ball multiple times to 100 yds carry with 10 yds of roll for 110yds total.

I took my woods today to the range and began hitting balls.  I am a lefty and all my shots would go about 50 straight and then sharply curve to the left another 50 yards.  My instructor had me closing the face of the club, changing my stance but nothing worked.  I know that a lot of this is due to lack of training and experience.  30 years ago I would use my 5 wood as a driver because I could not hit the driver.  I am continuing to work with the instructor, practice on my own and just ordered a Callaway RBZ Hawk 3 wood in a senior flex to see if that helps my drives.  Any recommendations, I would appreciate it.
