Yea I used to go to the range frequently and was in a similar situation to yours. I could hit any target on the range but was not quite spot on on the course. It sounds simple but you may want to try slowing things down on the course. I tried to make smoother practice swings and focus on a slow deliberate swing. This approach really helped me take my driving range swing to the course. Good Luck. MR

I gave the Nike One Vapors a try today and they do not spin quite as much as the ProV1's but do have siginificant bite to them. The big plus is they are only 30 dollars for a dozen. Also, if I am not mistaken the refurbished ProV1's you can find at Dicks Sporting Goods for less then thirty dollars were just miss prints cosmetically, but they play true to their normal more pricier counterparts.

Played nine holes this afternoon at a narrow course. For the first six holes I had a bad case of the shanks and shot eleven over. I then went on to shoot two under on the last three holes with crisp iron shots for a 44 on a par 35. Frustrating, but thats golf.

Good luck man! The free equipment has to be a big help when you are tryin to pay your own tournament fees. Keep us posted.
