Curiosity....How are you missing the greens? You fade to much? Draw?Snap hook? Hitting it thin? Fat? Are your misses consistent?

nope...all over. Its because I taught myself to play golf when i was 14 or 15..i have a baseball grip, swing, the whole 9 yards...

i played up the road thursday, did better shot an 84. it was the first time playing the course it was a fairly easy course and i went to the range to work on my rhythm before hand.

I snapped my 7 iron way up in the grip...so now i have to get that reshafted...fun stuff.

I've been pulling my mid irons here lately so to compensate I've been aiming more to the right. Well you know what happens then, a straight perfect shot that looks like something you'd see during a final round on Sunday.

I'm going to play in my first tournament later on this month so I guess I better figure out the problem.

i've started to draw my ball when I get tired. towards the end of a round, or the end of my 3rd bucket yesterday I have been rolling my hands over when i get tired. I don't know if i should just hit a lot of balls more often or what...

The only tourneys I play in are best ball ones..and I make sure that I am the lousy golfer on the team...

My normal ball flight is usually a nice draw but this is just short of a hook. My BIL (he's a 9) was telling me that I was coming in too steep, but I don't make swing changes in the middle of a round. I'm going to work on it this weekend at the range before a round of 18.
