Okay well to start off I'm doing this from my iPod Touch. I'm about 6'1" and I was 14 at the time(2 months ago
) and where I live there can be a lot of wind. There can be so much that if you have a small fade and aim 60+ yds. left of the water, it just might end up in the water. Well it was pretty windy that day and I was on the driving range practicing the Mike Austin swing with my Power Hitter. Before I would average about 230-240 but now I would average about 250. Well my coach, another freshman, and I stepped up to our first hole. Before we hit, my coach said," It would be funny if one of us drives the green. No. It wouldn't be funny, it would be awesome." The hole was about 400 yds. straight. Thing is, he said that before I hit. I aimed towards the trees on the left because I thought I would hit my usual fade. Well I hit it left and the ball is barely above the trees and it stayed left with a 25 mph wind helping it. We went to where we thought it was and it wasn't there! So we kept going and I knew it hadn't gone this far. Well my coach comes up to this ball 20 yds left of the green and asked me what ball I was playing. I told him then he said not to screw up my next shot. I thought he was lying until I checked the ball. IT WAS MY BALL. Well I got it on in 2 and of all things, I FOUR PUTTED!!!! I GOT DOUBLE BOGEY AFTER A 400 YD DRIVE!!! I SPEND MOST OF MY TIME PUTTING!!! Well my point is if you want more distance get Mike Austin: Secrets from the Game's Longest Hitter and the Power Hitter to reinforce that swing.
