Quick Update – I’m now down to 10 without a lesson!

Because this is my uncensored story of how I changed my golf game by firstly looking for the longest golf ball out there and then putting into action what I discovered, that turned out to be the one thing helped me achieve my goal of taking 3 shots off my game in 4 months – and no, I’m not kidding!

Go back 5 months and imagine the scene…..

Blue sky, still, late spring, the trees full of fresh new green leaves, the fairway looking immaculate and I’m out of the office (the best bit!)

You know the sort of day, the type of day that makes you feel glad to be alive and what’s more – glad to be a golfer.

I was on the 17th tee and was leading by one shot at my local course and all I needed was a nice drive right down the middle, the fairway has a slight slope downhill so it’s not like you have to take the cover off the golf ball, in fact you can afford to be conservative, but what happens?

Yes, you know and I know because we all been there, not only been there, but we go there often – I started to think. What if?

What if I can just hit it 20 yards further? I’ll be taking a pitching wedge to the green, which will be more accurate, I’ll have a shorter put and the rest of the guys are going to do something incredible to beat me, which they won’t and the first win of the season is mine!

So what did I do? I hit it as hard as I could and went out of bounds on right, was playing 3 off the tee which I scuffed and ended up with an 8, I felt sick, it was so frustrating, all the work of the holes earlier gone, in one stupid moment – why? Why had I lost it like that? It wasn’t exactly the Ryder Cup, playing more for pride than anything – you know what it’s like playing golf with your mates, they’re going to rib me for the rest of the day in club house, what was I thinking?

And that, my friend, is the trouble with us golfers, changing our minds at the last minute, which ends up costing us.

This is what started me thinking about the longest golf ball.

Forget, Titleist Pro V’s, Callaway HX Tour’s why don’t I just get the longest ball out there, my drives will go further etc etc without me having to do anything.

And believe me I tried them all, I’ve been through everything, everything that you think is meant to be a long ball. Srixon, Top Flite, Pinnacle – loads of them, tried them all.

– So let me save you a whole heap of bother and effort and still take shots off your game.

I was getting pretty fed up, couldn’t seem to find out what the answer was, if indeed there is one, then really quite by accident I had something recommended to me. Now, I’m not say it’ll work for everyone, a couple of swing triggers didn’t work for me,  but this took 3 shots off my game and I was a 19 handicapper to start with so not too bad, but I now play off 16, verging on15.

And the best bit – It doesn’t matter what ball I play with!! ‘Long’, ‘Short’, they’re all the same which means you can play with whatever you feel comfortable with (at the moment it’s the Callaway iX Tour for me).

What’s your best round of golf? Mine was  a couple of years ago at a local course, which is not that long which I suppose suits my game better (and for you wise cracks out there no it wasn’t crazy golf!!).

Anyway, I’d played at a corporate do a few days before, which because I was organising, got there the night before ended up playing 18 that evening, then 9 the next morning as part of the golf day and then 18 in the afternoon. So, that combined with running the thing knackered me out and by the end any swing I did have was failing me badly!

But that weekend I had my brother in law over from the states and a mate up from London and with a few days rest I was raring to go.

The intense practice I’d had earlier in the week really played dividends, you know, when you get those days where you hit the ball so sweetly you hardly feel it against the club – that’s what it was like, just fantastic!

Scored 78 gross which I was really pleased with, SSI for the course was 69 so to break 10 was great, never happened since mind!

Cheers, Andy

I wasn’t the worst player in the world but having 2 shots on a hole that was SI 1 was great at first, but to be honest after a while was a bit embarrassing.

I was a 19 handicap for ages and started to think about what if’s. What if I could hit it another 20 yards off the tee?

What if I could then afford to hit shorter irons into the green with more accuracy?

What if I was then left with shorter putts?

Then my score would come down – naturally! However, I found it wasn’t that simple. I tried all sorts of golf balls, from the high end Tour types to the well established Top Flight and Pinnacle ranges all with varying degrees of success.

Some days I could smash my drive down the middle with a Pinnacle yet other days the flag seemed miles away. Then to make matters worse, I could play Titleist, a so called soft outer ball made for spin, yet hit it the same distance as Top Flight or Pinnacle.

None of it was making any sense and was starting to ruin a normally decent game of golf.
