Hooters Amateur Tour - Oklahoma

Came across a great local tour (probably find it a little greater in the fact I've my won flight two out of the four tournaments this year. And they are way cool trophys. Kinda the look and feel of a Heisman Trophy. Only, of course, with a lot more prestige. The tour's great, the golfers are great; but, the oddity I'm wanting to write about today is a sudden case of hitting my driver straight. It's about to drive me crazy. My normal driver tee shot has always been a banana ball. However, I actually took a lesson from a PGA Pro. (The rumors are right, that is the place to start.) He had me concentrating on trying to hit hooks. Now I'm hitting it freakishly straight. It's so, so cool to have the confidence walking up to the tee knowing beyound a shadow of a doubt you're going to stripe one exactly the direction you're aiming. But, as we all know, these things come and go; or, at least smaller versions have. I've never had anything this serious "come." But, my fear is: when is it going to "go?"
Of course, all golfers also know that with any good comes some bad. So, although I'm now striping my drives about 235 arrow straight, I'm hitting all my irons suddenly as fat as they come. But where there's a problem there's a solution. Mine has been to carry a carload of hybrids and just work on sweeping the ball on approach shots. I realize that part of my iron trouble is the fact the courses are still pretty much tight, winter lies. As soon as they green out I'm hoping I'll be hitting my irons to match my drives. Then, given my good short game (developed out of necessity to make up for my suck long game) I may just get to have another tropy or two on the ol' mantle.
As if being an addicted Golf Nut in itself wasn't bad enough; I've now found from winning that Lombardi was right "Winning is the only thing." Kind of a shame. I actually used to enjoy just a leisurely round on a beautiful course with good friends.
They say there's always someone better than you; and always some one worse than you. Well, to keep me humble, ol' Ace Middleton and I went out the other day, my two trophys in my corner, his Tulsa Golf Challenge Champion medal in his corner. End of the day, the medal stayed in his corner (by two lousy strokes! Actually, three strokes. We play in case of a tie the current medal holder keeps the medal). But, that was a day or two before "driver straightitis" set in. So, I'm eager for a rematch before the banana ball comes back.
Oh, and anyone having any knowledge whatsoever about the Golf Nuts Society and it's current situation, please write me at golfnut2011@yahoo.com. If you do, it may just give you the good karma to win the lottery. No promises. But I wouldn't be surprised.
