I think your time would be better spent not making fun of the unfortunate disease you claim to treat.

It was a genuine offer. I couldn’t imagine being in your shoes - I know it’s not easy.

Young, in shape, making probably triple what you make, and better at golf?

I’d bet a large sum of money I am ahead in almost everyone of those categories.

ETA: lashing out, I get it. I shouldn’t of responded the way I did. With my patients, I find it’s best to be the punching bag for them.

I don't know how to post vids.

My path is almost exactly neutral and swing speed with the D stock averages about 115

Yes except they randomly started flying 15-20 yards long. I imagine similar to you, it was an unplanned swing change.

Probably different fixes for us, but just as frustrating if I had to guess.

Make sure your hands stay ahead of club face at impact. If hands lag behind you are adding a few degrees of loft.

Serious question. Does it matter?

Are you on line with your shots?
Are you able to control the spin?

If you can do those 2 things, you can adjust the club selection to the distance and score.

No you didn't
Ive won the longest drive contest in every tournament i've entered sans one. Unfortunately, AJ McCarron out drove me last year in a charity golf tournament at Timber Creek.

My longest drive is 374 yards, no dogleg, uphill. Drove the middle of the green on a par 4. What's yours?

That’s ripping it. When I was younger and could hit it pretty far I couldn’t touch 374 uphill.

One guy I used to play with played what I called Star Trek golf. To boldly go where no man has gone before. He could hit it 400, but you had no idea whether it would be right, left or straight and neither did he.

Heckuva scramble partner though

Not sure, but I know for a fact I've driven it well over 400 yards on number one a Texas Rangers.

Also bullshite because you have to be in the fairway. No one hits every fairway on a long drive hole in the history of their career.

I'd be curious to where that landed. Not a lot of real estate to land at the 350-400 range allowing for a roll out. It's 340-350 to the dogleg for reference. So you're talking a 330-340 carry minimum with a perfect draw to have enough space to even roll out to 400. With a 115 mph swing speed must have been pretty windy
