I've been Playing Golf for 40 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 9.1 
My typical ball flight is: low fade
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: left block and right pull


Videos: 

So here's me from last summer,  just after I started back playing after a break of 12 years.   I've adjusted a few things since these videos were taken.. working on keeping my club face neutral on backswing,  not letting my lead arm disconnect from my body. My ambition is to get myself back down lower than I was when I played consistently,  my previous lowest index under the old handicapping system was a 6.5 using the irish gui handicapping system.  Lifetime low round was a 71 on a par 70, and I used to very consistently shoot 76-82 as a range.  My worst miss is a big block left, which I now alternate with a big pull right for the dreaded two way miss. I practice 3 times weekly, usually with one competitive round as well since I joined a club locally last summer.  Any feedback very gratefully accepted.

A slow motion video would be better. The swing looks pretty good, but it tough to tell from these videos. Mind the angles and maybe get a bit closer.

Cheers,  youtube allows playback speed to be set as you are viewing,  I guess I'd need to run it through an editor to get a proper slow-motion. 

Keeping those there as a  placeholder,  I can see plenty of bad stuff to fix!

That's fake slow motion. He's talking about 240 FPS video, not 30 FPS video slowed down.
