My dad bought me some new Nike Ignite irons. They had to send an order to the factory to make the steel shaft 1.5 in. longer because of my height . I also had the grips changed to some midsize Winn grips. It took them about one week for them to get here and for the grips to be replaced and for the lie to be flatten. Well I'm getting used to them and the first time I hit my 9 iron on the range, I HIT IT 150 YARDS !!!!!!! I was amazed. But then I got to my 5 iron.... I HIT IT 200 YARDS....with a small draw . When I tried to hit my 3 hybrid, I would always top it. Apparently I am afraid of breaking it. I feel much better with these clubs. All I need to do is lengthen my driver by 1.5 in. and flatten the lie. Well I got into the golf team at my high school and I got onto the Varsity team and I am only a freshman . The only bad thing about it is that I have 2 day tournaments and each day I have to play 18 holes. I'm used to playing only 18 holes on one day and rest the next day but not play consecutively. My first tournament is next week. Anyone have any pointers on how to survive the second day? On another story, I have been able to hit my driver 225 yds. It seems I have really been improving from my 7th grade year. I used to hit 150 with my driver and now I hit 225. Amazing. Since there is no golf class at our school even though there is a golf class at other schools in my district, I have been able to loose some weight in P.E. I can do 30 crunches in 1 min. which I really think is helping my game. Well until next time I play in a golf tournament.

I hope to remember to update my blog. If anyone out there knows any good drills for me. Please post them. I know this is a gaming forum but I have only be in the 90s three times and they were 2 98s and 1 99.
