whatever distance u hit, as long as straight, u will not hold up the flight as much as u hitting the ball into the woods n spending time/effort looking for it......

even if u top the ball but it goes straight, u can still see the ball.... seraching/looking for ball is the most time consuming part


just like driving....if u P plate driver, then drive left lane, then other drivers wont harrass u as much....gradually then move to other lanes when confidence come in

Hi Yuki,

Just to share my own journey, I don't think the problem you face is just restricted to ladies. I may be wrong, but I suspect all golfers go through it.

I remember when I started, same distance for pitching to 7 (could not even get 5 and 6 to launch). Then as I started striking the ball a bit better, got some distance seperation for P,9,8 ... but 5,6,7 all same distance.

Practiced more and started to strike the 5,6,7 better and got some seperation.

Basically, guess what I'm saying is that it takes time and dedication (unless you have great natural talent).

And to echo Eden, listen to your coach. He/she knows your swing the best. You might not get understand and fully believe it, but faith, you will understand it and see the results in due time.

Just 1 tip from me, SMILE as you practice, and be glad that you have the health and the finances to pick up this game. For some, Golf comes easily and naturally, for the rest of us, it takes a lot of time and effort, so enjoy the journey and don't get discouraged if it seems a little slow at times, cos the great thing about Golf is that time is not really an issue to enjoying the game.
