Yesterday while playing Hickory Knob, I absolutely pured 1 tee shot with my driver. I measured it with my laser rangefinder: 278 yards, all carry, no roll. It was a little bit of a pull, so it landed in the left rough on the side of a hill for a hanging lie 2nd shot.....
Anyway, it got me to thinking: if I'm lucky, I hit an absolutely pure tee shot maybe once a round. Is that what hitting in the sweet spot does? Make it go effortlessly, high, straight, and above all long? Is that one of the big differences between a good player and a hacker like me, the ability to hit the sweet spot most of the time, and for the pros, 99% of the time?
Must get boring playing from the short grass all the time.
