If you're looking to off your hybrids let me know. Been looking for a decent 16 or 17 degree 2 brid for some time now.Sell ya clubs
What I say is true. Think about it like this......how often do you see guys hitting irons at a range, almost never. Alot of times guys will show up with only his driver and a bucket of balls. Being good off the tee is important but we all see pros missing fairways all the time and card a birdie because of their stellar second shot. When you see Adam Scott warming up I almost never see him use a driver...it's all about irons.Go to the range everyday and do nothing but hit irons....from 3-LW but primarily focus on 6 through PW and master those irons....your index will drop 100 fold guaranteed. All I did for 5 straight years in the 90's was hit and practice irons. Golf is all about irons and great iron play. Sticking lawn darts from 200 yds and in. I did that and the game became some kind of wonderful. It's hard to explain unless you've ever been in that "ball striking" zone that I speak of.

I'm assuming most guys can hit the fairway or get it into a reasonable lie even if its not in the fairway to pull off a second shot. If you can't even get off the tee box then obviously you need that. But guys are more concerned about hitting bombs than greens. They get that "how ya like me now" reaction. I could care less as long as I can get it out there past 260 and have a reasonable lie. Also...I'm not good enough to pick my spots off the tee unless it doglegs at about 200 yds. I'll usually lay up. Not that I can't work it around the corner but I usually just try to hit it down the center every time regardless. Now from 165 and in I will go pin hunting. I'm not just trying to hit the green I'm trying to get it close.What you say has worked for you but does not fit ever golfer. My game is predicated on hitting to my spots off the tee to take advantage of the pins. I see plenty of top pros hitting driver, including AS. I see them working on short game more than anything else, Irons and woods about equal.
The average Amateur can not get off the tee and need that driver to set the table. I'd venture to say more strokes are lost off the tee than into the green.

What is the best best piece of advise you have gotten.
I think this a great thread, some good wisdom. A golf buddy of mine won the DuffDaddy contest and was invited up to TPC sugarloaf for free lessons with jason.
They hand lunch, shot the sh!t and got some tips. The best tip Jason gave him was 'lower your expectations'
I thought this was great because we all hold ourselves to very lofty goals. And when these aren't reached we get discouraged or angry. Deep down inside we all know how good we are, I think if we start touching that, golf will be enjoyable. It will also give you some real insight into what you need to work on.
