    How do I hit my long irons more consistently 
    Same question 
    Try using a shorter backswing and make sure to accelerate all the way through. I recommend a hybrid(s) as well.  In my bag I carry 3&4 hybrids and 4-P irons.  Only reason I carry a 4-iron is for low punch shots.  Might use it once every 3 or 4 rounds.  

    Long irons are the hardest clubs to hit which is why so many people have switched to hybrids.  Much more forgiving.

    I've had a job, a task. a chore, even a few professions, but never a gig.  I'm envious of y'all. 

    But no, seriously, I've had more jobs than I can think of- everything from animal cage cleaner to teacher- about 32 or 33 different jobs and earned about 200 college credits at 6 colleges.  Currently, I run a little book and record business and help my wife out at her bookstore.  I'm hoping my next job will be working as a Repo Man.

    My older brother was a Repo Man for about a year.  The last straw was his car getting shot up while his partner was in it, and my brother was "stealing" the stuff's car back.

    Yeow!  Just like that scene in the movie!

    I recently learned that there is such a thing as an airplane repo man!

    Syracuse, NY. Death Claims Analyst by day. Racecar/Sign vinyl graphics and new racecar parts by night. Why two jobs? Cause after 22 years of being a cubicle office rotting shlub, i decided enough is enough. I want a job that i love, or atleast have interest in. So i startws my own business. We have grand plans but execution is killer. We have the vision to make them happen its just the funding to make it a reality is not likely. So at age 42 i'll keep plugging away at it and see how close i can get before my number is called.
