In the woods

I completely agree! There is a flaw to my swing and I think it starts with being left handed. In all seriousness, I actually do this with my driver. I was on the driving range yesterday and I believe the flaw is in my initial setup over the ball. For some reason in the last couple of years I have had a hard time getting comfortable over the ball. On the first hole I'll bomb it and on the second I'll top it and hit a screamer that runs for days or buries in the grass just past the ladies tee. It's annoying. I don't top any other club often or at all hardly unless it's a bunker shot. I'll admit I'm scared of the sand shot!! I'll work on a video.

Thanks for the tips and for the guy that mentioned hitting balls in the bathroom(sarcasm I know) funny you say that because I actually chip from my kitchen to living room. Have a nice narrow path between the two. A fluffy lie on a rug in the kitchen and a bowl on it's side in the living room for aiming purposes. As far as everything else, you all bring good points starting with playing from the other side. How far back do you guys go on driver backswing as this could also play a role in my head coming up due to the fact I can see my club head from time to time on the backswing, even when I focus on shortening it. It's crazy.

Ha, thanks. Let me add to this. With my limited amount of time to play, my time to practice is cut down as well. So I guess my question really is, does anyone have suggestions/tips/drills to maximize the benefit I get from my practice time?

Ok... So I have been playing golf forever and there was a period of time when I was consistent and shooting low 80's. With my current job I am not really able to play all that often and when I do I usually shoot in the low to mid 90's. When I do play, I am very inconsistent, 300 yard drive, topped to the ladies tee box type inconsistent. Anyone out there have any tips/drills for help to regain my consistency from tee to green?n Thanks in advance for any replies.

D....275-305 3w..250-270 4i....210-225 5i....195-210 6i....185-195 7i....165-180 8i....150-165 9i....135-150 Pw..100-135 Gw..95-105 Sw..85-95 lw(60)..65-75 Lw(64).. Unknown hadn't hit it yet I'm fairly long just not consistently straight off the tee so I play "in the woods" a lot! I have a nasty distance gap between 4i and 3w. Just bought a cheap 19 degree hybrid I hope to plug in on courses where it's needed. Don't know how far I'll hit that though.
