There are few more personally satisfying moments in sports than watching the arc of a well hit driver.

Putt for dough is for pu$$ies who can't afford to lose a few golf balls in search of yardage.

Yes! Go big or go home!

18. I'm not saying my golf game went bad, but if I grew tomatoes, they'd come up sliced.
~ Lee Trevino=

The face of the driver and the shaft make a huge change to the ball flight and distance.
No doubt, a good teacher can change your swing over a period of time.
To change the swing path and all the other things needed to produce a good swing takes
dedication and repitition.
I have had hundreds of lessons and practiced and played almost everyday for the last five years.
I also do a golf specific strength and flexability training for an hour everyday.
Now thats a big commitment for improvement.
My point is , its hard to make "good" changes to a golf swing.

Look at getting a driver with the right shaft and face on it.
It does help.
If you can pick up 5 or ten meters, it will be worth it.
Enjoy the game, its a great challenge.

By the way, a low index isn't necessarily always a good thing . . .

I wish my swing was repeatable enough to get fitted, but it seems to change everytime I play. Lack of athletic ability is my main problem.

Golf spelled backwards is FLOG.

They named the game "golf" because all of the other four letter words were taken.

No such thing as an ugly pair of golf slacks....but the manufacturers keep trying.
