m11, I think you nailed my major problem. My lower back gets stiff and I develope a bad takeaway. I am planning on working on my backswing with a slower tempo. I think I am casting and using too much arms and undercutting the ball...thus too high and short right. Thanks for the insight.

Beginner mistakes when using the driver
etk7027 replied to steve617's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
Just remember, I smoother swing will result in less trouble when mishit and when hit properly will go as far as swinging out of yours shoes many times. When I start driving bad i smooth'n my swing out, keeping my head still and eyes on the ball through impact. -
Another excellent point. I can only get 100 yards out of my PW if I do everything correct. I did turn 50 recently and maybe I am just getting old. I used to get 120 yards easily out of my PW not too long ago. I just don't play enough I guess. I also lost about 15 pounds. Maybe when I was heavier I had more power. I duuno.

Thanks. I will give it a try. I know I grip too tight at times and don't release the club. I haven't tried the feet closer together stance but that sounds like solid advice. Thanks again. Ed

I went from putting horrible to putting excellent buy two things. First, I keep my elbow tight to my ribcage and take my hands out of the swing. Second, I follow through and keep my head down. Unbelievable how well this works fo rme.

Anyone play the X-18's. How well do you hit them? I just bought a set and like them. The ball feels good off the clubface and the Uniflex shaft seems to work for me.

My major goal was to drop weight. I was pushing 200 lbs. and am currently just under 180. I am 5"10.5" tall. My goal is to drop to 170 lbs.

Wonderful and challenging course. Mature tree lined fairways, deep rough and fast greens. http://www.granvillegolf.com/

You're to be commended for your tolerance. I know I would have lit the *&^%$)(*& up. But my temper is something I work at all the time.

I think I will have to give this book a look. Great putting is a must if one wants to go low. Nothing worse than a 3 putt, or 4.

I bought this book at Golfworks discount rack for 5 bucks. It is OK but not as good a Ledbetter's book.

What are the prices like in Louisville area. I have a son that lives there and may play in there in the future.

My priority right now is to get my daughter through college and my son through HS. Stressful times at best.

Do as I say, not as I do. Most arrogant phrase to date IMHO. -
You have to invest via a 401K or you'll have no retirement. Unfortunately, I am back to 2004 levels. Hopefully, it will return soon. Still own the stock but it is worth less. Just have to ride out the storm and see what happens in the future.

I am having trouble hitting my PW around my 120 yards and sometime hit it only around 95 yards. I am leaving the face open and not rolling my left hand enough and swinging through correctly. Is there any quick drills or fixes to this dilema?

I shot an 87 from the tips with a new set of irons. Gave away at least 5 strokes. Hit the ball well overall. Felt like I could have shot around a 79 by the way i struck the ball but too many blind shots and I am having troule within a 100 yards with my wedge.

I like to group mine in certain order. I am a nut about ensuring i have not left a club on the green. I lost a nice Vokey wedge and never to be seen again once. I also use headcovers to help keep inventory on my irons.
-
Haven't been to the range this year but do hit some wedges on my property. I never was much of a range player. I usually end up pulling something besides my irons.

Used to play 3 times a week now only play once a week if I am lucky.
