Hello all! My first post here, so why not start off with a couple of videos!

I am 29 years old and picked up golf clubs for the first time in 10+ years last week. After a very rusty first session at the range, I have improved a lot the next two sessions. However, I have a very bad slice. With irons 8 and up it's OK, but from 7 and down it's pretty bad. The driver is worst. I hit maybe 150 metres and the ball goes pretty straight for 50-60 metres or so but the it goes hard left (I'm a leftie) with maybe 60 metres. I recorded a couple of short videos at the range today, hopefully someone can give me a couple of rookie hints!

Be nice...

Thanks in advance!

You need to have a flat right wrist (you're left handed) at impact.  It looks like your a flipping that right wrist hard.  And you are not maintaining your wedge through impact.

    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
