Anyone have a couple of free hours???

**Big Johnny69** · 05-16-2007 02:42 PM

And want to teach me how to hit a driver relatively straight? Getting real tired of having to aim left to play my tendancy and then have the odd one go dead straight or be pulled a bit.

I'd help you out Johnston.

Sure thing buddy. I'm hoping to figure this out a bit for Trillium. Heard its not quite as open as the courses I'm used to.

**Txxxxxxx** · 05-16-2007 03:43 PM

I could give you a hand once I get into Ottawa. As I mentioned to you before, I'll be in sometime in the next month or two for sure since my sister is having her baby.

No duster courses though.

If I don't get any help before then I may take you up on it. But I play a duster course, if you will, so you may be out of luck.

I don't even have to look and you're going to say off set. And no, I won't listen. I'm not slicing the ball (ok, maybe the odd one). Just want to tighten up the dispersion a tad. A small fade is ok, but any wind and it travels a little farther right then I want.

You are blocking it,

It runs in the same family. Have it your way son.

**Fallys0820** · 05-16-2007 05:34 PM

He's not blocking it. He might be hitting that slightly off his target line, but the ball as coming off pretty good, just gets lazy about 220-230 yrds out and starts to fall asleep to the right. It's not a purposefully hit fade and it's not a slice at all, but it's just lazy.

I would suggest stepping back off the ball a little to "go after it" rather than falling off of it a bit, which you might be doing. Alternatively, play it off the big toe rather than back heel of the front foot.

That always seems to work for me when I fall off of it.

Now, how to cure my draw/hook, I want to figure that out

I was just kidding about the 'duster' comment. I'll play anywhere.

Hitting it to 10 inches isn't close enough?

**hoolio** · 05-16-2007 07:52 PM

I may play with him Friday, and with the cornerstone of my game being accuracy, I should have him hitting Tee-balls on a rope in no time. Expect to see him charing up the leader-board on the Tour in the next year or so.

**jvincent** · 05-16-2007 07:57 PM

Geoff, you know that the best way to hit a consistent draw is to set up like I do with the driver.

**Chieflongtee** · 05-17-2007 07:42 AM

Have you ever tried one?

Geoff my friend, I'd trade you games in a heartbeat - I'd even let you go on a free shopping trip in my "Stash of Goodies" to boot

**Big Johnny69** · 05-17-2007 08:16 AM

Its just some fine tuning I need. Overall I'm pretty happy with my game, just have to tweak a few things here and there and hope it all comes together. And driving accuracy is one of them.

Is your short game still holding up? It was a thing to behold the other week

Suprisingly not. Usually my achilles heel. But its been great so far this year. Just some accuracy issues.

I can attest to that. Geoff was chipping close to the pin regularly on Friday. Hey Geoff, after seeing you hit those "bad" drives with a nice draw I wonder if you should actually try to draw it instead of fading?? Those drives were looooong jsut started out on the wrong line when you expected to fade them.

I am no teacher but I would be glad to show you the set-up my teacher thought me, if it helps.

I hit much straighter now than ever before.

**Golfer_Gofer** · 05-17-2007 09:29 AM

Sorry dude, it has to say Bridgestone. Looks like you're out of luck on that one.

**Golfer_Gofer** · 05-17-2007 09:40 AM

I really like my 10.5 J33 460, but 8.5, that's getting quite low, especially with that head. You must hit a very high ball.

**Chieflongtee** · 05-17-2007 04:46 PM

very high ball.

High ball drinker low ball hitter
