I'm surprised nobody has responded to this already. I'm not commenting on the quality of the instruction as I am not remotely qualified. But I did watch the entire video and was intrigued to see the parts of the swing that the instructor highlighted as he went through it. He was pointing out things that I never knew to look at and for that I appreciate your post.

I wish my instructor did video.

I didn't really get to listen to the audio, but you seem to have alot of REALLY good things going on in your swing. You seem to come a BIT over the top, but your weight shift forward on the down swing is great. The two biggest things I would work on if I were you is maintaining the flying wedge (Holding the angle between the club and your right forearm) for longer as you are clearly flipping through impact. The other is that I would try not to move so much off of the ball in the backswing. Besides that, you're very close to having a great swing. With the lag you created in the club head, if you could hold on to it for long enough, you would destroy the golf ball.

Your desire to change has to be greater than your desire to stay the same.

Thats a good question. I think he wanted to get me into some lessons. I'll admit there are times I struggle with hitting the ball well but I think in general I hit the ball great. sure I can work on some stuff, but who doesn't. When he offered to film me for free I had to jump on it. Looking at the swing to me it looks great with only a little tweek her and there. I was surprised on how much I turn though being fat LOL
He wants me to set up more with my hands lower because he says it is just how its done. But he did say that I start o plane and end on plane as well ( isn't that the pt??) So all in all I think it was very helpful to me to look at and try work out the bugs.

    • 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)
