Basic question I know, but can someone link photos or an online lesson that shows the proper angle of the club face at address. I searched online but I can't find specific pictures that show the correct club face setup at address and also club angle from you hands to the ball. Thanks!!

This would be a good one..I play pretty well but the angle of the clubface at address is kind of an optical illusion. TBH Im guessing most of the time where the clubface is pointed at address and it just seems to work out.
THE WEAPONS CACHE..

Titleist 909 D2 9.5 Degree Driver| Titleist 906f4 13.5 degree 3-Wood | Titleist 909 17 & 21 degree hybrid | Titleist AP2 irons

I currently not aware of any Internet sites with the type of pictures you seek, but if you can find a copy of Mitchell Spearman's A.I.M. of Golf book in your local bookstore or library it has pictures from the angles you are searching for.

http://www.amazon.com/AIM-Golf-Imagi...338170-6444603 (The amazon see inside preview has a picture of the chipping setup, but not the full swing position. For the full swing image page 34, among others, from his book should get you on the right track.)

In my bag:

Driver: Burner TP 8.5*
Fairway metals/woods: Burner TP 13* Tour Spoon, and Burner TP 17.5*
Irons: RAC MB TP Wedges: RAC TPPutter: Spider Ball: (varies ) (Most of the time): TP Red or HX Tour/56---------------------------------------------------

Sorry you said at address and what I put here is at impact but it is amazing how much the balls crush when they are hit

This is almost impossible...couple of factors where.

The main on is the the angle that one person sees something is different then how some one else sees it. Because of facial geometery, height and other physical measurements and different degrees of right or left eye dominance, what looks like square to one person may not look square to another. Have you ever looked at a lefthanded club as a right hander....wow that looks really open comes to mind.

The other factor is that because of the angle the camera my be at when taking the picture is going to effect the angle the clubface appears. Unless you have line that you can compare the clubface to there is no way to see if the clubface is queare or not.

    • I’m thinking maybe Jason Day read my post. He’s sitting a -3 two off Rory and Burns.
    • Is it only the weekend broadcasts that have a low commercial count?  I feel like it has been a long while since I last watched a Thursday of the Masters, so maybe my recollection is off.  I feel today has a lot more than four minutes per hour of commercials, and far fewer of the fun stories they tell during the Sunday broadcast. 
    • I mean, I do slide my hips like 7 inches towards the target before impact. PGA Tour average is like 3 inches. I’m not Scottie Scheffler who can get away with it. 🤣 He slides a ton.  For me, I have to feel like I basically just turn. Though, I’m probably over exaggerating a bit with that one video because I’m really trying to push off with the left leg which sends the hip backwards. Ideally, I would be able to get my weight over to the outside of my left foot at impact and into the finish. It’s probably OK that I can slide about 7 inches as long as it’s like only three by impact.
    • Day 32 (9 Apr 26) - Grandson is on spring break- puts in to play 9 at our home course.  Used it to work on top of horizon target point for drives and approaches…i.e. pick landing zone (fairway, green) , an intermediate target point and finally what standout feature do I want to hit “over” on the horizon (tall pine, home top, flag pole).    Better l-r dispersion w/5 of 7 drives in the short grass.  Nice little addition to the pre-shot routine. 
    • I managed to get the full afternoon to watch (Pacific time, so the ESPN broadcast began at noon).  I just saw the first shot I feel like commenting on:  Adam Scott's tee shot on #16 was really good, especially after having what might be the worst kind of Maltese Falcon on #15.    I didn't used to like him, but the past few years he's grown on me quite a bit.
