I've been Playing Golf for: 1,5 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 17,2 (average score is 87-93 on home course par 72) 
My typical ball flight is: high fade
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hitting behind the ball (semi/half chunks), Accuracy

I have been struggling with the occasional semi chunk with my irons so my goal has been to hit the ball more consistently and also adding more distance. 

I had a couple of lessons to try and fix this. A few key points that I have worked on since those lessons in November is: 

A higher and slower back swing, Placing the ball on the middle of my stance (it use to be slightly forward), Follow through and turn with my swing rather than getting stuck and stretching my arms up.

Thanks for the help. 

Old swing at the end of the Swedish golf season (Sept/Oct 2020)

New Swing

Now I hit the ball higher and longer. I have gained about 10-15% extra distance with my irons and a normal shot is now a high draw instead of a fade. 

But I am struggling with my accuracy and the odd left hook. 

Any tips or should I just keep training with my new swing to get more used to it ?

They work for me so I am not sure which settings I should update. 

And I cannot edit my post on the forum

They work for you on YouTube. You've likely turned off the setting that allows them to be embedded on other sites.

I get this when I paste the URL in and the site here tries to auto-embed:

If you change the setting, you can create a new post with embedded videos, and we may even merge that post back up into the first one so your videos are embedded in the page.

P.S. On YouTube, there's an "Allow embedding" checkbox.

      NFL Draft

      I think It boils down to what Browns management thinks of Sanders. If the long play is the idea, building up other positions makes more sense than drafting a quarterback you aren't sold on. Let Flacco and Pickett hold down the fort this year.

      This is a pretty good take on Cleveland.  Do you think they should or shouldn't grab a quarterback in the 2nd round? If so, who?

      Rory McIlroy Will Never Win the Masters

      By saevel25 ·

      I would say the demons were getting him more than anything. Also, it is just hard to win a major.  Rory is in ELITE company. Let's say he gets to 7 majors. He's probably the 2nd best player post Jack. I would almost put him above Phil, it would be a good discussion (for another topic than this).  There is nothing more to say here about it with regards to this thread. Was there a question if Rory would ever win the Masters, absolutely. Now that it is off his bucket list, he solidified himself as the third best golfer of the post Jack Nicklaus era currently.  Anything else would just be continuing on with an argument that has no merit anymore.
