My son has been using the hay bales as a backstop for practicing his bow, so I figured what the heck I might as well use it too.

I done some analyzing and have noticed that my left wrist is cupped. This is really the first time that I've seen my swing. I need some work!

I'll give that a try on Sunday. Thank you.

I'd like to give a huge shout out to jhwarren. Dude, you're the best. He analyzed my swing and give some awesome tips. I really appreciate it and this forum is the best. Thank you, everyone.

I appreciate the info. It's amazing that I can't see my own mistakes, but they seem so obvious when other folks do the same thing. I had recently gotten some instruction from another forum member, and had a good round this past Friday. I started forcing an outside-to-in swing and actually hit 6 fairways-in-regulation. I was on the way to my best round ever when some old bad habits returned and I blew up 2 holes on the back 9. I can see that I'm gonna require a lot of practice to fix this. Since I've made these mistakes for more than 10 years, they sneak back in when least expected.

Yes, I start the hips and have a decent lag, I think, anyway. I'm working on a lot of things in the mechanics of my swing, as of now. I did more research and realized that my grip needed improvement, also. As you mentioned, I'm struggling to remember a short back-swing. Not to mention that I'm also working to stop the outside to inside swing path, which is helping considerably. In the past, i've played 18 holes and didn't hit the fairway. I've started hitting some straight drives espescially when I remember to put all of the corrections into play.

       I intend to put up some fresh video soon and continue with improvements. I hope to be like you guys, some day, and give advice from my own experiences. This website and the members are awesome.

The last 3 courses that I've played have been difficult, so my score has increased by about 6-8 strokes. I'm sure changing my swing is adding some to that, but today I will be playing an easier course, so hopefully I'll be able to see different results. Kaosati Pines, Kinder, La Slope:137; Rayburn Country, Brookeland, Tx Slope: 136; The National Golf Course, Westlake, La Slope:?

Amazingly, no I don't have a problem with balance. After an awesome fellow on this forum did a video analysis, I was able to bring my swing back on plane. And since then, I've taken my first golf lesson. The instructor says that I have good swing mechanics, but have some work to do, obviously.

I've been locking my right leg on my back swing which is causing some of the up/ down motion, if not all of it.
I've got to increase lag in the down swing.
My grip was fubar.
I think too much which is really an issue being seriously ADD. Maybe I need a higher dosage! Lmao
He gave me some drills to practice and said to see him after 500 balls.

After the 1st session with an instructor, he said that I'm releasing to early. So, I've got to work on that lag mentioned above. I'll try to get some video on my next off-days.
