Golfingscrub... Here are some things that I noticed with your swing...

A1. Your address - I actually like a lot.  You're in a great position at Address from what I can see.

A2. Your club path on the takeaway is outside.  Your shaft is not parallel to your stance line - and you can see the shaft isn't parallel to your alignment sticks.  You gotta get your clubface/shaft more inside - bring your left arm tight across your chest.  Maintaining pressure under your left armpit as your right hand pulls the left arm across the chest.

A3. You're club is very vertical - and actually looks decent here.  Might be a touch steep - and could be a little more on plane - but not terrible.  I think if you clean up A2 - and get your hands more inside your takeaway line - this will help your club get on plane at A3 moreso.

A4.  Ok - this is where you have a chicken wing.  You gotta get that Right elbow and tricep closer to the torso.  You should work on your right arm fold.

Overall - from A1 to A4 - the biggest flaw that I see is that you are standing up in your backswing.  You can see in the frames that I marked-up... Your spine angle at address looks solid.  But as you take the club back - your begin to stand up or lose your spine angle.  This is a big 'no-no'.  Don't do this.  You will hit shots thin and fat when you do this as you are changing your swing arc and moving your low point.  You can't have consistent contact if you stand up.  You legs (Pivot) looks pretty good.  But maintain that waist bend.

Watch this video to get your backswing on plane.

    • 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.
