accuracy

Question
Hi Dathaeus (cool name BTW)
I have been playing for about five years.
I think I have peaked in terms of hitting distance (thats OK I am 50 not getting any stronger)and I actually have labeled my clubs-for instance my five iron will hit roughly 150 yards so I put a sticker with 150 on it. Good idea or no?
Also,my accuracy is way off-I usually stay in bounds or not far out but the ball will go either left or right rarely straight down the fairway.
Can you give me some tips on getting a straight shot? A friend said to point the club head at the pin when I follow through. Tried it didnt help.
Thanks!

Answer
Hi there... thank you for the kudos on name... and the sticker, well, not that it is a bad idea, but I doubt you really need it by now after playing for 5 years right?
