I'm a decent enough golfer, high 70s low 80s generally but I've been having some problems recently with consistency on ball striking.  fat, thin, heavy fade and pulls left.  I was confident is was something in my setup at the root of the problem.  Found this website with very easy to understand videos on Fundamental Setup with very easy to understand videos on Swing Fundamentals.

Like I said I "thought" my setup and grip was good...nope.  I may have thought or it felt right, but it was wrong and causing bad shots.  

I was able to change and properly setup my grip, set up distance from ball,  and had some drills to do to get the feeling locked in.  I also changed how I made my backswing.

I don't know these people and have no affiliation, just thought I would share. I was quickly able to integrate the lessons into my setup and swing with immediate result.  As I said before I had a lot of fats, thins. pull left, heavy fade, etc. with the occasional good shot.  Anyway, those lessons have got me making solid contact in the fairway.  My biggest fault was being too close to the ball, that felt natural to me. but it was wrong. This fixed it..for the most part no more heavy fades and draw!

Give them a shot, it can't hurt.

This golf swing basics section of the website is dedicated to beginner golf tips for less experienced players… As a beginner, the amount of lessons and tips on this site (let alone the entire Internet) can be a bit...

Not really recommended. Heavy advertising with nefarious redirects on 3 of the 5 pages I looked at.

Free is good but this isn’t “free.”

I've got an ad blocker installed so I didn't notice any redirects or ads.  However, I thought the fundamental videos for setup were very good.

      Day 58: night putting session for about an hour. Started with lag putting and ended with putts inside 9’. I need to work on putts from 6-12’, but in a solid spot overall.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Birdied a different #6 today (incidentally, also a par-5, but not the same one on which I previously birdied).  Here's the funny thing though:  it's the par-5 that caused me to post my "how do I avoid bogeys?" on par-5s recently.  So I guess I still haven't parred that hole.

      Day 20, May 24.  Played 18 today, very poor ball driving.  One GIR, and it was a 4-wood from the rough.  Several other instances of hitting a green on a full swing (and at least one full swing motion -- a 50% UW) that wasn't for GIR.   Still shot an 87 and even had a birdie (chip-in).

      Welcome to TST.  I spent a bit of time in the UK but I had to look up Wagon Wheels.  Don't think I ever saw them.  Had to Google to see.  Couple similar items in US but Google says they are different. 😁
