So here it is, the driver I am intending on getting. Now it may look like it's been inadvertently stood on by a rogue elephant, but worry not those are stabilising fins. Apparently they are designed to reduce twisting and keep flight arrow straight. But all I care about is having my very own big dog that I can practice thwacking and the extra yards I can enjoy when I get it straight: this could be the start of something wonderful.
Obviously I'll whack up a review when we become acquainted and will update the in the bag section. For now I am looking forward to tomorrow's team competition. I'm playing with three guys I've not played with before and it's always nice to meet new golfers. It's strange but I think I've reached a point where I just want to enjoy my golf, maybe my days of technical obsession are finally oveer now the bag is complete.
Hey mate, good to see someone embarking on such an enjoyable challenge. I am doing something very similar myself and in 3 months I have gone from 28 (rounds of 117 and 109) to 19 (winning a medal with a net 57).
ReplyDeleteThe best advice I have recieved however so far is to leave the driver in my car/bag for entire rounds. Since I only played a 5W off the tee, I have improved no end because I am so much straighter. Meanwhile my coach and I are continuing to work on my driver and 3W trying to get it straight.
Give it some thought. I share your job in belting a tee shot 300yrds but it is so infrequent as to be holding me back.
Keep up the good work

Plan is just to get a Driver to learn how to use it. I am a pretty long anyway so a 3 wood is more than enough club, especially on my course. But until I own a Driver I'll never know how to hit one. Most definitely staying out of the bag for medals until it is trained in! ;)
