Ok.. so at my lesson my golf pro told me for the second time that my hips sway back and forth during my swing. For some reason this seems very hard for me to quit doing. He told me to imagine my hips were in a barrell and they couldn't move back and forth. He also told me to try to plant the inside arches of my feet to the ground. Have any of you had to work on your hip sway? If so did anything help you make improvements on this?

Yeah i had it most people do cause its the only way to feel a backswing when you first start

Wider stance, bend at the knees more helps you rotate without swaying
remember that your head/chest can move off the ball but make sure your weight isnt shifting back
its a weird feeling at first

Put a stick in the ground beside your outside right foot that lines up leaning on and exactly as your flexed right leg leans (angling slightly toward the target -- the angle that your lower body triangle has at address.) During your entire swing, there is no need for any part of your right leg to move left or push against that stick -- keep you leg and turn all within the braced angle of that stick. Then on the downswing, notice how far forward of that stick your hips have moved... pretty instructive.

swing with your feet together, if you sway you will lose your balance and fall down.

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • 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 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • 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 .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
