It's that easy....?
why havent i been doing that?
to think in only a few minutes on the range i can fix my slice and occasional hook and then i'll hit it straight for 18 holes

You state these things as if you are still playing and playing consistently. No one says "I'll do such and such" if they are not currently still doing said "such and such." Typically, someone who played only 10 rounds and stopped playing would say something like "I would" or "I used to." Your shtick is retarded and transparent.
All I was saying is that when I'd go play, I'd go to the range first.

I just flatten it out slightly, and bam, slice is gone. I practice getting it in the right "slot", and I'm good to go.

no, all you're saying is that when you go play after only playing 10 rounds of golf you can correct a slice with a few balls on the range and be good enough to hit the ball 300 yards consistently off the tee for your round
look, if you are being honest, you really need to quit your job, hire an agent and devote all your time to golf
with your natural ability you'll be playing in the US Open by next year

I know people say a baseball swing is bad for golf, but I don't transfer my weight the same way a baseball player would.
On the range I'm around 300. Sometimes less, sometimes more.
You are so full of shite. 10 rounds and you can correct your slice on the range before a round. This is an insane lie.

Two things people lie about the most:
1) Dick size
2) How far they drive the golf ball
In reality though, this is always the end result of a golf thread. Someone says they can hit it 300 yards or shot a good score and there is a 10 page pissing match about it. We should just settle this like men and have this dude post a video of his swing.

Would mean nothing without trackman or some other way to not bullshite whatever distance he is claiming.
If he had said he had been playing for 10 years or 10 months even, his story could possibly be believable. But 10 rounds??? GTFO.

I've been wanting to play, so I'll get out there sometime soon.

Yeah, but you can usually tell how far a person can hit it by their swing. You can tell a lot about distance/ball flight just by looking at a person's tempo and weight shift.

Or you could just go outside and film yourself hitting a pine cone.

What you doing this weekend. Can't stop by the range for a few. I'm sure your phone has a video camera..

Like I said, I have played baseball my whole life. Turning my hips, shifting my weight, and hitting a ball comes naturally.
I would sometimes have a little slice, but I can fix it through trial and error by finding the right swing plane.

Because it's not that easy. You can keep this shtick going as long as you like, but it will never make it true.

Just fricking stop already. No one fixes a slice that easily, most certainly not someone that has only played 10 rounds of golf.

I'm out of town. But next weekend, or maybe sometime during the week I'll go to the range.

That isn't any easier. And we haven't even touched on the distance control and course management you wouldn't have after 10 rounds. You bit off more than you could chew with the 10 rounds bullshite, just admit it already.

But other than that, everything else I said has been accurate.

Do you live at a driving range? Unless you do, your claims are still way out there.
