Completing the backswing. I've got to make sure my back is close to facing the target at the top of my backswing. And as always I'm trying to figure out a putting style that fits my game, and keep my short game in check.

I had a swing evaluation and have been working on flattening my swing. So far so good, but it still needs a lot of work. My fairways hit % has gone up.

I've also been working on short game, I didn't have a "soft landing" chip so I bought the Mickelson DVD and have been working on it. Big improvement there, just hitting plastic balls in my den every night. I've been able to do much better when short siding myself.

I need to work on putting, just basic 8ft and in stuff for now. I also have pretty bad GIR that needs to be addressed. I've been hitting 7-8 fairways and my GIR is still 3-5 per round...piss poor. Not sure what the issue is to be honest, ball is well struck with nice trajectory and distance control, but anything from 7iron down has been going left.

I'm working on trying to be consistent. I have a great swing, I just can't hit the ball :( And while my short game is great, my distance is horrible and vice versa, I'd like them all to just come together...one day...My best, by far, would have to be my chipping. Love to chip :)

I really need to develop a consistant repeatable swing. Its like every two months I feel the need to overhaul my swing and change all kinds of things.

I'm just trying to make the same swing on every shot.

This game is not easy.

I've been driving a tractor trailer for years.

I'm always working on wedge play, distance control and ball flight. Other than that I'm working on rotating rightside thru impact using it to control launch angle of shot.

working on follow through positions right now

I think its strange in the begining of most golfers golfing lives they work on usually downswing then backswing. But I seem to here more of the better players I know working on their followthrough.

I'm working on keeping my spine angled away from the target. I tend to have a reverse spine tilt and I'm having trouble correcting it. Anyone else have this problem and if so any cool practice tricks to try and break down my old engrams.

Thanks, Dale

playing below my handicap consistently is my goal. I am trying to achieve it by working on my short game, but I realize that it's a full time job, I am improving my short game but it still needs lots of work, while I also realize that my mid irons and other parts of my game also needs work.

I would like to be able to play a fade on all my shots including aproach shots from 150 yards out. Some holes simple require a fade shot, right now everything is a 3 yard draw

Until yesterday's lesson, I had never really learned to properly release the club. (Before, I was pretty much just keeping the club face square down the line for as long as possible.) It is a completely foreign feel to me and it's going to take a while to get used to it.

Working on my wedge distance control (I usually am short), and hitting my 5 wood consistently (fine off the tee and at the range...but gives me problems in the fairway)

    • I can't wait to tell him that @DaveP043 is on my side! 👍🤣👍
    • Presumably you had a rule book with you, I don't remember a phone app being available back then.  Clearly someone was wrong. Here's what the 2016-2018 rules said, per www.ruleshistory.com   Clearly he was wrong, and it seems tat you were right, if he wanted FREE relief from the path.  He certainly COULD take Unplayable Ball relief, for 1 Penalty Stroke, and drop within 2 clublengths, which apparently is what he did.      At this point, he has a new situation, and he certainly CAN take free relief from the cart path in this situation, and that relief certainly could put him in the fairway.  
    • It's so funny. We actually looked it up years ago and that only lead to more debate. Each of us convinced we were correct. 
    • I just found out, Face Balanced Is NOT Enough!  Turns out you need Face Balanced AND Face Down!  Check it out:  SQ Putter Hybrid - Performance Golf AS FEATURED IN: NEVER 3-PUTT AGAIN: New Putter Moves Straight Back Straight Through FOR YOU Why is a “straight back straight through” putter the easiest way to make more putts? Because that… ELIMINATES an open or... How on Earth do you expect to ever make a putt with the putter you are using!?!?!?!?!?!?
    • Okay, admittedly I'm sort of a Matsuyama fan.  I really don't have a problem with this. Did the golfer who shot the lowest score win? ... Yes. Did he cheat in some way? ... No. Athletes are getting better, faster, stronger, more highly trained, using statistical analysis, reaching a much deeper pool of potential players, etc...  Here's a fun bit of trivia.  In 1924 the lowest recorded "known" golf score for a 72-hole tournament on was 12 under par for a 276. (There may have been lower scores, but records from 1924 being what they were, this is believed to be the lowest at the time.)  Hideki Matsuyama shoots a 35 under 257. Okay that was on a par 73 course, but what ever. If we adjust the 1924 score of 276 for a par 73 course, that comes out to 280.  So, 280 in 1924 is less than 10% higher than 257 in 2024. In 1924 the world record for the mile was 4:10.4  In 2024 the world record for the mile is 3:43.13 That's an improvement of 11%.  So, over the last 100 years there's been a 10% improvement in golf and an 11% improvement in running the mile . .... It's funny that I don't hear any talk about making the mile longer? 😁     BTW - As you all know I went to a Wiccan woman who operated a boutique malt shop in Southern Rhodesias and math is hard so you may want to check my math... 🤷‍♂️
