Hey guys, this is my third season. Never had a lesson but intend to at some point. I see early extension and im too closed at impact. But no idea why and how to improve my swing. I will defer to the experts. Please don't be too harsh!!

also, if someone could tell me how to stop doing the sawed off finish that would be great. I do not want to be the second charlie wi.

I've been Playing Golf for: 2+ years

My current handicap index or average score is: 95-100

My typical ball flight is: draw

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: improve distance and overall consistency

Well...where to start.

While I applaud you for making contact ......your swing is really in need of a few major fundamental changes.  I'm no expert....but here is what I can see.

1) Your take away looks like your hips push your arms back.  Try pulling the club back with your arms in conjunction with turning your hips (think coiling like a spring).

2) Your swing plane is flat and there is zero wrist action.

3) It looks like you are doing a basket toss of some kind.  I don't know if I have the ability to give you advice on that.

Basically, I would start by looking at your swing in comparison to a professionals swing.  Or it may be one of those times where a single lesson from a Pro can change your game.

I gotta say this though......there is potential with your coordination to hit the ball.

Keep Calm and Chive On!

    • 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? 
    • Day 550, May 5, 2024 Got a good hour in with a typical (for me) two-stick setup: pool noodle angled in front, yardstick on the ground angled 45° behind me.
    • Day 130: Cinco de Mayo Day 7/24 of Full Speed Spectrum training. Difficult training day after struggling to certify my warmup yesterday, and today. Finished 13 mph lower than my training speed on Thursday. Hope to hit some balls today.
