Very. I scrambled my ass off to a 75. I think I hit two fairways all day.

Can anyone give me any tips on getting the club face square at impact with the driver?

I either bomb it and it starts right and stays right. I don't slice, I seem to hit it with the club face open. Or I seem to slam to club face closed and basically duck hook the ball dead into the ground just a few yards off the tee and all I get is the roll and hope it stays in play.

Then every once in a while when I actually hit it I will get a little draw and it is long. My two bad scenarios just seem to go back and forth during a round.

Could be that your wrists aren't snapping through impact.

Going to play round number 2 of the year tomorrow

Not real big on manipulating the clubface. A simple thought, though, is to think about the emblem (or back of your hand) facing the target and being square at impact. If your gripping the club correctly, then you've got half the battle kicked.

Always start with the grip. Whether it's weak, neutral, or strong your hands gotta work together. Press your thumb & forefinger together of both hands with a tee placed at the base of them. Now take your grip. If the tees don't line up then your hands are fighting each other. Also alignment will actually effect your swing, make sure your lined up correctly.

Hope Toms can pull it off today...
Felt bad for him last week at the TPC

The pro that taught me how to play always used to say that if people would just concentrate on gripping it right, aiming it right and finishing their swing, 50% of his business would be gone.

 

[vol_in_ar]

which 50% were you in

 

[GAVol]

Obviously the wrong 50%.

Rain has foiled my golf plans for today. Curse you, nature!

90% probability its your grip. The other 10% chance is weight transfer problem. Weight on the back foot at impact will push the ball right.

nice to see Tom's bounce back with a win, after that 3-jack at the PGA

It wasn't the PGA. It was the Players Championship. The PGA is in August and Toms has won one

 

[vol_in_ar]

right...my mistake

Very windy @ Valhalla

I really, really, really, really wish I could hit the ball straight consistently instead of my over-exaggerated draw.

Company golf tournament this weekend, followed by the club 2-man next. I still haven't hit a ball.

I did read a couple of articles, though: Never 3-putt Again, and Hit Your Irons Solid Every Time, so I should be in pretty good shape.
