If you work on your alignment/posture, you could easily drop 2-3 strokes instantly.

I could easily be wrong, but you looked aligned too much to the right. Or maybe you meant to have a slight closed stance.

your practice swing looked better. club got further back and your finish was higher. rhythm seemed better.
swing overall seemed a little bit too flat imo.

There are flaws in your swing, but altering your set up would go a way to correcting these faults.

I think your weight is too much on the heels of your feet, try and feel like your weight is more over the balls of your feet.

I also think you stand a bit too upright and would like to see you bend forward from the hips a touch more.

Your feet look a bit narrow if anything, maybe you push them a tad further apart and turn your left foot so that the toe is pointing too the target a little bit more.

WHen the club shaft should be paralel to the ground and to the target line (or slightly left of it) it is pointing way too much to the right of it. This happens because of the over use of the wrists on the begining of the swing (the take away)

The classic "taking the club too far inside" problem. You seem to have a very abbreviated swing with not enough shoulder turn. You are bringing the club back mostly with arms. I don't have too much problem with your posture could be tweaked but it is usable in my opinion. Learn more about connection (keeping the arms in front of your body) and using primarily a shoulder turn and lift of the arms to bring the club back. I would try and find as many articles and videos about the takeaway and backswing as possible to get an understanding of what you are trying to achieve.

All of this is largely a by product of his set up, in my opinion.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
