Seriously. He loves the game, but he's brutal. He's in his 60s, in good shape, and has been playing maybe 10-15 rounds a year for 5 years or so. He wants to get better, but I'm at wit's end to give him good advice.
A typical hole for him (say, 300 feet) is drive, drive, drive, approach, putt. His putting is fine from 15 feet and in. A par is rare, even on a 200 foot hole.
He is very inconsistent, but mostly just plagued by a horrible lack of distance. I've got him a small bag of slow, light, relatively understable discs. He generally drives with a dx shark, 150g. He's doing well to make 100 feet. There is little spin, tons of flutter, and he usually turns it over. In an effort to stop the turning over, I handed him my 170 Buzz SS. He quit turning it over, but still no spin, a fair amount of flutter, and nose-up driving.
He doesn't use a power grip, preferring a control grip to improve consistency (and even wearing a batting glove on the throwing hand for some unknown reason.)
Can you recommend some tips or videos for him? What are your favorite tips for someone who cannot seem to get any reasonable distance?
