This video was taken about 5 hours after a recent lesson. The teaching pro wasn't great, considering I was able to book him for a time only a day in advance, but he did get me going in the right direction. After about 1-2 hours of looking over footage and correcting myself, these were two of the better shots I came up with. I know I still have a lot of work, i still have a slight hitch and my head moves a little too much, but I'll keep self-correcting myself and hopefully keep posting videos. Both were with a 7 iron

How old are you? I'm not gonna judge your index, since I've seen guys with a lot worse moves and lower indexes and there are some guys here that hit all the positions but can barely generate enough power to crack an egg. Maybe your index is a junior one - like some 12 year old tae kwon do "black belts" I've seen who would be better off running away if challenged by their 13 year old sister who plays rep soccer. Anyway, all joking aside, you look reasonably athletic, and it sounds like you have at least a vague idea what you need to work on - keep at it.

yea I agree. You look really young and you are on the right path to becoming a good player and a single digit handicap. Just keep at it with lessons etc but most of all have fun out there while you are playing. Dont worry too much about handicap at your age, just focus on fundamentals and hitting the ball correctly. You have a really good advantage by getting the fundamentals down at a young age and as you get older more distance and athletic ability will come and you will shoot low scores.

Pretty much the same stuff going on, just not quite as bad as before. Read over all the comments and work on those things. Play and practice in shoes.
