Fade off the tee was intentional. Minor draw with irons was “that’s just the way it happened” sort of thing. You’re absolutely correct about forward ball position re driver. Thanks.

Ok. I don’t go to the range much. But I’m about to go pound a small bucket with block practice.

Master fawcett says wax on, wax off
Jon, I get it. As you mentioned to Adam in your most recent podcast, and I paraphrase, ‘your wrists hurt watching DJ swing’. As do mine. (I have a whole ‘nother rant on teaching pros using certain professional golfers as swing models 
)
Here’s the situation; 40 years ago I was at an 8 hdcp. I am currently, at age 70, at an index of 9. I haven’t improved, but over 30 years, I haven’t fallen apart either. I see my path to (perhaps) improving or (hopefully) maintaining my game is improved club selection (club to back of green) and improved club-ball contact (Adam?). After 47 years, my game is my game.

I don’t think it’s crazy to say that you could shave 2-3 strokes off your handicap if you improved your strategy and impact location. At that level it’s a series of small refinements.

This forum has a bunch of old guys that can play!
Always impressed with single digit golfers over 60. It took me a lot of work to get to single digits in my twenties (before kids and some minor injuries). Hoping to stay healthy enough to maintain it for 40 years

I think at this point in my life/game, I have a very small upside for improvement and a potentially large downside of things going to hell in a hand-basket. That’s why this site, with well thought out articles and on-point reader comments is valuable to me. Nice job.

Sounds like you are in a good position to keep on keepin’ on. Yep, the child raising does complicate things, but certainly worth it. Stay healthy!

Thanks, Ken. While it’s impossible to address the needs of every golfer I’m trying to put content out there that can give people new perspectives and ideas on how to approach golf. Glad to hear it has helped you!
I’m totally on board with what @ScottFawcettDECADE is saying above, but I’ll add something that Mark Crossfield has mentioned in his videos: he knows he has clubs in his bag that, without him making conscious adjustments to his swing, will tend to move left or right. For instance, (if I’m remembering correctly) his hybrid will move left (as is typical) but a FW off the deck tends to cut. That knowledge might be useful on a hole that advantages one shape over another without doing something that opens you up to massive double-cross misses.

I have a lot of shot shapes off the tee, most of them ugly…
