Buy a new Driver and reduce H/Cap?

(Stolen post but worth sharing)

"if I can master the most difficult club in the bag I can master the game" is a null argument as most shot are played from inside 150yrd (~135m). In other words to improve one should master the short irons and the putter!!
The thing with golf is that it is the only sport played recreationally where a 'handicap' system creates a level playing field.....i.e. you can be worse than other people but are given shots to make it level.
Club golfers even win trophies by getting higher scores but winning through the handicap.....
The only way worse players think in their minds that they can improve is to hit the ball further.......it is a glamour thing.....and no doubt through Xmas and birthday presents and their own spending they have bought everything 'normal' in the game....so they show off their new item and try and improve through yards...
Lessons are a sign of weakness and defeat....better keep going with their own poor habits!Because they don't understand that you can do better with poor equipment and the knowledge of how to play golf then you can with good equipment and no knowledge on how to play golf.Since it's mostly mental, sometimes it works. Just bought a new 905 with a Fuji and it gave me twenty straighter yards and got my scores back into the high 70s.it isn't so much buying a better game, it is because that is what is expounded as being one of the best ways to improve one's game.

Lessons help, but even golf pros tell them to buy new clubs to take their game to the next level.Agreed, they probably don't take enough lessons, or can't, and they do not always buy the proper equipment, although it may be better. A catch 22 isn't it?Suggestive Marketing , that's why these golf companies pay millions for commercials for their products and make people feel that they can buy a better game , Yeah you get what you pay for when you buy golf equipment , but if you don't know how to swing a club correctly it won't make any difference in the world .
