Default Cracking yourself up 101

I was giving a lady a golf lesson the other day. I just happened to have the passive entry turned on on my key fob. I had the vette parked close to the range. I went to the car, got my video cam, left and the horn chirped. I went back to the car got my golf bag out, the horn chirped. Long story short, I made 4-5 trips to the car, to get something else out. After I made the last trip, she asked me "Why does your corvette keep chirping the horn everytime you walk away?"
With the straightest face I could muster I said, " Because it misses me when I leave."
We both then busted up laughing and had a great hour together.

I'm afraid if I tried to take pics, she would want to charge me for the lesson, instead of the other way around.

Without seeing your swing, I can't make any steadfast suggestions. BUT, I will say, make sure you have it teed high enough(over half of ball above top of driver), place 60% of weight on right foot(for a righty) in your setup, make a full shoulder turn(without trying to swing the club any further than normal), transfer weight to left side to start the downswing(do this by TURNING your hips, not SLIDING them), make sure to keep your head BEHIND the ball at impact, and make a full follow through by letting the clubs velocity bring you up and into your finish. And above all, RELAX! The club isn't going anywhere without you, so don't be in any hurry.
Any more problems, send me a video of your swing, and I'll see if I can break it down for you. Two swings from the back, and two from the side, minimum.

No. But she sure chirped when she backed into the fitting cart that was setting there.
