I don't know what's going on with me. 5,6,7,& 8 irons only going 150 yards, yes all 4 going the same distance with different flight patterns


That's is weird.. I'm sure someone way more experienced can explain that..

Driver can't make it to 200. I am having therapy on my shoulder because of tendonitis but the only time it does not hurt is when I swing.


Still could have a lot to do with it.. even though it's not hurting you still may not have the same range of motion as you had..

My driver right now, no matter how I'm teeing it up I'm either hit the top of my driver and under the ball or I'm topping the shite out of it..

It’s why I moved to Chicago! The Baton Rouge golf scene is flat out horrendous.

You might be swaying off the ball.

This leads to inconsistent contact.

Turn.

That could be it.. I've been trying to learn how to really use more of my body for my swing as opposed to being all arms.. Wondering if in my weight transfer in the backswing is causing me to sway... guessing I'm in need of a coaching session or 2 now

If I do get a good drive which is super rare suddenly, I scoop up a big piece of mud at Webb.
It seems like one never improves.

So dumb.
So many fun hobbies out there


A lot of us are struggling just the same.

My instructor says hold on to the highlights.

I'm perfectly fine if I'm playing alone. If I'm paired with someone it's always someone that's been playing for 20 years, and the guy is not going to resist giving some tips, but I'm the jerk if I say no thanks. That shite is the most annoying part of golf IMO.

It's like they don't remember that they used to suck too and you just have to endure it to get better.

To stop swaying, I like to swing with my feet very close together, almost touching.

It makes you turn because if you sway, you fall down.
