I have to say, even if I were Fred Funk and hit one out of bounds every 125 years I still wouldn't jump onto a golf forum with the name O.B. Left. It would make me gag just looking at my handle. How do you do it?

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
My middle initials are O.B. A fact that really amused some golfing buddies back when I was 16 or so. The left side or the avoidance there of used to be my main goal back then. I used to have one of those late seventies reverse C type swings back then and could hook a half wedge. My pals thought I was aptly named and added the "left".
For the last 20 years or so I fear not the left side, or a cyber name, touch wood. I can now hit it OB right or left!

One of 'ol Yoda's better students (about 400 years ago) was named Ben . . . Ben Kenobi. Somewhat of a odd duck -- liked to play with light sabres and all that -- and got along well with others (except for this kid named Darth).
But at least you have a good sense of humor, and if that isn't enough you can claim to have been able to duck hook a 1/2 wedge around a redwood (just remember to aim right).
