I've been Playing Golf for: 4 active months, spread over 2 years

My current handicap index or average score is: EGA 54, havn't plaed 18 holes yet. Will do tomorrow.

My typical ball flight is: not consistent

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Topping the ball, also to much slices

Playing with a 7 iron. Video was taken, 2 months ago, when I did re-start playing golg after a stop of a year.

There is much room for improvement.

For the moment, I'm trying to start the hip movement just before the backswing starts.

Grip is too much in the palm of your left hand.  Just makes things harder, like getting to impact with a flat left wrist.  Important to understand since you're relatively new to the game and some new players get the idea that address and impact look the same.

Thanks for the input. Will try the next time when I'm on the driving range.

Today I will play for the first time 18 holes. So maybe not the best time to try it today. Will be though enough with the change in grip.

Will let you know how it works out.


While I know that my swing is far from perfect and a lot of work is needed to get it to an acceptable point.

I do want to show you all where I'm coming from. The video was shot in September 2011 after my first 2 or 3 lessons.

My swing was so bad that even I don't have fingers enough to sum up all the faults

Also I adjusted my grip according to the tips above. Not enough to see major improvements but on the other side it doesn't feel strange, so I think I will get quickly used to it.

Cheers,

Dremeber

    • Day 323 - Opposite of yesterday, focusing more on taking a full backswing than anything else.
    • Day 139: worked on putting for a while. Did the two cups drill for bead. 
    • It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno…. 
    • Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo.
