Anyway, I can see improvement there, but as for the driver, it's screaming-pull-left city, or ripping push-slice-right city, with the occasional down the middle drive, followed by an empire-state-building pop-up. Oh, and I'm hitting the ground a lot, as well. I'm losing it, I tell ya. Does anyone have any plain-english, non-TGM-y, basic driver advice, as far as "dos" and "don'ts"?
Look, we all want to run before we walk, but shouldn't you be doing thousands of basic motion(chip) shots, then moving on to acquired motion(punch) shots, before you worry about hitting a soft 220 yard draw with your driver? Implement what Ted has taught you, and eventually the rest will come.
