He hits his driver 180... has no iron longer than a 7i and hits that 115 if he leans on it....and this from an athletic healthy in shape 50 yr. old.
I'm trying to talk him into making the trip from NY to see you. We have a mutual friend in Atlanta where he can stay and I think he will do it. It is has gotten so bad that last year he hit someone with a full swing driver about 80 yds from the tee on a line... the guy was bloodied but okay.... he said "I'm glad it wasn't your wife... or I might have been really hurt."

One of the worst I've seen hit a 7 iron about 80 yards. I think I've still got his video. He was hitting it 140 when he left. He had no idea that the clubshaft should have forward lean at impact.
I'll look forward to him coming down.
