Been awhile since I posted but I j ust got a new GoPro and had an impromptu after work range session (excuse the jeans).  I actually like most of the things about my swing right now, but one issue I have had since I started golfing a few years ago is that my head turns away from the ball at the top of my swing.  Is it something I can fix, or is it lack of flexibility?

Also if you have any other comments about my swing, they are welcome!  Misses right now are pulls, hooks and the occasional pull/hook.  Clubs are 7i, 3i, & Driver.

Be sure to watch in HD ;-)

Thank you!

Get your tush up underneath you more during the downswing and follow-through to help control the rate of closure.

You've got some backswing stuff to do, but I don't know that it'd be a priority yet if you're hitting lots of pulls.

Thanks for the reply iacas. Would the feeling to actually be pushing my hips up and forward at start of downswing? I do have some back issues that do limit how hard and what angles I can do certain things.

    • Haha I made a I typo. I was thinking two things at once, ‘I don’t think bogey is a bad score’ and ‘I think bogey is a great score’. But I mixed them up and said the opposite 
    • How isn't bogey a great score? As a 20 handicap every single time you make a bogey you are playing better than expected. Because if you bogeyed every hole you'd most likely be lower than a 20. You're a high handicap playing a hole that is lined with hazards the entire length of it on both sides.  Bogey is a very solid score for you on that hole.  From 300yds off the tee PGA tour players average 3.71 strokes to hole out. As a high handicap you are going to be more than 1 full stroke higher than that, probably closer to 2 full strokes higher.  If you had 100 different 20 handicaps play that hole I would bet a lot of money that the scoring average is greater than 5.0 Sometimes courses have really hard holes. Play for your bogey, be ecstatic about a par, and do everything possible to minimize double bogey.

    • I don’t think bogey is a great score here. Will try the 7i - 7i approach. If I’m short, I think I can get out of the bunker and if I’m on the right I can chip up. 
    • Super narrow hole. Stroke average will likely be well over par here. Since it seems like it only plays what 300-305 for you from white tees I don't think 7i - 7i is the worst play if 7i dispersion is small enough that it would hardly ever reach the penalty hazards.  But if your 7i dispersion brings the hazards into play then you're likely better off hitting something further up there since everything would have the hazard in play.
