lol Teevino, glad you saw the swinging the club comments coming, would have been surprised if you handn't . The spending money on lessons issue I have dealt with this way, my lesson costs €35, a good club costs €350 and if I can't use it right is worth about €0 to me lol. I only need a lesson about once a month so in real terms only cost €.50 a day. Makes no sense not to have a lesson!

Seattlepop, you are playing some amount of golf, would love to get that many rounds in. Fair play to you. I would prob put myself in the 90's category too. I have broken it 3 times and am trying to make it the norm! lol Hitting 450 balls in one session is for sure an excuse for not playing well the following day. The slightest bit of stiffness can destroy a golf swing out on the course. I think v shortly I am going to call an end to experimenting on my swing for the year. It is something to be doing over winter, now I just want to play. Its hard to do when your changing all the time. I must admit I have had a few 'eureeka's'. And it began with hitting the ball lol. I know what you mean about the feel of just cleaning the ball off the mat with the club and not even knowing you have hit it. I was doing that and it felt great. My pro said the next level was to stay connected and start using the bigger muscles to do the work. We started with sw and he got me turning through the shots. Used the old headcover under the arm, which I was suspect enough about. But after 2 weeks of trial and error wow. Now the club is swinging, the ball is flying with good contact, and its effortless. Total new feeling, and as you said, addictive!! lol
