[QUOTE="Phatillusion, post: 1499822, member: 541271"] 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. [/QUOTE]
