I was hitting at the range today and on one swing it made a weird sound. When I looked up to see the flight of the ball, all I saw was the club head flying gracefully through the air.

Never saw the ball.....

Yep, they can although they will probably have to reshaft it so plan on paying for that since it is 16 years old.

I know how you feel Will my PW snap at the hossle 2 weeks ago in a tournament. Had a side hill lie and took too steep of swing and SNAP ball goes along with the head of the club good thing for me my playing partner was behind me and not where his is ball was.

FWIW, we had a noob sign up from Springfield today. Claims his occupation as "professional golfer".

Cool, huh?

I've had it with this sport.

I just started playing last year. Really, I was never really any good. I wasn't a complete mess out there. On occasion I could hit a decent tee shot. Plus, my 7 iron on down was pretty trustworthy.

For the past 2 months though, I can't hit shit. Nothing. I'm a lefty aall of a sudden every tee shot I hit goes directly right. Today, I almost hit some guys on a green that was directly to my right. The ball went over their heads (thank god, they never saw it. I never would have had time to warn them.) EVERY f'n iron I hit sprays off to the left. EVERY SINGLE F'N ONE !!! No matter what iron I hit.

I've played high school basketball, and Amercan Legion baseball. I was a pretty decent athlete. But JFC this game gets in your f'n head.

I came home from today from our usual Sunday round and threw my clubs in the front yard.

F' it.

This was nowhere near as good as your last golf rant

But Will what it sounds like is what is said before. You are trying to hard. Heck those of us who have played awhile even goes through sperts like this. Don't press go out and not keep score just tee it up and enjoy the good shots. When those happen try to remember how you did it and try to repeat it.

Think of it this way if you hit everyball straight you don't get to practice those shots that legends are made of. Those 125 yard PW sliced under the tree, glancing off the bridge, over the pond onto the greem 10 feet from the hole.

Also if you hit in the fairway all the time you only see a minimum of the course being in the woods, traps, wading in the stream usally has better views of the surrounding areas. And atleast you feel you get your moneys worth.

I get plenty of practice like that. I'd love to hit out of the fairway for a change.

Heck, I've grown to prefer the rough. I don't know how to hit the ball off the fairway anymore.

Yeah, but wouldn't it be nice to try once in a while?

I'll be back out there. But it's a much better game when you have a little confidence. Mine is shot.

As much time as I've spent off the fairway this season I could write articles for the Audubon Society.

I'm becoming quite the naturalist.

Like Jack Lemmons in the end of "Legend of Bagger Vance"

The thought went through my mind. But I thought "Hold off, your playing crummy. Work on your swing. Then, after you correct some flaws, spend money on a driver."

Not now.

Today.... it wasn't fun anymore. It was like f'n work. I like leaving the golf course happy. I haven't done that in two months. PLus my brothers are just killin' me. And those bastards are just ribbin me no end. (OK, that part is fun.)

You'd have been proud of me today. I threw my 3 iron about 40 yards. Longest drive I had all month. Seriously.

Maybe it's the company. You and I should go out and hack up a local course someday. No expectations whatsoever. I don't think I've played since the last time you and I played.
