    You read it right. Probably would have wiffed the tee shot with my antique daily driver. Hit the sweetest 5 iron of the summer on a rope directly at the pin. 195 carry and 45 yd run to a green 8 paces deep with a hazard 2 paces off the back. All skill baby

    I went to the CT Open earlier in the week, had a buddy that played in it. Some good golf out there. I then went out yesterday to shot my best round of the year so far. Amazing what you can really get from watching various swings over and over. Different swing planes, how they get the club square at impact etc...

    Your understanding of how Rory, or anyone for that matter, hits a golf ball is comedy gold. Teeing the ball high and forward to catch it a little on the upswing doesn't equate to swinging up. What's he going to do, shovel it up there?

    The whole "upward swinging emphasis" is actually correct as a thought. Due to the fact that you should have more spine tilt at address with the driver you will be more likely to hit up on the ball. Also hitting up on the ball with the driver creates more margin for error.. You will add slightly more loft to the club face and are a little less likely to hit it as far right or left. It's just easier to hit it a little straighter if you hit up on the driver just slightly. Too if you're drive me is optimized you'll probably hit it farther. Higher and lower spin equals longer for most people. Ever seen how high Bubba tees it and how much he hangs back..... Hitting up on the driver is one of the most frequent pieces of advice given by golf instructors to amateurs when it comes to hitting the driver.

    Just cause you're hitting up on it doesn't mean it's a different swing though. Due to ball placement, spine angle, etc you might end up with a different impact position but swing should be relatively the same.

    Same with all clubs. Your swing might not change but due to ball placement an lie angle of the club you end up with different planes.

    A flatter swing plane with a fairway wood and hybrid will help you make better contact generally as you will be more likely to sweep the club off the ground which makes it easier to hit those clubs straighter.

    I think you should learn four different golf swings personally. The draw swing, cut swing, fade swing, low swing, etc. It will make you a better golfer and it makes golf a hell of a lot more fun. The hardest shot to hit is the straight one. It's easier to score better when you're swing is off because you generally have a shot you can fall back on. Tiger always says he never knows what his predominant shot shape will be that day until he gets to the range. I don't believe in using the same swing and just changing the club face angle and alignment. You watch any of those good guys on tour enough and you can tell when they hit different shots as there swings are totally different. Tiger and Rory's cut vs draw swings are very different if you watch them enough.

    I'm certainly no pro but I've shot in the 60s a handful I times and was a +2 before a string of surgeries and injuries and I've never had a lesson. Learning how to shape the ball in either direction was what really helped me get better. Oh and practicing your short game twice as much as everything else.

    Well... I've been a +1 to 4 handicap for the last 15+ years, even while sometimes not getting out much because of having kids, so... fuck you. Obviously the upward emphasis is achieved with a more forward ball placement but in doing that it causes adjustments to other parts of your swing and setup.

    Watch every player on tour hit their driver and then hit their wedges. You think it's the same swing? There are shared fundamentals in those swings but I've never met a good golfer who disagrees with what I said.

    You don't know shit about golf and never will. If you can't break 100 carrying two sand wedges is stupid.

    If you can't hit 6 iron why carry a 5 iron? Learn to hit shots. Low 7 iron, bump and run, high 7 iron, etc. Your approach to learning the game is so full of fail.

    poor bitter 4matic. i know a lot more about golf than i did 3 years ago. i didn't say i couldn't hit a 6i, i said the 7i is my go to club. i guess i should tell all the pros who wrote the books i've been reading that they don't know shit. as soon as i am consistent making contact, i'm sure i will learn all those shots. it seems kind of stupid to try to hit different shots before i have a consistent swing and make consistent contact. in the meantime, i'll keep posting all my shitty insights because you obviously get really pissed off about it. only one club i have is a sand wedge.

    i bet you make your "girlfriend" feel really good about herself.

    If you don't have a consistent swing you don't hit driver or carry a 60 degree sand wedge. Period.

    The High Handicapper's Bag
    • 3-wood
    • 4, 5 and 6 hybrids
    • 7, 8 and 9 irons
    • Pitching wedge
    • Putter

    Most high handicappers cannot hit a driver, no matter how badly they want to. Drivers are especially dangerous in the hands of high-handicappers because many view distance as the quality they most want to have off the tee.

    You need to own a driver - just practice with it on the driving range, and leave it at home when you hit the course. A 3-wood or a hybrid gives you a much better chance of finding the fairway off the tee. And hybrids are easier to hit than low irons.

    Don't worry Spook, golfers are the most "knowledgable" people on the planet, especially after they make a few birdies.......

    Comparing Hogan's swing to any other human's size, body type, arm length, anything, is like comparing Bubba Watson to Billy Madison....wait....

    Re-fucking-tarded. Especially after your retarded statement about not breaking 100 being a loser game....get a grip asshole.

    Some old dude/woman needs all the distance he can get....shooting 100 or shooting 90. You take driver out of his hands, he has less fun (period).

    Post a link to your GHIN. At least Spook posts his scores.

    And, I said, "bombing it" when you can't break 100 is a losers game and it is.

    i don't use driver all the time anyway. what i said was the last time i was here i used driver on holes that i shouldn't have. i don't get any bigger thrill hitting a nice drive than i do a nice wedge. course management is a big deal. i'm 47, not old. i love the game whether i've broken 100 yet or not.

    Yeah. Everyone approaches the game different. Super athletic people tend to have a harder time at first, then get better faster later. Fat short dudes can often play really well...but don't progress much out of their own fat shadow compared to amateur athletic dudes.

    My younger brother, a former Marine, plays with a 4 iron off every tee. He hits it 250 every time, straight. If he has 180 in, he hits 4 iron, choked down. He made a hole in one, 1/4 swing 4 iron, 175 downhill.

    Scoring is the hardest. Hitting the ball far, or straight will get easier. Scoring is all about being creative.....Not being right. 4Matic is retarded.

    My day yesterday.....first 4 holes...keeping up with the mini-tour dude I was playing with....not in length ( dude hits it 345 every fucking time). next 12 holes shitty, like really shitty, but making putts to save par, last couple holes, lots of nice shots heard from the gallery. 7200+ yards, lots of water, lots of OB, lots of native grass......
