I am looking at the photo and 2 things seem to jump out. But please take my advice with a grain of salt as I am nowhere near scratch.

1.) It looks like you have the club in your palms. As others have said, If you hold the club in your fingers, your wrist will hinge more naturally. I have very little wrist hinge myself, but I get half way decent results by doing something even I am suprised at...that leads me to point #2

2.) It looks like you aren't getting a full shoulder turn, IF that photo is a depiction of the TOP of your swing. It appears your shoulder turn is more than 45* but not a full 90* (i.e. left shoulder pointing to the ground at the ball). I'm not saying be like me in any way, shape, form or fashion. But I know from experience, if you get a full 90* shoulder turn, you can get more distance and accuracy even with a minimal wrist hinge.

Good Luck!

    • Played Musgrove Mill GC today. 72.3/155. First round in 4 weeks and shot 44-39. 2 triple bogies on the front and horseshoed 4 putts today. Overall, 10 fairways, 8 GIR and 31 putts.  Set a goal today to par the 3 toughest holes (4, 18 and 9) and birdie 10 or 12 (which I have never birdied). Parred 4, 9 and birdied 10. Crushed my drive on 18 and had 139 left, but in casual water. Dropped back a little ways and took an extra club. Hit my 8-iron well but it came up short. Bunker shot from wet sand left me an 18’ for my goal. Read the break well but perhaps an inch too much break, and a touch heavy on the speed. Ball circled the hole 270* and tapped in for a bogey. Handicap dropped 0.1.
    • Day 143: 5/18/24 Practiced prior to round today. All aspects of the game.
    • I’m sad that no player got arrested this morning. It should be a feature now for every tournament.
    • Played around with this a bit. Not getting the spin up. This was even on a green that is pretty severely sloped towards me, clean lie, and a soft green. Maybe higher spin is just not my thing. 
    • Why are they showing almost every shot by Theegala? Burmester also gets a lot of TV time. Then suddenly someone at +2 or -1 missing a putt. At least throw in a shot now and then from the others in the top 20.
