Re: R U trying to get better?

My current thoughts are to shorten my backswing (which would eliminate at least 75% of my problems), and get my right side more involved with my swing. When I played baseball, and later softball in a men's league, I was a lot better swinging through the ball. My swing was still long, but my timing was better. Between no more softball and likely the 40-50 extra pounds I have since I last played, I don't get through the ball as well as I used to. And I can't have a swing that relies so heavily on timing - I need a shorter backswing so I can get the meat of the club on the ball more often. I have played 3 consecutive rounds at an executive course (12 par 3's) and have not hit more than 3 greens in any round. That's pitiful, and miserable...
