I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year

My current handicap index or average score is: 25

My typical ball flight is: Slice with driver, irons not near as bad

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: slice.  Trying to hit more at target


Videos: more to come

I'm a starter.  Usually hit my irons fairly well.  Driver is a different story.

Think this would be a good drill for you. Will help you swing more OUTward. Also make sure the left foot is tuned out at address.

Update:

 

 

I cannot find the edit button for the life of me.  I appreciate any advice.  My drives for the most part are hitting fairways.  Around the back 9 I start missing more fairways.  I'm guessing this is due to fatigue. My miss is right.  Usually, not severe.

* after comparing it to the old swing it looks like the above drill may be still what i need?

    • How come the marked shots on the picture add up to 366 yards and the label says 325? Are you playing it at 325? In any case, that hole is narrow with a capital NARROW. If those woods are lost ball territory, then I think you hit from the tee whatever club is accurate enough that you'll be able to hit the fairway "most" of the time. That could even be a wedge potentially, especially depending on how restrictive the trees back near the tee are. I might seriously consider playing this hole as 8 iron 6 iron or so. There's more room up by the green than the fairway, so save the longer club for the second shot.
    • Day 555, May 10, 2024 Practice outside at WW, hitting shots here and there. Good day.
    • I took a big step back last season in terms of scoring. I felt I'd plateaued and committed to another round of lessons and working on meaningful swing changes. Went from a 7.9 to an 11. Back down in the 10s. Just starting to see some of the feel of improvement show up in scores. In fact a few rounds ago I had my best round, both score wise and ball striking and putting, in a while! Shot 79 with a mental breakdown finishing bogey-bogey-bogey on a tough three hole stretch where I go scared of the water blowing up my 70s round and yanked three drivers in a row after pumping it long down the middle all day and then hit two of three approaches scared-yanked away from  water as well. Feeling like I can put some 70s rounds together this season!
    • Considering I only played a single round of 9 holes last year and only a handful of rounds of 9 holes in the 6 years before that. Now playing 18 hole on average ever 2 weeks this season. Definitely improved. Not by a drastic amount, but definitely improving. Hitting more pars and bogeys. Driving straighter etc. Practice helps! :D
    • And yet, unlike a politician the only one we con are ourselves.😄  Having said that, the stories we tell ourselves are also the most potent, good or bad. So,  for me the answer is always a resounding "Yes!".
