I need to get and play more. I have rich friends and thus have access to many of the area country clubs, with only having to pay for a cart if I want one.
ChickenScratch, you were talking about your issues, and I remembered my issue this last Friday when I played. I shot an 89 on a fairly difficult course. I hit a lot of good shots. And, once again my short game, or lack there of, was my relative downfall.
I literally can not hit a good driver. I can get on the range, and maybe 1 out of 10 is a good drive. I can smoke my 3 wood long and straight almost every time. But, the fuckin driver eludes me. I have tinkered for years. Everything from a 7 degree to an 11 degree, had drivers custom made, large head small head, hitting buckets at the range of only drivers, and I just can't do it. But, I can consistently hit my 3 wood about 260 and therefore usually out drive most of the duffers I play with (except this one guy, who is a freak, and probably averages 290 off the tee). I just wish I could hit a decent driver so I could have a lower shot and longer roll. Oh well...
