My mind was in the gutter too on the teacher practice thing.
My golf instructor harps on me about practice and getting out on the course.
My golf swing has gone south the last 2 weeks. I keep hitting the hosel on my irons, but I am starting to fix my problem. Most of it was just a matter of focusing my eyes better on the ball, putting more weight on my heels and setting up further away. Funny thing is that I am not having hardly any problems with driver tee shots.
