Who are the golfers here and how do you shoot?

Always one my favorite swings to watch. He and Ernie Els were just so freaking smooth and hit it forever.
Took me a long time to realize that I didn't need a ridiculously fast swing speed to hit the ball a long way. I got much better a few years ago when I shortened and slowed down my backswing and focused on hitting through the ball. And I hit the ball with the sweet spot so much more frequently.
I now hit my 7 iron 175 when it used to be my 150 club. And when my baby draw is working and I'm getting some roll, I'm hitting my driver 260 consistently and up to 290 when I really pipe one.
When Anika Sorenstam was playing, she was the same way. She would swing so effortelessly and just crush it, and straight as shit. I think many of us low level players make the game too hard for ourselves. You arent John Daily and never will be. I would rather hit it 200 straight down the center then 300 into the woods.
When I followed Couples and Tiger at Augusta years ago it was surprising to me how long Freddie was. He was every bit as long as Tiger off the tee.
Played 9 after work. Shot 45. Doubled the first 3 holes. Got it together & played better. Birdied the 9th.
Fvck that, that sounds miserable. I enjoy pointing at the ground in front of me with the club head.
Heading out Monday. Trying to make it a regular thing, but lets get through one round first. Teacher, so plan to golf my ass off this summer again. Been awhile, probably 15 years since I hit em more than a couple times a year, usually outings.
Edit: Every time I post, I see Roy and miss him.

In a ABCD scramble in a strong C player. Not the worst player but certainly not the best either. I have more good moments than bad but I love playing more than anything else. We usually have anywhere from 12 to 16 players every weekend that play. If any of you have never been to Dale Hollow Lake State Park to play it’s worth the drive if you’re close. Nice course! Plus one of my best friends in the newly hired club house pro!!!
I usually do two trips a year to Dale Hollow. That is one my top 3 favorite courses I have played in Ky. We usually do a spring and a fall trip and play 27-36 holes each day, then go to Mike's Landing Marina to finish off the night drinking beer and watching football. If you haven't been there, its only about 20 minutes from Burkesville.
