I've been Playing Golf for: ~5 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 9.0

My typical ball flight is: Small Fade

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Pull

I generally hit the ball on-line, but periodically will struggle with a pull or even pull draw.  My major issue have more to do with lack of distance than directional errors.  For ref, I hit my driver about 240yds and 7-iron 150yds.

Any thoughts or comments will be appreciated

Just a couple more videos, I am working to not get the club inside so much on the early part of my takeaway, although it is seemingly a very tough habit for me to break...



  • 2 weeks later...

A couple more swing videos (the DL vid is not the best-sorry).

I am working to try and get the club back a little more down the line (as opposed to way inside).  Hopefully this will give me some more room to work the club from inside-out.

A secondary swing thought I am working with now is to slide the hips but keep my upper body behind the ball and release the club.

Both are a work in progress.

As always any comments/critiques are welcome and appreciated.



A suggestion I have for not taking it inside so soon is try to have it feel like you dont see your left arm so soon.

Like in the down the line videos you want to have your left arm hidden behind your right longer.

Thanks very much for the swing thought.  I will work to implement it during the next range session.


A couple videos shot yesterday.

I have had a couple good sessions with my instructor and am seeing improvement in my contact and ball flight.  I am still working hard to take the club away straighter, this is proving to be the most difficult part of the swing changes we are working on currently.

As always and comments are appreciated.



Videos from last weekend.  Working hard to improve posture.

I also need to get my hands a little closer to my body, I am hoping this will allow me to move the club back more down the line and less inside.

Any thoughts or comments on the swing?

    • 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.
