Okay. Thanks for the help. I will remember this next time i'm at the course.

Yes, I occasionally top it and also, I get similar distance with my 5 and 9 and the 5 should be much farther I believe.

I started playing again recently. I am not a good golfer though. I usually hit double bogeys and bogeys. Like I said in the title, I can't hit my 5 iron. I don't know if it is because I have really cheap golf clubs. $200 for the complete set plus an additional 2009 burner driver. Or, if it is because I am doing something wrong. I hit my 5 iron worst than my 9 iron. Is their a certain technique for a 5 iron. Such as where to put the ball in my stance? Please give me some tips. Thanks.

Consistently hit under 100.

I am 14 years old and with my Maxfli driver that came with my set, I could hit the ball maybe up to only 200 yards. However, I upgraded to a Taylormade Burner 2009 and I can now hit the ball like 250 yards. 50 yards further! I also cut like 5 strokes off my game.

Its not a problem with irons, but with my fairway woods and my driver, a lot of times I hit the ball and get no loft. It will go straight down but role a while. However, sometimes, I hit it with a good amount of loft. I want to know how to get more loft on my shot. Thanks.

You need an inspiration. Do it for your wife and kids to set a good example. Everytime you can't decide wether to go to the gym or play PS3, think about your kids.

Not only is it a sport, I would say that it is harder than any other sport out their.

Drink water definitely. Diet soda is not good for you. I have heard before that normal soda is better for you than diet soda because of the aspartyme/fake sugar.

I will give you some tips the local golf pro taught me. first of all, always have the ball in the middle of your stance. Also, during your backswing, which I noticed in the video you were doing wrong, you need to keep your right arm against your body instead of sticking it out.

I have figured that out from personal experience. For example, I often play with my dad and their is this one hole on the course we go to is a hole where its a narrow fairway with trees on both sides. He would always drive where as I would use a 3 wood. I would always go straight and he would end up in the trees. Finnaly, after me telling him time after time to try his 3 wood, he did. What do you know he wen't straight and knocked 5 strokes off his score that day.

My best shot of the week was on a par 4, when I made a 15 foot putt for birdie.

Ok. And how many inches is the club in length?

On this site, I see it is ranked #1. However, I thought the R11 was #1. I don't want to pay that much for a driver though. If any of you own the 2009 Burner or have used it, how is it? How far can you drive the ball with it? Thanks.

Thanks. For all the tips everyone. I will definitely try them out. I appreciate all the suggestions and take them to heart.

I do practice, and actually, when I am practicing, I will knock them down. However, I fall apart on the green when I am competing. I will sometimes hit it to soft. Sometimes, I hit it to hard.

On the Par 5's for example, I will get on the green and three shots and end up taking a 7. A freaking 4 putt. I just am not a good putter. I need some tips to help improve my putting. Thanks.

I am a new golfer. I have been golfing for several months. I am going to be doing high school golf which is why I have been golfing a lot lately.
