Discovering Your Best Golf At Cuscowilla
Originally Posted by teach View Post

4. Very poor contact, including many ground balls and several topped shots. Even the drives on which I made good contact made ball marks on the very bottom of the driver. I even whiffed over the ball one time.

I have never been good with the driver, but I've never been this bad. These ground balls felt like a sudden shank attack. My questions have to do with cause and effect:

1.Does it seem as if one of the symptoms that I have described would cause the others, or do these seem like separate problems? For example, am I likely doing something that *forces* me to bob?
2. What might be the best method and sequence to deal with these problems? Drills? Training aids?

Thank you very much.
