My wife and I overwintered at Cypress Lakes, near Lakeland, before we discovered TV.
An old pro named Johnny Mitchel had a driving range nearby, so I had a few lessons with him.
He taught me what he called the 'Texas Wind Shot' and I used it to advantage on several occasions for years after.
Closed face driver, short backswing, and was basically a worm burner, but you could get fair distance.
