To answer Garrie’s question:

I hit my driver about 230 or so. I hit my 5 wood 200 yards. My record drive was with a laminated 3 wood (325 yards in 1972). For a long time I used a 4 wood off the tee because I couldn’t hit a driver. When I took up golf again 3 years ago, I started to use a driver.

I don’t think my iron distance has changed much (I hit a 7 iron 165 when I was 21; however I used to hit a 4 iron close to 200 – it was my “fairway wood”). I changed from stiff shafts to regular 3 years ago.

The big difference is I have a deadly short game. My average golf score for a standard 6500 yard course is 88. On my fave exec course, I had 7 pars in 9 holes a couple weeks ago (it is a par 34).

A lot of people scoff at my setup – the so-called “Old Geezer” setup. I beat a lot of people with $2000 Taylor Made golf sets and have fun doing so.

Hello Don,
I am 64, handicap of 24 ( not playing to it) reasonably fit and very keen to improve my golf.Confidence is sometimes a problem, especially in good golfers’ company in a competition.
Slicing the ball with my longer clubs remains my main problem.
I know you will have been asked this over and over, but do you have some tips for keeping my club face square, releasing properly,, avoiding bringing the club head “over the top” rather than straight back and straight through and being sure to get the weight shift through to the target before striking the ball
I am not concerned about distance, only keeping out of the right hand rough.
Cheers
Richard Attwood

To J. Griffin:

Many thanks for the reply to my inquiry. I find it amazing that none of these folks are in the Atlanta metro area which holds the highest concentration of our state’s population and the largest number of our golfers.

Thanks again,
Michael
