Ball Striking

Can't stress enough the importance of ball striking. Especially with amateurs like me, how much of a difference it makes when you make flush contact with the middle of the clubface. For me, I hit it square maybe two to three times a round. Which is pretty depressing considering I usually end up with no less than 95 strokes a round. But, man, it is a fantastic sensation when solid contact is made, you can feel the ball compress against the clubface and then explode off into the distance. What is tough for me and most amateurs is judging our clubs by distance. From my experience, I somewhat know how far I can hit each club. I'm around where I should be, but I know It's based on my satisfactory mis-hits. When I do happen to smack a crisp shot, the ball seems to fly an extra 20 yds than expected. It can be frustrating at times, when you've hit a drive in the fairway and have a 100 yd approach shot, and you hit your PW flush and over shoot the green by 20 yds. I've done that a few times this season, which unfortunately has resulted in OB penalties. NOTE: IMPROVE BALL-STRIKING
