I've been Playing Golf for: Many years on and off

My current handicap index or average score is:20

My typical ball flight is: High and long but with an ocassional push

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Fairway wood off the deck

Some additinal information on my swing. I am using a 3 wood in the video and I struggle at times with consistent contact. One swing off the tee I can bomb it long and straight and the next tee could be a topped ball or pull hook. My normal ball flight is pretty straight with an occassional push which is usually playable. I am 6'3'' tall and about 260 lbs and am in my early fifties. I have no problem with getting the ball up and have great distance when I make good contact. Anything you guys can pick up on my swing that I can work on to improve will be appreciated. Thank you.

straighten your left arm, it should never bend during the swing. Next time it's easier to analize if you post in slow motion. Also try not to scoop under the ball but to hit ball first then letting the club descend into the ground to take the divot, this will make fairway wood shot from deck as easy as from tee(almost).

    • 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).
