Green synthetic practice mats are the worst thing for your golf game that I know of. You can hit six inches behind the ball and not even know it, because the ball still gets airborne. Practice nets are awful, too. Swing a weighted club instead.
Hold up a one-iron and walk. Even God can't hit a one-iron.
I'm starting to hit it better and getting the range on my shots. If I get my putter going, watch out.
Years ago I had a 1-iron I could hit 260 yards through a doorway. Now I can hit it through the keyhole.
The only thrilling thing about a long drive is if you can find it. There's a lot of guys out there that hit the ball a long way that are starving.
