I hit a few balls at the range prior to playing and I wasn't hitting my driver worth a crap. So I stuck with the 5 iron on my tee shots and I was probably avg around 200 yds with that, so it wasn't too bad. Sunk a nice putt from about 30-35 ft out. Shot a 93 or 94 I believe. Took out the driver on all the par 5's and finally on the last one I ripped a line drive that we estimated at around 325 yds, would have rolled farther but it bounced and hit the upslope of a hill. I think I may have figured out what I was doing wrong with my swing though. My arms aren't going together in one motion. One arm is pulling down faster than the other I believe. Because when I hit that nice drive, I concentrated on keeping my arms together throughout the swing. It's just going to take more work, plus I may go see the golf pro at one of the courses so they can point me in the right direction. At one point in time last year, I my handicap was around 12 or 13 I believe for about 6 months. Then I bought new clubs, shot my best round ever with them (79) then after that I couldn't hit hte driver worth a crap and all my iron shots were hooking, and my drives would curve into the ground and roll or be grounders from the get-go. When I was playing good, my avg drive was around the 270 mark. I've driven the green on a par 4- 320 yds, and 3 holes that were in the 270-300 range. It's just a matter of getting that driver down again and improving on my iron shots. I'm not getting any air under my pw, sw, or 9 iron shots, I'm hitting mostly line drive shots right now.
I've always had that problem with my full-swing PW/SW/9-iron - the only thing I can sky and control my spin with is my LW, which is weird. I've got the Phil Mickelson type shot going with the LW, but just how often do you get to make use of that? I can hit it too far as I'll just pull my head up and skull the thing, so I've got to be in fairly close.

If I were you'd I'd definitely go take a lesson from the pro. Hopefully he'll analyze every little thing about your swing. I went to see the pro here regarding my stance and he wound up jacking my swing around. After shooting a comfortable par or a stroke or two over at most courses around here for years, I thought it was crazy. But really, it was well worth it - now if there's a stroke or three (//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif) over par, it's always due to me ******* it up on the grees.

I wish I could get on the course this early. Still snow out there and then the frost comes in the morning for a while. Should be the beginning of March and I'll be able to get back on the driving range and the courses should open shortly after.

Nice to see others with the same passion for the sport on here.

I've been wanting to see a pro for a while now, but I never get around to it, or I think I can fix my swing on my own. But now it's to the point where I've played about 8 bad rounds in a row. It's definitely time to go get help.

BTW........9 dots = 1100 pts. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Just ordered the best of Eric Clapton and the best of Tim McGraw.

Decided I need to start diverisfying my music selection.

 
Now if only my stereo was functional, so I could actually listen to them when they get here //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif :( //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif

Swinging on the lawn

Swinging where we want

Cause there ain't nobody home

Swingin' to the left and

Yeah, yeah - huh!

Swingin in the living room

Swingin' in the kitchen

Most folks don't

Cause they're too busy *****in'

Swingin' in there

Cause she wanted me to feed her

So I mixed up the batter

And she licked the beater

I scream, you scream,

We all scream for her

Don't even try

Cause you can't ignore her

CHORUS

She's my cherry pie

Cool drink of water

Such a sweet surprise

Tastes so good make a grown man cry

Ten miles wide

Looks so good

Bring a tear to your eye

Sweet cherry pie

Yeah sweet cherry pie

Swingin to the drums

Swingin to guitar

Swingin to the bass in the back of my car

Ain't got money, ain't got no gas

Get where were goin if we swing real fast

I scream, you scream,

We all scream for her

Don't even try

Cause you can't ignore her

She's my cherry pie

Cool drink of water

Such a sweet surprise

Tastes so good make a grown man cry

Sweet cherry pie

Oh yeah

She's my cherry pie

Put a smile on your face

Ten miles wide

Looks so good

Bring a tear to your eye

Sweet cherry pie

Swing it

All night long

Swing it

Hey, hey, Ow!

I'm a trained professional

Swingin' in the bathroom

Swingin' on the floor

Swingin' so hard

Forgot to lock the door

In walks her daddy

Standin' six foot four

Said, "You ain't gonna swing

with my daughter no more."

CHORUS

Sweet Cherry Pie

Yeah! Huh!

Swing it!
