Some quick background information, I'm 14, 6'1, I just began playing golf last summer, made my school's varsity and I'm a member at a local course.  I really want to improve and become more consistent to the point where I can play competitive golf and play on a local tour.  I really love the game of golf and would love advice from anyone who can provide it.  I have been hitting my driver extremely well for some odd reason and I've been ocassionally hitting my irons well, extremely inconsistenly. I've been shanking almost straight to the right and it just rolls.  My swing is probably going to make you golf enthusiasts vomit, but here it is.  And beforehand I'd like to apologize because the top of my backswing is cut out in the down the line video. Here you go.

Started playing golf July '11, 14 years old

    • Day 87 (27 Jul 25) - Made it an easy session with the wedge this afternoon, worked on staying in the shot and not lifting out - split between low spinners and higher floaters.  
    • Shot my new low 72 (par 70) today. Had 5 birdies, also a new best, which included a hole out from the bunker on par 3 6th, and another hole out pitch from 15ish yards on the long par 4, 15th.  Got a couple of other good breaks. Except for an OB drive on 14th (and ensuing double bogey), not much went wrong. All in all I might have used up a year's worth of luck in a single day. 
    • Back in the saddle after vacation.  Day 1: played 18. Did not have it, but still battled to an 82. Felt closer to a 90, but that’s fine. 
    • Yes, I have seen this from the older crowd that play the 4,700 yard tees and want to know why they get less strokes from there. Always trying to game the system 🤣
    • Day 300 - 2025-07-27 Good 44-ball segment. GSPro was acting goofy, so I just put it on the Quad. Then I hit a bunch of low spinners. Hit 14° down to 9.8° down, with the average closer to 12.3° or so. Focused mostly on the backswing. Right knee good, hands roll up and out a little before laying off (FAR).
