exactly what I was thinking....
rabidrabbit, no disrespect honestly...
I know I swing hard, and I truly suck. I have never shot below 100 for 18, but I "know" what I do wrong, I just get competitive. a great example is me an JB42 playing a BUNCH of times. starting about 5 years ago we have golfed together probably 30+ times.
1 time with redtop is a great example. I was DEAD hung over from a night of drinking mead until 4 AM at the AH con, then at the course 7:30 AM with those guys. Redtop is a probably 2 handicap golfer (sorry redtop if that is off just a guess) steve, well, he can golf great, and bad, he has some rough times, then great shots. anyway, this day I went though a lot of bad shots, the on the 18th, into the water. a HUGE par 5, and I jokingly asked for a mulligan

I actually was getting annoyed at being out driven on every hole and just said F it and hauled off about a 150 yard off line slice. anyway, they play legit, and I played my shot from the tee box instead of the water hazard drop by choice just because it wouldn't hurt and game a chance at mental redemption, popped a drive out there oh 260 or so, 3 wood onto the green (FAR edge) and 3 putted for a par if i hadn't "gone for it" at the beginning.
another time after that I held a 2 stroke lead on steve after 16 holes, looking at shooting under 90 for 18 holes.... I put up a 12 and 11 on the last 2 holes going for difficult shots, and swinging too hard.
it's funny how you can remember distinctly specific shots / holes / and even rounds of golf.
anyway to the point (sorry for that stroll down memory lane) you really swing fast and low. with that swing it really puts a lot of torque on your stance, and throws your alignment off balance.
it's funny those who can't do teach. I totally see and know what I "should" do in golf but can't deliver. maybe I have coordination issues, or something else, whatever LOL. without decent deep spikes your swing will almost always throw you off balance. you'll come over the top, duff behind, whatever but not a solid hit.
oh well thats my thoughts.
