I just recently got back from a 2 week trip to California, and consequently my golf game took a hold as well. I was hoping for some advice ... Before the trip, my swing was great and I was shooting in the high 70s. However, I've been struggling since I got back with either not hitting the ball solid with irons (weak fade shots) and hitting the ball high on the face with the driver (again, with a weak fade). I have never really hit the ball high on the face before - do you guys have any ideas as to why that's happening? Maybe there's a correlation between the weak iron and high face hits with the driver?

I actually just had a lesson too, and I was hitting great shots the entire time. So, I kind of wasted the lesson I suppose. I was working on basically feeling like I was swinging to the left after I hit the ball. This would hopefully encourage a squarer hit, without falling back on the downswing and hitting that fade I was talking about ... I kept trying to do this today and it wasn't working out too well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

maybe your overdoing it? one my pro's told me ages ago that i should swing with my left hand, i started hitting it about 20-40yds shorter and push fading it, needless to say i dropped this coach.


When I hit the drive high on the face, it's always a straight high pull which would be opposite of you.  So, taking my extensive knowledge of physics into the answer, I'm thinking you're you're swinging slightly flat with the face a touch open.

    • Controversial takes are allowed here. Also there is no expectation that a take be 100% airtight supported by hundreds of facts that would stand up to the most rigorous scrutiny but there is an expectation that when you make a claim that you support it with facts, especially when directly prompted to do so on multiple occasions.  Here are, IMO, the issues and what has rubbed people (myself included) the wrong way The whole selectively choosing who to reply to Ignoring direct requests to back up your claims with facts Continuing to spew additional things that are straight up wrong The most recent of which claiming that if Rory blows a 2 shot lead today that would be the greatest collapse since Greg Norman. Jordan Spieth blew a FIVE shot lead in the final round in 2016 yet somehow if Rory blows a TWO shot lead that would be the greatest collapse since Norman???   
    • Well then by all means you should ban me, don’t know why you should wait until the end?  I’m just a golfer and pro golf fan and wanted to come in here and give a take, maybe controversial, maybe not every element buttoned down with facts (jeez), but not an unreasonable take.  Go ahead, ban me, stay in your safe fact checked moderated bubble, running just the way you want it to.  Good luck to you and everyone else here, seems like a good forum with good folks.
    • Maybe you could just be less of a troll and, frankly, an ass. At least you chose an appropriate username. Should Rory win, perhaps we should ban you. That sounds fair. Your whole vibe to this point is bullshit. I've had this site for over 20 years. You don't think I've offered "takes"? Ha ha. What I try not to do is all you've done: offer bullshit based on falsities.
    • On this forum takes that arent supported by facts get called out. (Rightfully so) I'd rather not have a take than have a take that isn't supported by facts.   You haven't given us any facts to check.
    • jeezus, you sound like a librarian or an auditor person.  At least I have a take.  You could try coming up with something more interesting than being the corporate fact checker, maybe that’s not possible for you
