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.

you're trying too hard. you need to slow down your swing...you're turning your wrists and either opening or closing the club face upom impact.

go to the range and just practice, or do a nine hole par three with aseven iron and a putter.

you just want to beat the forty yard throw.

I'm kinda anxious to play again - as soon as I get the time. I've had lots of problems this spring. Couldn't put my finger on any one thing I was doing wrong. While on vacation, I read a bit out of Tiger Wood's book "How I play Golf". In it I realized that there isn't anything major that I'm doing wrong, but there are lots of little things. For instance, my chin is too low causing me to not be able to keep my head straight. My stance is a little off, and so on. I've been working on these things and am hitting the little plastic balls and my pitching wedge much better in the back yard and lot between the house and church.

There's no doubt I'm pressing.

I've been to the range and I'm doing it there. I hit a 100 balls on Friday and out of that 100, maybe a dozen or so didn't spray left.

And when I teed it up, they went waaaaaaaaaaay right. Or they skipped along the ground and died about 30 yards out.

it's just frustrating.

Sounds to me like you're standing too close to the ball after you hit it.

We'd prolly have to play a new scramble format.

You hit em into the woods, and I'll go find em.

One last thing:

The funny thing is this. On a par 3 135 yd hole, I took my 8 iron, hit it right on the button and dropped the ball within 1.5 feet of the cup. Walked up, measure the putt... and.... gently pushed it right. But it caught the lip and rolled all the way around the cup before falling in.

Walked right over to the next tee and hit a 3 iron into the woods on the left about 50 yards in front of the tee.

F'n game.

Still, 350 in the woods is better than 35 in the woods.

Right now I have a bag full of mish mash junk.

Changed over to Natural Golf last year and am saving my money to buy a custom set of Natural Clubs.

I used to have one hell of a slice till I changed to the Natural swing, now I can drop the ball where I want it about 90% of the time.
