So the bag drill that I learned last night served me well as I warmed up with my irons today.
And the casting enlightenment helped a little bit when I took out the driver.
I was still inconsistent, however I hit a lot more drives dead left.
I think I am over swinging.
I need to learn how to swing my Driver and end with a nice, balanced finish - like I do with my irons.
I also need to focus on an inside-out swing path.
When Eric, the old swing coach, saw me hit a few balls, he had me think about that path - when I did, I hit it straight. As soon as Eric would leave, I would start hitting a pull-hook, a slice, a pop-up, some straight - you name it.
Even though I am not casting anymore, I still feel like I am 'jumping' at the ball.
I need to come to be completely still at address, keep my center of gravity behind the ball, swing up on the ball and strive for a nice balanced finish.
I found this great video by Rob Bernard that shows exactly what I think I am doing wrong and how I can fix it:

NEVER LET THE LEFT CHEEK PASS THE GOLF BALL.
Eric also wants me to take a lesson with the Driver when I come back from Asia.
I think that might not be a bad idea.
The good news is that I feel like I have found the problem. Now, I just have to figure out the solution and groove it in. I have 67 days remaining and I must have patience.
