One thread, please. I've merged them but the idea is that you only have one "My Swing" thread.

The red line describes the shaft angle at adress and the yellow line describes your shaft angle at impact. When people talk about being on plane in a swing it happens when red and yellow coincide at impact, so you need to hit a lot more on the plane to dont get the slice you probably struggle with now. On the right pic you see the red arrow describing how your hands move, to avoid swinging over the top you need to get your hands move more like the green arrow. Filming and experimenting is the key and also watch some youtube videos on over the top.


his hands are low at address so highly unlikely he will bring it back on that plane anyways.  Alot of golfers play on the elbow or shoulder plane not the shaft plane.  Would be better to draw a line from the ball up through his elbow to get a closer reference but, again camera angle and other factors could distort that.  I'm not a big fan of drawing lines anyways.

Also take a look at this to help setup the camera better so people can give you better advice.

    • 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.
