From: rich on 18 Jul 2006 22:36 How many times have we all been told to "swing easy"..... "don't try to kill the ball"..."let the club do the work"... Often each of us ( well, a lot of us!!!!) just ignore that valuable and clear advice. We try to drive the ball WAY down the fairway. Sometimes we get the perfect shot, BUT..... far more often, we put the shot right or left..and sometimes we even top the ball.... trying to kill it! Been there, done that..... ( and I will probably do it again! )... Today I played a local course with a buddy of mine. He had a bad day and I had a slightly better one...but..on 16th hole I saw the light. I swung easy; that action produced a nice little draw down the middle of the fairway... Not as long as I can hit it when I crush it..but...golly, right in the middle of the fairway! What a strange place to take my second shot from?????? No trees; no fairway border bushes; ....just soft, smooth and easy to hit off of grass. .......................Maybe I ought do this more often...???....

"don't try to kill the ball"..."let the club do the work"...Rich ====== good advice, however some of the yahoos' elevator in this ng doesn't go all the way to the top. Any effort to enhance their playing ability is a lost cause. >mho >v fe >w o o d s y t h e o w l s e z, >g i v e a h o o t ! d o n 't p o l l u t e......

Of course, to get in my head, he used to jokingly turn it around on the first tee by saying: "Remember: 60 / 40 ..." Jay B

I do it often enough in practice, I don't need to think about it when I actually play. Martin Levac
