My Swing (Josh_s)


Josh_s

Recommended Posts

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.

    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.
