Hey everyone,

I've been reading the forum for about a year and have been playing golf for about the same. The input from everyone here has helped me tremendously as I build my swing.

One of the biggest problems that I have been having as I develop my swing is at the top of my swing. I have quite the bounce at the top as I cross parallel to the target line. This certainly causes an instability in my swing and causes me to have many problems with timing and my position at impact. Does anyone have any thoughts on the proper position at the top of the swing and how I can work on it? I have looked at a lot of different swings and it seems that some don't go all the way to parallel and others do, is there any difference?

Thanks for the help, it is much appreciated.

    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
