My top five would have to be: 1. When people say "could care less" when they mean "couldn't care less". 2. Someone who allows what's "popular" to guide their personal decisions. 3. The use of "secret codes" (no, not like language, but when people have certain weird guidelines that they expect others to follow without telling them, when they do this just to be obnoxious). 4. Those who look for any excuse to make an anti-American comment. 5. Blaming others for what's your fault and taking credit for someone else's work at the same time.

No worries man, I was shooting in the 110-116 range for God knows how long, then one day I found what was going wrong and after 6 holes of my old game I ended up with a 99, first time breaking 110 in my life after noticing one single error in the middle of the game.

Just started reading it this week.

Haven't heard this before, but don't see a problem with it. Thinking in an upward motion often tempts me, however, to pick up the club and therefore go at the ball in a diving motion. An inward, upward, and backward motion are all necessary for the making of a good backswing. I was thinking that the problem may be a pick-up dive-down sequence. Hope this helps!

I think you're on to it in that you are swinging too steeply. I had this problem a bit ago, and I think it's because of your backswing motion. You may be picking up the club rather than swinging back. This results in the clubface driving into the ground. Try using a "pulling" motion rather than a "lifting" one. Also, make sure you're going back rather than up. Remember, it's called a "back"swing not an "up"swing. This should help with smoother contact and hopefully club survival.
