Ogogolf

Thanks for the honest and nice posts guys. This was my first post on Sandtrap.Com and I appreciate the honest responses. Sidebar: I walked 9 yesterday after posting my question on here and proceeded to block every dang Drive I took. All started right (as wanted) and stayed right, lol. 1 block turned out fine (hit the green in two), but the other 6 got me in trouble each time. LOL. Ironic. I guess the MacGod of Golf was messing with me yesterday, lol. ~ogo

I have been researching (on the web in general) Driver versus 3-Wood and have found a common theme amongst posters. "Sometimes I hit the driver straight and the next time I do not know where it is going to go!" Well. It got me thinking. First, I fixed my driver problem only 4 years ago after golfing for 20+ years. That is, I was just like the hundreds of people posting on this or that board with "my driver sucks but my 3-wood ain't bad." How did I fix my problem? I quit trying to hit it straight. I learned to draw the ball with the driver. And guess what? My driving went from a 180-200 yard fade/slice to a 220-240 draw. And there is no way in heck this little dude can hit a 3-wood 220 in normal conditions. What is more; my drive in the summer (dry) can get fairly long on the right (hard and sloping away) fairway reaching 280-300 on certain holes. I could never drive that far with my old "let me try to hit it straight" approach. So my (first question) for the Sandtrap.Com folks: Do you *try* to hit your driver straight? Or do you purposely play a draw or a fade? ~ogo Not A Scratch or a Bogey Golf Player but somewhere in-between.
