I've really been struggling with my irons lately, relying solely on driver and short game makes golf really really tough. What do you do with your upper and lower body gets out of sequence? Are there easy ways to "press reset" on swings? I'm a feel player and this bugs the heck out of me! Any tips would be appreciated!

Maybe start with shorter half shots to get the feel of everything being in sequence and just work your way up from there. Concentrate on the feel of everything working together and make sure that you don't rush the swing.

+1.

Or take full swings but at less than full speed, like half. Full swing 7-irons that go 80 yards or whatever.

I get this problem. I start powering from the floor up and it leads to early hip turn and 15 yard fades instead of 5 yard ones. Truthfully, I work on locking down that lower body and swinging completely from the upper body. When I swing through, then I let my legs move a bit. This will lead me to some pretty hard draws and hooks if I'm not careful about my setup but it sure helps mid round. After maybe 2 holes of this, I'd start trying to loosen up the bottom half and syncing it again.

This is also a problem with tempo. Make sure you get a good feel of a soft turn in your momentum at the top of your backswing transitioning to the downswing.

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      By mdl ·

      This. Whatever your longest iron is where you won't be in the trees a high percentage of the time. If that's shorter than 7i (as in, you'll have to hit a longer iron for your approach bringing trees back into play with high probability), I agree you're better off getting closer. But again play the percentages. If your 3w or 5w dispersion is solidly narrower than your driver, hit those. But some people hit driver straighter, so whatever gives you the highest probability of not being in the trees.

      Essentially find the longest club you can hit straight and go with that off the tee.  You want the shortest shot into the green for your second.  If that is the hybrid or 7i or even PW, go with that.  You lose a lot more by being OB and having to re-tee

      My Golf Swing Journey

      By Vinsk ·

      @TxGolfDude I’m curious as to how long this ‘repeatable swing’ has lasted. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but we all know how cruel the Golf Gods can be. I too have had quite a golf swing journey. Unfortunately, when it comes to the golf swing I have zero natural talent. Nothing about it feels comfortable or natural. The grip? I’ve done them all and it still feels like I’m holding a knotted oak branch. The proper take away feels awkward and weak. Arms in a proper position, asinine and no feel of any power. I’ve had times where I think I’ve developed an acceptable swing with handsome ball striking for months only to fall apart. So, how long have you had this swing working for ya?

      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.
