Greetings and happy new year. I've taken a month off from golf (beer and wine sales spike tremendously during the holidays).

My big swing fault currently is getting sloppy at the end of my backswing, and my arms continuing to swing after my shoulders stop turning. Its not a huge amount of a swing continuance, and likely also includes a little left elbow folding, but its definitly enough to make me rely on timing, more than just turning, which obviously is never a good thing to rely on when you dont play everyday.

Im currently hitting only 3/4 shots until I groove the feel again, but would like some tips/drills to help me along. If I think about it, and remember to keep the club head low, and the right arm straight as long as it feels natural, (i swing right handed), it tends to keep me from getting lazy and sloppy. However, this is a lot to remember in the heat of the moment, and the fault tends to rear its ugly head at the worst moment. After I make the mistake, I know exactly why, and I'm typically good for another 4 - 6 holes, then I tend to get complacent again. I'd like to avoid this in the first place, obviously. Aside from continuing to work on it, Any suggestions or drills?

Also sounds like you need more extensor action(Golfing Machine term) on the back swing, which is feeling the right arm extended to maintain the swing radius on the backswing.  Here are a couple videos.  Here I am working on extensor action through feeling like I'm pushing my right hand into my left

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      By klineka ·

      How isn't bogey a great score? As a 20 handicap every single time you make a bogey you are playing better than expected. Because if you bogeyed every hole you'd most likely be lower than a 20. You're a high handicap playing a hole that is lined with hazards the entire length of it on both sides.  Bogey is a very solid score for you on that hole.  From 300yds off the tee PGA tour players average 3.71 strokes to hole out. As a high handicap you are going to be more than 1 full stroke higher than that, probably closer to 2 full strokes higher.  If you had 100 different 20 handicaps play that hole I would bet a lot of money that the scoring average is greater than 5.0 Sometimes courses have really hard holes. Play for your bogey, be ecstatic about a par, and do everything possible to minimize double bogey.

      I don’t think bogey is a great score here. Will try the 7i - 7i approach. If I’m short, I think I can get out of the bunker and if I’m on the right I can chip up.

      Super narrow hole. Stroke average will likely be well over par here. Since it seems like it only plays what 300-305 for you from white tees I don't think 7i - 7i is the worst play if 7i dispersion is small enough that it would hardly ever reach the penalty hazards.  But if your 7i dispersion brings the hazards into play then you're likely better off hitting something further up there since everything would have the hazard in play.
