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.

@iacas

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 ?

Ok..

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.

      First, you have some great choices in there.  Event Horizon remains a birdie movie for me.  It still finds its way onto the October options as Halloween approaches.  It fits well. I continue to forget that Arrival, when being referenced, is not the Charlie Sheen movie I saw in middle school. Lastly, what rating are you giving HG2?  Was it a par?  Bogey?  I gather from your review it didn't earn a hole in one on a par-4.  (I have yet to decide how I'm prioritizing that on my movie queue, and if I should even bother, so I'm looking forward to reviews here)

      I loved Arrival. Annihilation is a good one. Event Horizon is also one of my classic sci-fi favorites. And now for something completely different: Happy Gilmore 2. I watched HG1 as an adult, and it was alright, but probably would have been better if I watched it as a kid. HG2 had some good parts, but overall I wasn't a big fan. I knew there would be pros in the movie, but I imagined some cameos, not them being straight up actors through large parts of the movie. They're not actors and it showed. I could've done with a lot less of them and John Daly was maybe the best of the pros. The Maxi part was boring.

      Did I miss what your handicap was or how long you’ve been playing?  That Garmin chart is pretty useless.  Is the max number one of the numbers used to compute the average?  Without the chart don’t know how far you hit your clubs?  What do you hit from 150, ,160 etc…. Not looking at max and figuring the other numbers will probably have 10 yards of roll built in. It seems your launch and peak height are low.  I’d probably go Driver/5 wood/7 wood/ 5 iron
