I've been Playing Golf for: 18 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 10.4 (83)

My typical ball flight is: Straight to slight-fade

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: slight-fade; create a draw

[note: I used SwingPlane HD on my iPad to film. If anyone has any tips on creating better videos, please advise. Also, I couldn't figure out how to upload the slow motion view of the video ... if anyone knows how I will upload those so it's easier to see the swing. All comments, suggestions, etc are welcomed and thanked]

Thanks MVMAC!

I went to the range last night after a softball game (excuse the shorts) to get some more shots. Below are side and rear shots for Driver, 3 Wood and 6 I. All comments welcome and thanked.

A couple of things I noticed was that you were snatching the club head back to the inside way too fast.  You have to feel like your hands go in and your club head stays outside your hands.  Another feeling I use is that on the start of the back swing feel that your right hand stays on top of the left hand and that your left hand points to the ground to start the swing.

Also, if you want to hit more draws, have your shaft lean more towards the target at address, and try to replicate this at impact.  More shaft lean towards the target.

No, you have about 10 minutes after initially post to edit, long enough to be useful but not so long that someone can make a comment and "change history" by changing it later.

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
