I don't know what a "good repeating swing" is. When I watch the pros on television, they seem to spray it all over the course - sometimes left rough, sometimes right rough, sometimes out of bounds, and sometimes right down the middle. There are only three golfers on tour who hit 70% or more of their fairways. And Rory only hits about 53% of his fairways.
