I’m hitting the ball well from the tee with a very slight draw if anything. A realistic 220-30 meters. Ball flight is quite high (a regular flex Taylormade 10.5 driver). I’m looking for a little more distance. Would a stiffer shaft help? Any suggestions?
Hi Chris, When playing social golf I have no problem chipping to the green from around 10 yards, as soon as I play a competition with the same shot I get nervy and either quit on the shot or lift my head before striking the ball and thinning it to the other side of the green. Any suggestions?
Hi Chris, Yes, I was born a “lefty” but started playing with right hand clubs — for over 15 years now. I think it’s too late for me to switch back to my natural stronger side — as I have passed 55! Any advice for such a “square peg in a round hole”? Thanks.
