Re: Why doesn't the ball go where I aim

  Several times I will put the marker where it should be to compensate for wind drift, and the ball just has a mind of it's own. Could go 50 yard in either direction and doesn't land even near the marker. This also happens to my friend in Australia who became so frustrated that he actually quit play for a while. This is really annoying... If anyone knows a solution for this problem please post the answer below. It would be greatly appreciated

  hi

  were you using ez swing clubs?  that would explain it. even introductory clubs have alot of run and low flying trajectory, so it's hard to control.

  Glenlek:

  Just a theory. I think it's possible that wind and maybe other variables bleed over from one round into the next. Since I started clearing cache before every round, I've noticed less of this problem.

  You should expect some vagaries until you get clubs with more 'precision,' but nothing as wild as what you describe. 

  Of course: (apologies to Duke Ellington)

  It don't mean a thing if you don't get that ding. :-)

  Hope this helps. GL
