I'm having some trouble keeping my right knee flexed at the top of my swing. Instead of a flex position, I'm straightening my leg and it's causing a few problems, mainly consistent contact.

Any drills I can implement to help me fix this problem?

I used to (still do) have the exact same problem where I would straighten out my right leg like they do in stack and tilt (i think they do at least).

Best way is to consciously remember to keep the flex in your knee the same from address all the way to top of back swing..

if you want a drill: put a folded up towel under the outside of your right foot (majority of the right half of your right foot). if you swing like this you will have to keep the flex in your knee or else you'll miss the ball or thin it and you will also get a really good feeling of preventing your weight from moving too far outside of your right foot.

Yeah, I agree. If your only swing thought is focusing on your knee flex, you're bound to do it right. If your knee is also sliding to the right while straightening, you can do the Ben Hogan drill - put a club at the same angle as your right leg and rest it against your leg. Maintain this angle throughout the practice swing.

    • 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.
