Buy yourself 10 lessons instead and learn how to swing a golf club. You can buy hybrid clubs all day, but if you don't know how to get the clubface square at impact, you're wasting your money.

Hmm. 500 bucks? Ehhh, maybe you're on to something........
I think the problem is that I try to overcompensate for the flaws in my swing, instead of trying to fix my swing. Example - last week on a course in Northern Iowa while on vacation, I'm on a 565 yard par 5. I hit the driver 300+, right down the middle. The hole doglegs right, with water in front and trees on the right. The two guys I'm with (we were playing best ball at this point) both lay up to the left, and I take out the 3 wood and smack it over the water and through the trees to about 30 yards off the green. At that point, I duff all over the place with the wedge.
I have seem to lost my feel for my irons, whether it's on the box, in the faiway, or in the rough. Can't hit 'em.
Or maybe I should think about losing this John Daly sized boiler I've grown around my midsection. That way I can get an even swing at the ball.
