Re: Driver woes!!
This is more of a ramble than advice.. Hehe
If it was me having the problem I would just ease up on the Driver.. Just say its on a months holiday - use it at the range a fair bit and just get comfortable with it.. (just to get rid of the ideas you're talking about, i.e. its the longest club with no loft - you should be thinking, I am gonna vaporise this one! - if you're reckless like me
) But seriously, remember that you have to hit it to a target.. That one cut of fairway however far out.. Don't just try and hit it straight! I'm a big believer in (for beginning golfers) if you hit a hook on the range your next shot should be a slice.. With turning that into on command fades and draws with some work.. If you can learn to say fade when you want, you double your landing area.. On a 25 yard wide fairway - if you aim down the middle you only have a margin of error 12 yards each way.. If you can start the ball out along the tree line and know its coming back, you have double the landing area to play with.. Same is true for aiming into greens.. Want to hit more GIR? Doubling the target area is a good place to start..
I think too that you shouldn’t look for instant results.. I mean that’s Golf, you start out say hitting a green with 10% of shots and over time that turns into missing a green with 10% of shots.. Your 15% of beautiful drives will turn into 90% and I think it will happen quickly because, it will sound stupid but, when I was younger and got to an alright standard I had trouble hitting my SW well compared to other clubs.. It was just a little quirk.. I would pick up the SW and look at the loft and think I had to swing it a certain way.. I just got rid of that by alternating shot for shot at the range between PW and SW.. Maybe it could work with 3W and Driver..
