Lately I’ve been very inconsistent with irons and driver. Sometimes will be hitting these perfectly on the range (including nice long 5 irons) but start hitting fat or thin on the course. Even topped my driver on the course recently (haven’t done that in about a year!).
Part of the issue may be that I’m starting [...]

2) Did [...]

Tried this on [...]
