FORE!
That’s how many hits it takes for me to get the damn ball more than 10 feet from the freaking tee box! :fu:
Yesterday afternoon I headed from work and went to play a round of golf. The weather was beautiful and the course was nice and empty which was excellent. I learned some new stuff, which is great, but I am still far from decent. My hits are very inconsistent and I flat out cant drive. I don’t get it. It absolutely infuriates me.
I am going to go to the range some more before I start hitting a course again as it is too expensive of a hobby to suck so bad. I am okay with how i use my irons. Yeah I have plenty of total screw ups but I have a few decent hits as well so I am cool with that. I just have to learn to drive. With my woods, if I use them and connect it usually is a nice shot, but man is it rare. It is just like my driver. I flub the hell out of it as i always come over top of the ball a lot.
What i noticed towards the end of the day is that I am swinging through with my right arm instead of leading it through with the left which causes me to swing too much like a baseball bat. I really noticed that when I do this, that i never actually skim the grass on the practice swing which leads me to come overtop of the ball when I hit. Makes sense. When i lead with the left arm, I do skim the grass and therefore i make nice contact. The issue is that I can really only make nice contact when i have a damn iron in my hands. For some reason that driver just will not come low enough.
Either way it is a ton of fun just being out there and I had a great time. I really look forward to getting out there some more and hope that I do begin to get much better. It is a really fun sport when you are not so frustrated about sucking so bad 
While I was out with the guys, Alisha met up with Ash to head to the outlet malls to find some decorations for the office. As usual, she found plenty After their round of shopping they picked up some dinner for me and Kev and headed to the house to meet up with us.
Thanks for the food babe! I needed it.
