Hitting it Fat !

This concerns my father who as always had the problem of hitting it fat.

Today he hit everything fat, some wedges went 10 yards and he took huge divots on most of his fairway wood shots. He says the clubs feel too big for him and this is the reason. Could this be true ?

Or could tension be the reason ?

Its probably a combination of lateral movement and casting. With me, the two seemed to go together, but I was a bigtime swayer early in my golfing life and had the same problem.

Well, any time you're uncomfortable, you're prone to an ugly swing. (This could explain why I hack my way around a course - I'm never comfortable! )

Here are the usual suspects for popping a chubby:

1) Sway. You slid back on your backswing, and stayed there for the follow through.

2) Casting. The clubhead beat your hands to the ball. By a landslide. And now, land has slid. Because your hands weren't leading, the clubhead slipped forward and bottomed out before ever reaching the ball.

3) A shoulder dip. This feels like a good move towards the ball, but instead tilts your spine away from target, and drops your effective spine angle. The result? Loss of power (because you didn't really uncoil, now did you?), and now your club makes a better shovel than a ball-mover.

A new highlight: Golfing the home course on Christmas Day.

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.

For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.

A guy was playing golf one afternoon and was having one of the worst rounds of his life. Very frustrated when he arrived home, he opens the front door to find his wife standing there looking at him. "What the hells the matter with you?" she belted. The guy hauls back and smacks her up side the head. "What the @#*& did you do that for?" she shrieked. Guy says: "Why not? I've been hitten' fat all freakin' day!"

Yea, spousal abuse is always funny .

Didn't mean to offend anyone, just heard the joke on the radio and I thought of it when I was reading this thread. Poor judgment on my part - please accept my apology. Regards......

Whenever I am hitting balls fat I find that I am usually standing a little too close to the ball (not much maybe a half inch). Similarly, thin shots from standing too far way. I find this is very very apparent with my wedges.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!

A guy at work is having an affair with his secretary. After he and his secretary go to a local motel, after the deed is done, they fall asleep in each others arms.

He wakes up five hours later and thinks, I am finished my wife is waiting at home with dinner, and here is I am, what could I possibly say….

He asks his mistress to take his shoes out back and to the roll them through the mud – she exclaims “what” he says, trust me, just do it…

So he heads home to face the music. He opens the door and there is his wife – “Do you know what time it is?” Dinner has ready 4 hours ago, where you have been…..

He says honey, I am not going to lie to you. I have been having an affair at work now, for the last two years. I took my secretary to a hotel, and we made love, after which time we fell asleep in one another’s arms….

She looks down and sees his shoes and says – “you line Bas$%#@, you have been playing golf again, haven’t you!!!
