I'm just getting into Golf but would like to get really good and am looking at cheaper alternatives than going to the range or driving balls across the street only to have to spend 30 minutes to go find them while losing a lot of them. I like the fact that the Birdie Balls only go 30-40 yards and was just looking for input from others. | ||

Still, smashing your 6 iron 180-200 yards tells me you are either some type of monster, or prioritizing power over all else (given your current experience level). | ||

I may still be swinging harder than I should. I dunno. Presuming that I hold my form during the swing, the shots go straight. I used to have a fairly consistent draw on my shots, but it hasn't shown up for a week or so. I generally feel like I'm under control with my swing. I don't swing myself off-balance. | ||

Also depend on where he lives. Me hitting 7 Iron 190-200 is something entirely different than someone doing so at sea level. | ||

If not, we can shoot to play sometime after I get back from vacation...so like last weekend of July or first weekend of August. If anyone else from TL wants to drive hundreds of miles to round out the foursome...that's all good by me I'll see what I can do for this weekend. I should know by the end of tomorrow. Where do you usually play? | ||

This was just one of those days where I was rotten. Everything looked good during warmups and then on the first hole. But after that, I was just bad. I was hitting behind the ball all day long. I tweaked something in my back that was aggravating me, so I just couldn't get into a good rhythm. I had a really bad time getting out over my left foot on my swing. I couldn't hit anything well EXCEPT for bunker shots (seriously, WTF?). And this was a pretty damned hard course, too. There were hazards all over the place -- water, arroyos, bunkers galore. Definitely not something that I'm ready for yet. I definitely want to try it again on a better day, but I need to get a little more consistency and accuracy in my shots to navigate a course like this one. Scorewise, I double-bogied the first hole and hit an 8 on the remaining 8 holes. Like I said, FUCK. | ||

The good news is, this is still normal. As frustrating as it is, you aren't way behind the curve or anything. | ||

As frustrating as it is, you aren't way behind the curve or anything. Yeah, I don't really feel bad about where I am progress-wise. Today was just an abnormal day. I'm doing a lot of things really well with my swing. I just need to stay consistent. When I put it all together I'll be in really good shape. One thing that I think I need in addition to a new driver is a good lob wedge. I'm having trouble on the really short shots that I need to hit high. | ||
