Driver

Been working a lot on the driver lately because I've been playing longer courses finally. Played Lesigny and Clement Ader. Now Champigny seems like a pitch and putt.

Everytime it seems like I get the driver down and not slicing it slowly comes back. So I have to try different "magic" things each time to help. The last one was doing a one piece takeaway. That cured the slice for about 2 weeks. Then on the range it came back. So it was either slicing or pulling but never straight. Then just this past weekend it was trying to really flatten out the swing like a baseball swing and go inside out. Well just for fun I was swinging all out and sailed a couple all the way to the other side. I'm sure of this because a guy picked up one of my balls that rolled by him and hit it back. So that's about a 300 yard drive. But the wind was at my back. But it was with practice balls. But it was fun to do that. And it was going straight. Not in the same direction each time be straight.

So still working on the driver which is fickle but irons and hybrid are pretty solid now even off grass.
