Nothing much to report at the moment. Played in the June monthly medal and came in with a 78 which placed me third on count back.
Still not happy with my driving at the moment, I have been messing around with different drivers for a while and to be honest don't like any of them. For may years my driving has been the flagship of my game but recently I am not happy with it, don't get me wrong its not that bad but I seem to have lost a bit of accuracy, a bit of distance and a bit of feel for the shot.
I was practising with my 3 wood recently and felt that I could hit the ball so cleanly with a nice shape to the shot, this got me thinking about how I can do that with a club with a much smaller head. I then spent some time hitting with a couple of large headed drivers I have and came to the conclusion that I just don't like them, I don't have the feel for the strike or the precision to shape a shot the way I can with my 3 wood.
Went home and set out on an expedition to explore the darkest parts of my garage that I have not visited for many years. Under heap of old golf bags I found an old steel headed 1 wood that I used for a while many years ago. Dusted it off and took it to the garden for a swing. Well! the head looked the size of a duck egg but straight away I could sense the control and feel for this club. Took it to the range last night and was impressed how well I could strike the ball with it, the "Tink" it gave on contact was great and the lower penetrating flight was impressive. The shaft is a bit naff and the head is not good quality but it worked.
Today I have been on Ebay and picked up a classic
Callaway Big Bertha 111 Steelhead for a song, should arrive in a few days. Will keep you posted.
