I videoed my swing this weekend for the first time this year. I’m over-cocking my wrists again, setting my feet too wide and diving at the ball a bit, but I’m hitting it really solid. Definitely some stuff to work on here.

The Heritage at Westmoor is a course I play fairly regularly; it is the sister course of Legacy Ridge. It is a well maintained track (even in the winter) that has a bit of a links feel to it. The driving range is normally somewhat bare, but the short game practice area is probably the…

We played McCormick Ranch on our trip to Arizona this spring. We played the Palm course. The course starts out pretty wide open, with water coming into play on a number of holes. The front nine was very wet and the greens were not in good shape. They were slow and rather bumpy. On the…

As I previously mentioned, I started using a TaylorMade r7 425 driver last weekend. I’ve been quite pleased with it so far. Specs: 9.5 degrees Stiff RE-AX shaft Weights in neutral, low launch (heavy by the face, light in the back) My previous driver was a Snake Eyes 600T that I got back in late…

I let myself get talked into buying a MacGregor MacTec NVG2 Tour driver at the golf store. It is the 9 degree loft head and has a Fujikara Speeder shaft. I used it for one round and returned it. This just isn’t the club for me. I had no feel at all of the ball…
