Ah okay cool. Thanks for the quick response.

This was just a lucky shot from an iPhone that was very surprising. What does it mean?

thanks for the tip. i have been watching that guy on the golf fix for awhile now and i really like him. today i was messing around on 18 because it was late and no one was behind me and i hit 5 drives. first one i tried to hit down on it because everyone says golf is the game of opposites so if i want it to go up i hit down on it.... well that didnt work... it just went right into the ground. second one i tried hitting up on it and it worked out okay but still not great. the last three i decided to put the ball way out in front of my stance.. a good inch or 2 past my left foot so it was ridiculously far out and i just took my normal swing and it had the perfect trajectory and it felt really solid. didnt figure out how far i hit em but i hit 2 of them to the 150 right in the center of the fairway and one to about 180 also right in the center of the fairway. i was very pleased but i dont know if i will be able to reproduce it tomorrow i ended up paring 2/3 and birdieing the other one

i know what you mean. my dad tells me that all the time about it being such a small difference between a good shot and a bad shot. thanks for the tips though. my dad has also told me this also. i normally do choke it up a little bit because i feel like i have more control but i have tried holding it all the way out which makes it even harder to hit it where i want to. thanks for the tip though

i say tee box

congrats man. i have been shooting 90,91,92 for awhile now and its killin me. i hit 42,43,44 on the front all the time and im like okay today is the day and then i always hit 46,47,48 on the back

not a jerk at all. maybe if they had been like "hey can we play through?" and you were like No but even in that case you still wouldn't have been a jerk because of what they had done earlier and they were skipping holes but just simply that he assumed he could and said "were gonna play through" is enough to say no right there... good job standing up to them

yeah thats what everyone tells me because i can hit my 3 wood 240 without much trouble.. i just wanna be able to hit my driver

hahah good one wedge player... you got me

cart is a good idea but dont be afraid. im 16 just like you and started playing 2 months ago so were pretty similar. i have a membership where i play so i go out and play by myself all the time. sometimes i get off by myself and other times they stick a guy or two with me. either way i just play my game and half the time im better than the people im playing with even though i hit it in the woods. i play with my friends alot to though

haha these people are over reacting. if it had been a new driver i would be like wow dude thats dumb but it was some old piece of crap so what does it matter. now i do play with a friend who throws clubs ALL THE TIME and it does get a little frightening sometimes but i dont let it get to me. i say breaking an old club over your leg is better than throwing it and possibly hitting someone..

haha i have to agree that was pretty badass right there. any chance you would be willing to let us in on the secret on how to do it?

i keep it pretty far up in my stance because i need as much loft that i can get because it goes so low when i try to draw it. i have tried the opposite though to, i put it back in my stance and tried to hit down and it did exactly that im getting some lessons from the local pro soon so maybe he can help me.

thanks for the tips. what should my grip pressure be? and hand distance from my body?

i would think it would be normal to not be as consistent right after you change something but i dont know how long it should take to get back to where you were with the new swing
