You have an athletic swing. It would help if you aimed the camera down your toe line and filmed in slow motion.

Out of curiosity, where do you find that you lose most of your strokes?  Do you hit 18 greens in regulation and then have 40+ putts?


hi thanks for the feedback I'll try get better camera angles and front view videos later in the day cheers,  I tend to hit between 3-6 greens over 18 holes but I'm mostly up and around the green in regulation, I just don't find my strike consistent enough too many toe strikes, my putting for most parts is consistent very few 3 putts 1 maybe 2 a round. il try get more videos up later thanks.


hi, finally got a front view of my swing never realised how bad it actually looks, trying to get a slow mo versions sorted but im filming off a iPhone 4 so could be a while. Im trying to work on getting my weight forward more on the downswing. 


Finally got some slo mo videos, the light isn't great on the fornt view, trying to work on impact position with varying success.

Trying to feel like im pushing the club into the ground, been struggling with ball striking mostly toe strikes, so trying various things I seen on video's see if their any help.


I would check out a few of the COVID-19 Daily Golf Drill videos. Some of them that come to mind for you are..

1. Set up - looks like you stand a bit too close to the ball. You can get your hands out a bit more. 
2. Looks like you do a lot of wrist hinge early and don't have good turning. 

I would look into Day 01, 02, 10, 22, and 25 videos.

    • Great interview.  Funny he mentioned the first hole double settling him down.. some dude mentioned this when it happened, pretty observant 😂 As for the complicated analysis, I wasn’t planning on doing that, but kinda got sucked in and diving deeper.  Yup… just plain nervous.  You could see it in his eyes coming off 13, he was nervous and a bit shell shocked… oh no here we go.
    • That it’s difficult is obvious, but part of what makes it difficult is impossible to see. The mental game. Some players thrive under pressure, while others crumble completely. Having the mentality to win major events is no good if you don’t have the game for it and having the game may not be enough if the nerves and stress cause too much trouble when the heat is on. Rory put a lot of pressure and expectations on himself, but it surely doesn’t help with all the media attention around his lack of major wins the last decade. He said in the interview that having all those legends of the game (Tiger, Jack etc.) saying he will win it one day just added to the pressure. They probably meant for those to be words of encouragement, while they had a negative effect on Rory. Ever since Tiger dominated, new promising players were “the next Tiger”. Rory has as good a game when he’s on, but Tiger was at a different level, over a long period of time. Anyone would be nervous in Rory’s shoes last week. How it would affect their game is very individual.
    • So, @klineka and @Zeph are you guys trying to imply that winning majors is difficult?  Perhaps, that's why Rory becomes the first golfer (not named Tiger Woods) in almost 60 years to win a career Grand Slam? 
    • Watch his post-round interview @TommyRude. It provides good insight on what he's been struggling with. You look for answers in many places, but it may be as simple as nerves. He gets nervous in those situations and winning at Augusta has been a lifelong dream. It became an even more spectatular dream after winning the other majors and only missing The Masters for the career slam. No matter how hard you look and try to analyze everything, it doesn't have to be more complicated than that.  
    • Honestly, I was so confused by their argument. I didn't really respond.   I'm not exactly sure. Start times the first two days were mentioned, and so was course layout, but neither of those made sense to me.
