I golfed on Saturday and shot a 42-49 (front-back)...Not my best round I may add. So I was looking at my swing after and tried to figure out what was wrong and one thing I noticed was my right leg (i'm righty). Mine is straight on the backswing.

Should it be flexed (bent) or straight?

Is your leg bent or straight at address? The goal of the golf swing is to return to the address position at the moment of impact.

If it's straight in the back swing you are most likely doing a stack and tilt swing

Golf is a game in which the ball always lies poorly and the player always lies well.

It should remain flexed. Close as possible to the same position at address. This what creates more torque in your swing. If you change your flex, you also generally change your spine angle which makes it difficult to hit consistently.

You should keep your knee bent a little so that you can more easily push off of your right leg during the forward swing. If your right knee is locked, you'll have no leverage.

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
