Yes!

So the thought was that my take away was the problem with my driver performance on the course.

I'm happy to report that this seems to be the missing piece of the puzzle.

I made sure to get the club around my right shoulder as part of the backswing.  From there do nothing special.

I hit two bad drives, but the rest were just fine.  The bad ones were not that bad either. 

It was a most comfortable sunny day here, with a hot sun and cool shade, and the golf ball behaving as it should.
