Hey forum!

I thought I'd post a few of my swings up here to see what you all thought.
I've been playing golf since I was 3 years old, competed from ages 10-17, and currently I'm now starting back after taking a 5 year break.  I went to college and didn't have the time (or $$$ !!!)  to get to play much.  I'll tell you what though... I'm having a lot more fun now than I ever did!

I took 4 years of lessons from Sea Island down in St. Simons Island, GA under Mike Cook.  They called me Sergio down there because of my crazy hand action.  The lag has since decreased quite a bit, but it's definitely still there.


What gets me in trouble the most is my left elbow near impact.  We were able to fix it by slowing my swing down and doing a LOT of towel drills (making swings with towels under your arms).

When I got back into golf 3 weeks ago, I got my timing back quickly. However, my left elbow is back to giving me fits.

Any suggestions to fix this as well as any other mechanical issues you see would be greatly appreciated!

My old stuff I still use:

Irons - Titleist DCI 981 (1998)
Putter - Odyssey 2-Ball DFX
Wedges - Cleveland Rg. 588 (47º, 52º, 54º, 57º)
Driver - Taylormade r7 Quad (2004)
Ball - Pro V1x

Take everything i say with a grain of salt.  It seems like you aren't letting your club get behind your body and your hip turns.  I think that you want it to be behind your turn so that it can accelerate through and catch up with the rest of your swing.

On your iron shot, possibly open your foot angle more towards the target. the back foot being parallel is correct.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
