Well, it's really just during the summer. The ground is so hard it's like hitting across a walmart parking lot! Im usually 80-100yds in the winter time witch is a much more favorable distance. I've thought about teeing off with a 3 wood, but I don't wanna hang my driver up for months at a time. Simple fix would be go hit off the back tees.
I have shot a 82,84 and a 83 the last three times Ive played. I feel like I could break 80 if I could hit the green from this range. I'm usually 50-70yds out after my drive on all par 4s, but I really don't know what shot to play from that distance. BTW most of our greens are elevated.
I think it's always been said to spend more time practicing around the green because that is the hardest part of the game. Obviously if u don't get off the tee box or ur not able to get close to the green from a hundred yards it's not gonna do u much good.
I recently had my ping putter witch is about 2 years old cut down from about 35" to 32". I watched the guy cut 3" off, but after that he just put a grip on it and handed it back to me. Do I need to get the weight adjusted after taking so much length off?
Had my swing looked at and it showed that my stance is to open. Brought my right foot back a little and I am hitting down on it better and my distance and accuracy have improved.
On a good day I either hit the ball strait or a cut. I cant for the life of me hook/ draw the ball. I assume I need a closed club face at impact to hook but I don't care how early I try to release all I can do is hit a cut.
Ok I have several questions about this?
#1. Does it mean the back of my left hand is pointed at the ground at impact? If so then my swing has to be really steep.
#2. if this is a good idea is it true for my driver?
I was playing yesterday and came across a situation where a dead tree limb fell off a tree landed halfway in the fairway and half in the woods....... my ball was in the fairway behind the limb. I drug the limb out of the fair way back into the woods. Is that a penalty?
I play with a few guys who r scratch golfers regularly. They usually tell me that when I mess up I'm coming up and out of my swing especially with my wedges! What I have found is if I get the feeling of attacking the ball not just staying level, but dropping my center of gravity on the downswing I am a much better ball striker...
