I'm having some trouble keeping my right knee flexed at the top of my swing. Instead of a flex position, I'm straightening my leg and it's causing a few problems, mainly consistent contact.

Any drills I can implement to help me fix this problem?

I used to (still do) have the exact same problem where I would straighten out my right leg like they do in stack and tilt (i think they do at least).

Best way is to consciously remember to keep the flex in your knee the same from address all the way to top of back swing..

if you want a drill: put a folded up towel under the outside of your right foot (majority of the right half of your right foot). if you swing like this you will have to keep the flex in your knee or else you'll miss the ball or thin it and you will also get a really good feeling of preventing your weight from moving too far outside of your right foot.

Yeah, I agree. If your only swing thought is focusing on your knee flex, you're bound to do it right. If your knee is also sliding to the right while straightening, you can do the Ben Hogan drill - put a club at the same angle as your right leg and rest it against your leg. Maintain this angle throughout the practice swing.

      Ok, it's been a while, but I finally got the 18th hole! It was the only one left over from last year and it took 14 months, but I got it today. It is a slight dogleg right, plays 425 up to an elevated green into the prevailing wind. Playing slightly up, I hit driver and had about 160 into the green. Hit 6 iron to 4 feet and with a straight uphill putt made it center cut! Now I can stop thinking about that hole!  All I have left this year is 5, 15, and 17.  Let's Go!

      Yeah, that's what most of the guys there were saying. I'm guessing they weren't able to cut them due to all the rain. Or maybe they are growing really fast and since we tee'd off at 6PM... 😜

      Frankly, one could be forgiven for thinking there was some truth to the rumor as seemed like he was laying the groundwork for a while with his softened stance on LIV.

      Well, Rory nipped those rumors in the bud: Rory McIlroy: 'I'll play the PGA Tour for the rest of my career' - world number two dismisses LIV Golf link Rory McIlroy says he will play on the PGA Tour "for the rest of my career" as he quashes rumours of him making a big-money move to LIV Golf. I suppose you never know, but it's a stark contrast from how, for example, Cam Smith handled the rumors. Feeling much better about this today.
