And you can make a 4-iron go 220 off the tee...really.

Of course, it helps if you play the ball way back in your stance, severely hood the club and have a swing so goofy that Allen Doyle would be embarrased...

Maybe so, but it only matters if it will go 220 straight.

In my case, not so much...

You still have a swing that would make Jim Furyk look normal?

It always makes me happy that you figured out how to still play after all that.

I think you need to tighten your grip if you have that far to walk to retrieve your club.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.
