I've been Playing Golf for: 26 years
My current handicap index or average score is: GHIN says 6.9, but reality is more like 10 right now
My typical ball flight is: right to left
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Big BIG BIG miss right that is either dead straight push or a huge pull that slices nearly 90 degrees right.  

Videos: 

OK all - After lurking and posting on here for years, I have finally reached a critical point where I need some help. I am open to any suggestions and while I can see several problems, I am interested in getting better. I don't have a ton of time to devote to improving, but I do have a couple of hours a week that I can spend on the range while my daughter is at lessons. I got the good deal on the Mevo FlightScope which does videos, so there are no excuses now for me putting a video out for you guys to help me.

I have fluctuated between a 5 - 9 index the last 3-4 years. Usually the 5 is because of one career day a year where I shoot near par, and them it takes a while to fall off the board. 

Would like to play to a consistent 5, so not unrealistic expectations for a 48 year old.

Honestly I don't like the Mevo video function because it doesn't record in slow motion. If you want to get good videos that are useful for analysis, you should record in slow motion and from good camera angles.

Yes it can. There's a slow-mo option right in the settings.

I didn't know that, thanks. Going to have to play around with it in a few months 😜

      @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!
