You have a good looking swing…

Some things to consider:

At address, your shoulders look like they are too far over your feet – try to tuck in your hips a bit – flex your knees more so you don’t have to bend at the waist so much.

On takeaway, think about a one-piece takeaway – let your shoulders turn to get the backswing started – avoid the temptation to start the backswing with the hands and arms.

Try to avoid posting on a straight right leg – keep a little flex in that leg, and try to avoid going past parallel on you backswing.

Lastly, finish your swing in balance – it looks like you fall off to the left at the completion of your swing.

As I said, it is a good looking swing – sounds like you nutted it.

You have a pretty nice swing but I think there may be a few things you can work on:

1. I can't tell if it's the angle of the camera but I believe you may be coming over the top. Which leads to the outside-in swing path. I also think you're divot was pointing to the left. (Again it may just be the camera angle)

2. Also try to stay balanced. I can tell you tried to hold your finish but slightly fell back. I suffer from this at times too.

3. Your swing is very "armsy" now theres nothing wrong with that but I think you could get more power efficiently by using more of your lower body.

4. Lastly at the top of the swing you go past parallel with your club and that may cause issues on your downswing.

These were just some suggestions and contructive criticism and if you can hit it solidly and consistently then that's awesome. Nice swing though.

“Nutted it” is a descriptive expression indicating that one has hit the ball cleanly and forcefully. And acoustically, the impact between club head and ball has that “crack” sound to it.

do you ever get a little backed up on the course at "prayer time". All of a sudden the group in front is kneeling on the green.

Hahahah!!

No, never had to face that before. But You can always see caddies and other guys working on the course praying in the fairways, not in the middle anyway, you'd never hit them unless you had a really bad slice/hook.

    • The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.

    • Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.
