I played a couple of rounds last week and my ball striking with my irons was a little up and down. Some of it is mental as at the range its fine but i hit the course and it can get a lttle hairy.

As im thinning the ball at times im thinking i may be unconciously straightening my left leg too soon. I was watching the masters to see what the pros did and noticed Tiger seems to have his left knee pretty flexed at impact (giving a sort of squatting look), so my question is when should the knee straighten/begin to straighten, before, at or after impact?

Lee Westwood says he likes to start the downswing by moving his left knee away from the right which makes sense but when to extend the leg?

Thanks all

p.s. pretty annoyed about the masters, forgot ot put my bet on Jordan :cry:

Have you seen this video, should help with your question.

      Day 9 (10 May 24) - Played 18 with a good friend and one of his coworkers.  Was not a solid scoring round, but lots of opportunites for course management. Had a blast as we truly "got our money's worth" as my friend jokingly said.  Had some solid shots and finished the round with a solid birdie on 17 (the only really good hole of the day).

      I always wonder when people say they "tried" a golf swing out. I thought I had a topic on it, but when I searched DuckDuckGo for "trying" a golf swing or method limited to this site… "trying"+a+golf+swing+or+method+site:thesandtrap.com at DuckDuckGo DuckDuckGo. Privacy, Simplified. This very topic was the first search result. 🤣

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      I think you can get away with even a 5I or a hybrid or something. I don't think you need to hit 7I off the tee.

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      By mdl ·

      Yeah this is good to remember. Handicap is ranking where a high handicap player is most likely to shoot a worse score than a scratch golfer. Though you'd think a super narrow shorter hole would be relatively high handicap (as in close to #1 or #2 because a scratch golfer can hit 4i-SW and have a good look at birdie frequently whereas a high handicap is gonna be in jail or OB a ton? I guess it being short disqualifies it? I have long noticed that as a long hitting mid-handicapper I get an advantage playing in tournaments against players where I get 3-4 strokes because those are usually the par 5s that I can reach or nearly reach in 2.
