Yeah, and I wasn't going to say anything, but you started onto him about weight shift, so I just threw in what sometimes works for me.

I don't mind advice as long as a) I trust the person and b) they are seeing the same issue each swing.

Last month I played Heritage Point and would have killed for any good advice. Every tee shot was out 10 yards and then straight into the turf or a wormburner. Since there are many holes at HP with the long rough, it was brutal. If someone had just told me my ball was too far forward at address, I could have had a much more enjoyable round.
