Most any premimum ball is good for me, but recently I've been using the Taylormade TP Red/Black. The Red feels a bit softer with more spin and the Black holds its own line much better in the wind and has slightly less spin. Looking forward to using them again in the spring.
I'd go with the 4 wood being that the extra distance isn't nessesary for you and the 2* more loft could make it easier to get in the air with slightly more accuracy.
Not to seem rude, but at a 30 handicap you should probably work on hitting the ball straight first before learning how to manipulate the ball flight.
but for a draw most players close their stance slightly (left foot ahead a little bit) and close the clubface a little bit or use a stronger grip.
My first birdie was when i was 10 years old and made the green on the last hole and sunk it from 30ft to finish off my round. Then a few months ago I holed out with my pitching wedge for an eagle to beat my playing partner in match play 6 & 4. So thats always a fun way to finish up.
I think Justin Rose has a good chance. I think he just made #1 on Eurpean Tour order of Merit at age (27?) and soesnt really blow away any tournaments like a lot of the other younger guys out there
