Right the thing is last summer everything was going really nice from tee to green, putting wasnt the best but Ive improved greatly the last 2 rounds I  have been on I havent 3 putted once.

But with the winter not being the greatest and working around the clock I didnt get a round in all winter, now Im back out again... driving is working, as I mentioned putting is loads better but my short irons have totally gone, I have no idea why, I mean Im not hitting any greens with from 7 - Pitch.

Please does anyone have any tips Im going to be adding some vids of my swing when Im on the range tomorrow if you think that could help see whats going wrong!

Any help/tips will be much appreciated!

....anyone can sweep a ball off a 2" tee with a 460cc driver and a sweet spot the size of a basketball.  (kinda like why 8 year olds play t-ball)

To properly compress an iron takes a sound understanding of the golf swing plus some athletic talent.

Don't take your clubhead inside the line too soon, focus on alignment at address, hit more wedges than woods at the range.

When you say you're not hitting greens....wheres your miss? Short? Long? Left? Right?

Are you chunking it? Topping it? Blading it? Shanking it? Missing the ball entirely?

Need more info!

I have been having trouble finding greens this year as well. I either hit a push or a slice and miss left or right but my distance seems to be on, just need moar practice.

      Dude. Stop. It does not. If you're just here to troll about LIV stuff, go somewhere else. When you make stupid statements like that, it's trolling.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Hitting some good shots on my golf trip. It's good I can tell when I hit better shots the way I want to swing the ball versus when I use an older swing. Shockingly, the short game has been at worst, not harmful to my game. I am using similar feels to the full swing, in that I try to get my hands down. I've been nipping the ball clean off the turf.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!
