Your hands aren't leading, and your weight is on your back foot.....that is all I can see wrong though.

It looks like the ball is in the air already, so its not really an impact postion. Its hard to tell.

Care to elaborate? Is it as simple as "not getting through the ball" or are my driver woes more deeply seeded?

It could just be the angle... but your hands are way too far behind the club. Your hands should be leading with a nice lag for power.

Your chest is way behind the ball. It should stay on top of it and move through it after impact.

Your hips have not cleared nearly enough.

Both arms are bent at impact - not as much as Westwoods, but still hard to be consistent like that.

Need to see the video but it appears you won't be releasing the club through impact.

Because you are so far back on your right side, I assume you have a very inside swing path and normally push and slice the ball out to the right.

Not nearly enough lower body involvement. Get hips forward and at impact your hips should be opening up. Get those things right and it will fix some other things.

      I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning.

      Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
