Hello,

I played golf a lot as a teenage and have had a three year break. I was about 8 but i had a less than perfect swing.  This time i'm trying to get it correct from the start.

The ball slices badly and sometimes pulls far left.  Does anyone please have any suggestions.

cheers for your time,

steve

Going to feel like the right is straighter into the followthrough, extending into the followthrough to get the weight more forward rather than hanging back

MVMAC pretty much summed up your major issue.  You get more forward you will be able to start the ball more right and get a nice draw and away from those pulls

Nice swing...i don't think you are too far off of being back to form.  Your backswing is beautiful.  The only thing there is a tiny move back off the ball...you can see your head move back just a touch.

Then like mvmac said there is a little work to do in your downswing...but nothing too bad.  One thing i see in your downswing is that you stand up instead of keeping your spine angle.  Try and feel like you keep your head in the same place in your full swing and keep that "spine angle" the same into the followthrough.  Your head (or upper center) stays in place, while your hips (lower center) move forward...so most of your weight is on your front foot at impact.

Hope this helps, good luck!

    • Ok, so I’m still confused here. Are you saying I could have used the only available Spot in the bunker even though it was 6-7 feet closer to the hole?   
    • Yes. If you choose to take the ball out of the bunker instead of taking maximum available relief… it costs a stroke.
    • I got another one today....Number 17. Par 5 that has water left and right on the layup. I smacked a drive down the left side and got a little lazy on the layup and fanned my 6 iron. With 112 to a crowned green I got it to 3 feet and birdie!  Only 5 and 15 is left for this year! 
    • Maybe I didn’t explain this properly. Back and front can be confusing.  There was no place in the bunker that didn’t have 2-3 inches of rain water in it, except for a small spot on the slope nearest the pin. If I had dropped there I would be moving 6-7 feet closer to the hole. Since my ball was just inside the bunker, farthest side from the hole, I dropped one club length backward, which brought me out of the bunker. I could not have hit from that deep of water. Are you saying I would have had to take a penalty stroke due to rain water?
