When you say that both your arms get sore and tired I take it that your pivot still has room for improvement. At least if you aim for swinging.
My right arm was sore yesterday, after about 250 balls from "lifting up my left arm with my right." I pretended my left arm was a rope and stretched it like a yellow band right to my ear and kept stretching as I went down as I saw on Alignment I. By the time I got to my driver, I was beat.
Teaching summer school with my group is rather fatiguing.
Which brings me to my next question for this great group of people at LBG: My driver feels so less effective than my other clubs and yet it is so crucial. Even with the courses getting hard with more roll, what are some of the techniques you folks use to maximize your drives?
I will start to vary my practices, now, and not hit quite so many chips with various clubs to get to the driver earlier in a practice. When I travel North to Minnesota, I want to take all the sheckles I can from Kevin and Jerry and then buy them dinner, as if I were a famous, accomplished golfing phenom, which is my current fantasy.
Since I cannot pay an ex wife $750,000,000 , I need to scale my fantasies wayyyyy back!
