I've been Playing Golf for: 2 1/2 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 12.8
My typical ball flight is: fade with driver, draw irons 
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hitting it fat with irons, a push with driver 

 

Have been happy with my progress since I started playing and would like to continue to improve. 

Intend to use this thread to map progress and hold myself to account as I can get a bit distracted away from  my prioritys and thats something I'm looking to improve. 

This time last year I was much flatter on backswing and ott on downswing. Also had a big overswing, so I'm pleased I’ve improved that. However I think I'm still looking a bit cramped on backswing and trail arm is getting behind me? 

Grateful for advice on that or another glaring priority piece!

Low hanging fruit stuff. 

1) Posture. You sit way to far back into your heel. Your butt sticks out too much. Get a bit more upright and the weight more in the balls of your feet. 

2) Your ball position is way too far back in your stance.

Here's a good thread that addresses a lot of the posture stuff.

Thank you all, that's really helpful and informative. I could see I had a bit of early extension but then I see lots of things wrong! Will look at working on my posture and EE.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
