I feel like I have multiple things to work on with my swing, starting from shoulder turn to initiating downswing with hips to having no lag to arms not in front of clubhead at contact. I keep trying to just fix certain things but should I just start fresh and work on one thing at a time? If so what sequence of things should I start with first and move on to the next thing from there?


Thanks in advance.

From what you told us, you have identified problems with parts of your swing.

What you want to do is build a total swing that will move the ball for you. I suggest you take a couple of lessons with a pro who will give you a video summary of your lesson.

That way, you can see your "old" swing vs. your "improved" swing and work to build the improved swing. You'll probably get a set of drills, do a few each practice session, to build your total swing.  Then, on course, just think alignment and let the swing happen. If you always worry about parts , you'll have trouble finding  your total swing.

A good pro can tell you more in 20 minutes than you can figure out on your own in a month. Then, you'll need to practice your improved swing and use it when you play to really get better.

Focus, connect and follow through!

      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.
