Yeah, who would have ever guessed this young woman would get popular. Interestingly, she tee’d it up out of the high grass in front of The Chive headquarters. You must listen to the interview, it is fantastic.

An Attempt to Hit the White Ball Straight
Category: Full Swing (page 2 of 4)
Well, this looks all too familiar. Let’s compare Chris Paul (CP3) and Jesse Wojdylo:
We both take it back about three quarters of the way and follow through a little bit off balance. Hell, you would think we were brothers. Maybe I need to get out on the course with one of the best point guards in the NBA.
We have all been there. 195 yards into the green and ideally we would hit a 4 iron or 5 iron. We remember the last time we hit a 5 iron it went as far as our chip across the green back on #2. Instead of pulling a 4 iron or 5 iron we decide to hit a hybrid and hope it does not go too long. So, what is it that most amateurs cannot hit a 3 iron, 4 iron or 5 iron?
So, over the last several months I have become good friends with former radio personality and NFL tight end Mark Thomas. The first time I played with Mark I saw him hit a 325 yard bomb off the first tee at Heritage Golf Course. Since then I have seen him drill some drives that easily went over 400 yards (wind aided). Anyone that thinks an amateur cannot consistently hit a 300 yard drive in the fairway has never seen Mark Thomas play. Here are a handful of his swings;
While I had one of my best months of golf ever in July 2015 (five eagles and a hole in one) I knew it was going to come to a screeching halt soon enough. It did with a back nine of shanks a few Sundays ago. Anyone that has had the “s” word knows how mentally debilitating it can be. You have absolutely no confidence at impact and it makes it nearly impossible to get the ball out of the rough. Even though I had the dreaded shanks I still shot an 86 but it was because of putting and chipping. So, to remedy these problem I quickly went to the driving range.
Today, at the Quicken Loans National Tiger Woods was set up left on a par 3 that begged for a soft draw off a hill to the right side of the green. Ian Baker Finch, Peter Kostis and Nick Faldo were all in awe of the fact that he was lining himself up so left. Well, coming from someone that used to hit a power fade on every single shot I can tell you that you just get accustomed to lining up this way. This is me two years ago:
Hands down.
Absolutely not. Below you will see my driver swing and I shot a 75 just the other day.
The most important thing with a driver is to keep it in play and hit the ball on the center of the club face. One of the great things about making your driver swing shorter is you are not going to have as much of a hook or slice swing. Even if you do hook or slice the ball it will likely remain in play.
Time and again you will hear that amateur golfers have an outside in or over the top swing that causes a slice or a duck hook. Those that come over the top or hit the ball from the outside in lose a great deal of distance because they are putting side spin on the ball. They are also much more erratic with their driver, rarely being about to hit more than 50% of fairways. Below is a photo of me with an outside in or over the top swing right before impact:
I have officially seen it all. Today, while watching the Greenbrier Classic on the Golf Channel I saw a TV commercial for the Tour Angle 144. I immediately starting searching the Internet for golfangle44.com and golf angle 44. Of course, they have named this product the Tour Angle 144 which makes it difficult to find. I digress.
