It looks like you pic your head and body up too early after impact.  You should drive through the ball and keep your head down and body down as well.  Sorry this is a little hard to explain.  Pause rory's swing at 19 seconds and you will see what I mean.

If you pause it there...to me it looks like you abruptly pick yourself up out of the shot.  Which would mean to me that you aren't driving through the ball but picking the ball up.  Just what it looks like to me.

I appreciate you comment and when i pause Rory's swing the big thing I notice is his hips are pointing towards his target and mine seem to be way more closed.  Thanks again I will have to work on this!!!

any other ideas on why the picture above is bad?  I'm think not enough weight shift/hip slide?

That is correct.  In your photo your right leg is/was pushing out towards the ball, notice your heel is up.  It needs to be pushing towards the target, or your left side.  Your not getting your weight on your left side causing you to flip at the ball.

If you look at your release point high & left you want to finish low & to the left, this will give you the feeling of compressing the ball.

Your hips didn't slide forward. Your right knee kicked in towards the golf ball, stalling the slide and spinning the hips instead.

Working on a slower take a way and more hip slide.  I think I'm closer as I've see a change in ball flight.  Something with the slower take a way has helped the hips move more?  Any and all thoughts would be appreciated.

I've been Playing Golf for: 25 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 8-9

My typical ball flight is: high fade

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hoselrocket

More hip slide.  Ball position too far back, due to this.  You are just turning the hips and straightening the left leg too soon.  Feel as if you are keeping your left knee flexed longer on the down swing, more of a feel of driving through the ball, not just a turn.

Thanks for the input...I will give that a try...did you see any difference from the 1st video to the last?

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.

      Womens League .Golf Top Level Domain Name

      By iacas ·

      I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
