How do you deal with realizing that you will never have a good drive? My drives are about 230ft if I am real lucky and I have come to the conclusion that that is as far as they will ever be. I have tried everything from the silly "X" step to the goofy forehand and usually end up with sore ankles,knees,hips etc and a nice big helping of discouragement. What makes it worse is that I really love this game and want so bad to play really well but it just isn't there. Whatever "it" is for a good drive I don't have it and probably never will.
So my question goes out for those who are in my shoes...How do you deal with trying to play with others who's drives are 300ft or more and you know you ain't never gonna make that kinda distance.
I have been working on my putting to compensate for my God awful drives hoping that will help. My putting has become pretty good.
My question is for those whose drives suck. How did you finally come to terms with it and let it go?
And for those of you who can drive a quarter of a mile,great! But if those of us who can't drive it that far are on your team how about a little patience?
We love playing just as much as you.
