Hi all:
New to the forum, looks like a lovely place for a true golf addict like myself. However something has happened lately that makes me want to give up the game
First off I am a 10 handicapper, (been as low as 5), and been playing for 15 years. In the last month I have developed a problem with hitting off the hosel of my wedges between 40 and 100 yards.
I have tried all sorts of things from focusing on where my weight is in my feet, to opening my stance. I have tried the box in front of the ball method..the tees in the ground method, and still can't lick it.
The only thing that seems to work is when I set up far away from the ball and outstretch my arms in an exagerrated fashion, then I don't shank it, but control is quite difficult and full shots are an impossbility with this method.
So what is setting up far away like this with outstretched arms taking out of the equation? Obviously that is where the problem lies but I can't figure it out.
I love this game to death and never thought I'd think about giving it up but this has becoming frustrating beyond belief.
I know there are a million threads on this topic on here and I've read them all but seem to have a unique situation and if anyone can shed any light I'd be most obliged!
Help me not quit the game,
-Matt
