Re: driving ability gone!!

I'm in total agreement with the other posts. Listen to these guys, they know what they are talking about.

What I did when I first started playing was to hit the driving range with one club a day starting with the shortest iron.(sw or pw) I made sure I was comfortable with each club and the distances before I moved to the next club. Once I was through every club except driver, I took the whole set, except the driver, back to the range and worked my way up through the clubs again hitting a few balls with each one. After that I brought my driver out and hit a couple buckets. IMO you learn on your irons how to take a good swing and once you've got that you will naturally hit your driver pretty good. Also, it is a good way to get to know what the average distance is for each club in your bag. Too many times I've seen guys start out taking only their driver to the range then when they got on the course, they didn't know what to do with their irons and woods.

Anyway, post video or pictures of you swing here and these guys will surely give you good advice on how to fix it. Even though I played decent golf for the past five years, they've helped bring my game to another level. I can even hit 80 now without taking a bunch of mulligans. lol
