Bernie, Talk about trying to overcome a personal handicap vs agolfing handicap you should be in my shoes. W/in two very short years i went from a 7 HCP to a 36+ HCP and only lost about 100 yards on my drives, no matter how long the shaft is on my driver.

Chris,
Geez, you're a darn gorilla if you can swing that 51-incher consistently. I
don't know if I could get the head off the ground. :-)
Think David is right on looking at Dean's post again. Was confused. I've
been doing so many 13° fairway drivers for my son's young guns lately, that
I was assuming Dean meant degrees. Forgot those heads went up to a 15.
Yup, feeling much better. New kidney has my blood pressure normal without
medication for the first time in 20 years. Now, if I can get the
steroid-supplemented gut reduced to normal and tight back straightened out,
maybe I can make a full turn again. Am 20 yards shorter with the driver than
I was eight months ago and about 8 shots higher as a result. Need lots of
practice. There's always another challenge for old guys. Right, Al?
Bernie
