Well, with a recommendation like that, I'll give you 5 bucks for it provided you pay postage.

The best thing you can do for your swing is go to the driving range. There's one here that has something like 50 balls for $4. Hit 2-3 buckets of balls a day for 3-4 days. When you're on the range, ask the old guy next to you what you're doing wrong. Old guys are always ready to help a newbie I have found. I was slicing the ball every single time. No matter what I tried, I couldn't stop. Some old guy at the range told me I was looking away from the ball a split second before I hit it. He told me not to look up until I heard the "PING". Goddamnit he was right. Now I only slice when I get drunk (back 9).

I have a driving range in San Diego that stays open until 2am during the Summer... My golfing improves dramatically when I can get out to the driving range and just practice! I agree with Kman... spend a few hundred and get a trainer - they will show you more in 60 minutes than any training device!!!

kmanrox · 04-13-2002, 12:08 PM

monkey, which one is this? stadium golf or del mar?

viewmaster · 04-13-2002, 12:19 PM

Driving range is the best idea, I think. If you get there when
the pro is, you can get a stall next to them and listen to what
they say during lessons to other people for free.

None of those gimmicks work....they are only that: gimmicks. All
they do is pad the PGA Pro's pockets with endorsement $$$.

Professional golfers average one lesson a week. Weekend golfers average one lesson in their lifetime.

Sorta shows you where the money would be best spent, eh...

I used to golf a ton when I was in school and am getting back into it now. What amazes me is how much effect advanced club technology has now. Back in the day, a 300 yard drive was massive. Now, it seems everyone does it. Also, it seems that today's clubs are WAYYY more forgiving.
