Re: The Driver obsession

augolfer81

I am not trying to flame you but I have re-read alot of your latest posts and threads. While it may be somewhat true for some people to leave the driver in the bag it isnt true for all golfers. Secondly, you are assuming that everyone wants to be a professional golfer. I know you started playing golf back in september and it is great you are shaping your shots using your oversized cavity back clubs. I for one do take the game semi-seriously. I went from shooting 83-85 consistently to shooting in the mid nineties in one year. I have no explanation for it. My driver was killing me. I went from R7 TP, to a Generic driver, to a 983k (my old staple), to a Ft3 (which i got for free), back to a R7 425, and than to an HS9. I had complete nervous breakdowns when I approached the ball. I fell apart at the TPC stadium course (4 day tournament) Moving to a 3 wood didnt help. Todays driver is a lot diferent than the old wooden ones of past. I am happy to say I am sticking with my new R7 superquad and am hitting it 250-275 down the middle with the occasional heavy draw. It was all in my head. Most of my post is pointless......But do us a favor, don't come on here like you are Dave Pelz or Rick Smith and regurgitate something you heard on the golf course. I gather that alot in your posts. I go to Augusta ever year for the Masters. I have yet to find a challenging course (other than the obvious and Augusta Country Club. I havent played either but have the score card for the CC and it has a pretty steep slope. Perhaps I have come off to harsh and for that I apologize. To those that cant hit the driver do what makes you comfortable. But dont limit yourself because someone says Tiger Woods cant hit the thing. I say buy the big stick and swing it liberally....
