We are about the same handicap so I probably shouldn't be giving you advice, but I noticed on the head-on swing (with driver) that you finished with your weight back. If you notice, you actually lift your toes up on your lead foot right the afollow through. You shouldn't be able to do that, almost all your weight should be on that lead foot.

It's something I struggle with as well, looks like we are in the same boat.

Same thing I noticed. On your swing your neither of your feet should move until after you have made contact with the ball. Work on swaying your weight to your left foot on your back swing and then moving it to the right foot on your down swing.

Wass.. I replied to you on FGI.

Equipment, Setup, Finish, Balance, and Relax. All equal in importance and all dependent on each other. They are the cornerstones of a good golf swing.

I was always told to start your take-away by using your hips/arms. Looks like you're using your wrists.

Not that I'm the best golfer or have the best swing, or that I'm doing it "right", but compare your take-away and my take-away.

Neh, that one started out pretty straight and then went left (slice for me).

weird, if you listen closely you hear the contact of your driver and then a second later a 'hollow knock' like the sound a ball makes when it hits a tree dead on.. Must of been something else then.

When I took lessons, my coach told us to learn to do it slow. If you can't do it right slowly, you can't do it right fast.

I was at the driving range, so I guess it was someone else swinging behind my friend who was holding the camera.

I'm 19. I've always usually had a slow swing all the way through. I figure that technology these days is insane, so I just let the club do the work

I'm willing to give up 15-20 yards if it means I will be more accurate. I'm usually shorter than all my friends off the tee, but I'm also probably the most accurate with approach shots out of all of them. If everything else is right and smooth with my swing, the club will do the rest. My handicap is a 15, which I plan on lowering this summer. Thanks for the compliments.

Neh, I'm not doing any tournies this year. Bucks County is just outside of Philadelphia.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
