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.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

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.
