Mag, Lol, actually I am hitting it pretty well this week, and very soon I will be back in mid-season form. I will get low in the next month. Its all coming together. I cannot recommend Rotella's first book enough. After my first wrist injury I was with my girlfriend shopping for golf stuff and this guy I didn't know came up and started talking with me (lets say I had a lot of time to talk when shopping with the ex). Anyway he told me I could shave five strokes off my game by reading this book, before I even hit a shot. He was right. Golf is not a game of Perfect is a must read. The others are ok, but that is the one to get before all the rest. To all, something I have been working very hard on that might help you. Do you ever get to your favorite par three and with no wind end up 10 yards short or 10 yards long? Well I used to all the time. It was a Wheaties kind of thing. Somedays I hit the seven 170 yards and somedays 150. This was driving me quite mad, and I have a new method that I have been using to control this problem. What I do is go to the range and work the same club for three different distances. I will hit the nine for example 140 (my "normal") then 150 and then 130. I find this really helps me tune in the release and power of the swing. I do not alter my backswing as this will defeat the purpose of the exercise. Anyway, it might help you if you have this problem. Its also nice as sometimes I will work a higher lofted club a bit to get over a trap to a sucker pin or a fast and sloped green. I usually try to work it less as I find the direction is a bit easier to work. Good luck TH
