Hello all!

Here are 2 videos of my from the side (I will try and take some better ones soon as well). I know that I have a pretty bad sway with my hips and not really sure how to go about correcting it. Any input is appreciated and will give me some feed back on what to fix and what else to work on. Right now my averaging in the mid 80's and my goal for 2012 is to break into the 70's (I know a lot of this will be depending on my short game withing 100 yards which I am working on as well)

So...Is my swing that bad lol? Sorry for the typo's and missing words in my first post, I was at work and didn't proof read before I posted. I'm almost done my masters degree, you would think my spelling and grammar would be up to par haha.

You'll fix the swaying by doing some reading and some reading. Here are a few relevant threads to get you started.

Eventually you'll want to slide your hips, but forward and on the downswing: http://thesandtrap.com/t/29616/the-biggest-secret-slide-your-hips

    • Day  3 (4 May 24) - Easy pitch day with 9i in the backyard.  Worked on staying smooth thru impact, keeping shots to 20yds or less. 
    • From what I’ve read, it was in the manufacturing process and how the covers were nicking pretty easy.  He has had to resource his factory as the one used earlier is now a TM owned facility.  Initial reports seem to indicate the redesign is going to be a winner…
    • Day 129: 5/4/24 Stack training but could not certify my warmup speed. Dealing with a pulled neck muscle. Chips and pitches at a local course for about 15 minutes.
    • Typically less than 50. I find this can be affected by the "CART" signs on a given course. I don't like taking my rangefinder out of the cart and carrying it around to the green. I am very fearful I will leave it somewhere. 
    • First ever holed out greenside bunker shot! It's crazy it took this long to finally get one during a round, but the cold streak is officially over. Hole 6 on the Palmer Course at PGAN. I hit my driver like 225 into a really stiff wind, then worm burned a hybrid into the bunker. I was about I dunno, 40-45 feet away. Birdie! Let's go! The red Xs the approximate location of each shot.  Really fun!!
