Hi guys, Looking for some tips or tricks on my swing. I am a low 100 golfer and I know could easyly be in the 90's but I make some common mistakes and end up adding stokes I know shouldnt be added. Issue 1 : Is on my down swing I have a tendency to pull my left elbow up almost like a chicken wing if that makes sense. I caught this by videoing myself. I feel I know how I can work on that but looking for any ideas that might help. Issue 2: Also on my down swing I have a hard time rolling my hands and close the club face or makeing it square. Are there any good drills to help me with this? This is what is really hurting me off the box I think, I some time mark my ball to see where the club is impacting the ball and it will be in the center of the club but I left the club face open and it spins it to the right. So, any help are drills I can work will be great. Thanks Matt.

Matt,

I would recommend posting a video of your swing in the Member Swings section of the forum.  There are a lot of helpful people on the forum that will point you in the right direction.

Hi Matt,

I would start looking at Key #1 and 2 drills here

With issue #1, you are mostly seeing the result of poor sequencing and/or the weight isn't forward enough at impact.

With issue #2, most slicers already have the face aimed left at impact, it's the excessive path to the left that is causing the ball to go right.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.

      Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.
