As you may have read in my posts, I have been having a great time on the course lately.  My game has really begun to have consistancy, I have improved my club selection no end.  Often in the past I have over estimated my abilities and woefully under-clubbed. The usual fault with the amature game.  After listening to much advice, watching video after video, and acknowledging that I do not posess the the power of Ernie, Monty & Tiger, I conceeded to the fact I must go one club more.  This has turned it all around.  My handicap has been reduced again, now 14.5.  My companions have noticed the change more through their pocket than they would like. It has been a while since I had to pay for the coffees & bacon rolls.
The major difference is the clubs I now feel really comfortable with.  Driver, 5wood, 60*w & putter.  I no longer dread going OB from the Tee, the Driver is purely straight with a hint of draw.  Using the 5W of the Fairway is like a knife through butter with the result that if I am not on the green then I am only a Lob away.  65nlovenit gave me some fantastic advice regarding the LW, from the suitable loft to its actual use (a big thanks there).  This guy is really worth listening to for all those new to the game (and others).  I am yearning to get up to Carnoustie in May, if my game is still feeling as good as it is now, I will be very happy.
