Appreciate the help guys, its just hard for me to get much practice in putting. There is only one practice green within 30 miles of my house and it is not in good condition at all.

3 tee shot OB and the 4th tee shot was pulled into an opposite fairway lol. Idk what the hell happened i was hitting the ball fine before and after that hole, my swing just left me momentarily.

Hey man don't feel bad a couple weeks ago I was one over through 12 holes until I one-uped Kevin Na with a 17 ..happens to everyone.

My putting has been god awful lately, seems like im pulling everything and when i try to correct it i open the blade up and push the putts. Been going on for weeks now, anyone know any drills or tips that might help?

wiz khalifa- wake up also a lot of kid ink if anyone here knows who that is lol

You are definitely shutting down the clubface, probably letting your wrist go too early, try holding your wrist cock until impact and see how that works for you.

WOW! 102?? Time to start filling out my application for the next big break!

You're must likely coming over the top. Think about keeping your right elbow close to your right hip on the downswing (assuming you are a righty) easy way to come from the inside.

If you had to guess how big is your draw? Id say anything over 15-20 yards is too much. Nothing wrong with aiming at one side of the fairway and playing a slight draw but you should try to avoid aiming too far away from the center of the fairway and hoping it draws back in.

Yeah you're probably right about that...I hear the same thing from my mom quite often lol.

It helps for sure. Not only does it help you swing faster but i've found it helps me maintain balance better. Since i started working out about a year ago id say ive gained 35-40 yards easily. Anyone who says fitness doesn't help your golf game is only fooling themselves. I remember reading an article where Camilo Villegas said he didn't think he'd even be on tour without his fitness regimine. It helps...a lot.

I havent read this whole thread but im 195lbs and 6'4 so about your size and i have a 6 pack. Good ol fashion crunches can go a looong way, i eat like crap and dont do anywhere near as much running as you do and it works for me. Eating healthier foods and crunches will definitely help you.

Hahaha i normally have a pretty good stomach but taco bell kills me every time.

I really dont avoid anything drink wise. I chugged two monsters before a round one time and played great, but i now know to avoid taco bell before golfing..that was a terrible round.

Core Strength is probably the main thing. Last year i started doing about 150 situps a day and i gained 20 yards in about a month no joke. Id say anything that strengthens your core and legs would probably be the best way to add distance but like the others said for a kid your size you knock it pretty good. I hit it about the same distance at your age and now on a good swinging day i can knock it out there 300+ So you have nothing to worry about.

320 yard par 4 downhill. Slight dogleg right with trees protecting the green so you have to go over top of the trees which are somewhat tall and there is a creek that you need to carry about 280 if you pull driver. Basically it is a layup hole but me and a buddy were messing around so we pull driver. I hit a driver solid and dead at the green we get down there im pin high 20 feet left of the hole, and i made the putt! Best shot and best hole of the week (:

Congrats! Remember the quickest ways to lower those scores is to work on 100 yards and in.

Im 6'4 190 lbs (got that Dustin Johnson build haha) with a 115mph+ swing speed according to the launch monitor at golf galaxy and i can get 300 yards on a good one easily. I know a lot of people on here probably don't believe it but im a pretty long kid lol. If we are talking about average id say maybe 260-270 when you factor in the short duck hooks.

Haha oh i know it want cure it but every little bit helps lol, and i need some help!!

You sound a lot like me because ive been told i have a very quick transition and i hit the ball a mile and but only God knows where it is going lol. Sounds like I would benefit from a stiffer shaft because my main miss is a hook. My only problem is i do hit the occasional block and if im not wrong an x-stiff shaft would make that worse.

I was hitting balls in the launch monitor the other day and my average swing speed was about 115mph with a driver and my highest was 121. I had never even thought about getting x-stiff clubs until the guy that works at golf galaxy said something about it. Does my swing speed really require x-stiff shaft?

Funny you should mention that because the course i played at has water on almost every hole. It was like the golf gods wanted me to chuck my putter in the water.

Haha thats impressive. Most courses i play at are also short (all around 6000) but at the same time very tight. Which is like a catch 22 for me because im long with the driver but tend to spray a couple. So i usually post a variety of scores on my scorecard lol.

Man you are a really good golfer to only play 10 times a year. But ive never had it all come together either. It just sucks to have your best-ball striking round and worst putting round at the same time.

I had the best ball-striking round today. Kept my driver in play and long, and also hit 12 greens. BUT i had the worst putting round in recent memory. Had 37 putts, and even worse not a single 1 putt. Not to mention my green side chipping wasn't quite up to par. I don't think ive ever been so disappointed to shoot 80 in my life.
