I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years (messed around about 10 years ago, but took quite a while off and only serious recently)

My current handicap index or average score is: no handicap - 82-86 on 6500 yd tees; 86-92 on longer tees

My typical ball flight is: draw and fairly long (about 165 with an 8i; 200 with a 5i)

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hook, hook, hook. Did I say hook? When my game goes south, I hook the ball like nobody else.

I'm going to post my swing this Sunday night, 1/13, when I can get some time to take better shots. However, I filmed a few swings tonight on my V1 for Android and wanted some "advance" advice. If that's against the rules, then I'll wait, but I've noticed that in two years I still have not been able to cure myself of the tendency to dip my lead shoulder down when my backswing reaches the top. It's better, but no matter how conscious I am of trying to avoid doing it, I can't get it out of my swing. Does anyone ave any advice to cure this tendency? Drills? I've thought of tying a bunch of alignment rods to my left side with a bungee cord, but that might throw my rhythm off a bit...

I will do my best to review other swings posted here and add any comments that I think might help. Obviously, I'm only a raw amateur and don;t want to give suspect advice, so I'll try to only comment when I think I have something intelligent to say.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 45 (27 Dec 25) - played at one of the sisters courses to my home course.  Solid session through the bag….of the 7 pars, 4 were up and down 1 putts (wedges were dialed in) from 6’ or less.  Off the tee - solid, irons were consistent even it a bit under on distances.  Course management was on - stayed the course even with a few offline recovery shots required…

      Day 453 - 2025-12-27 Two things today for about 48 balls (I like to hit three or six balls at a time before taking a small break to pick them up): Right leg stays flexed a bit, internal rotation on the backswing. Kept my eyes looking at the ball and trusted that the backswing was fine.

      Day 137 12-27 Worked on wider backswing today and tried to remain flowy. Recorded face on and down the line. Swing is looking better but I mentally felt off today, just frustrated. Tomorrow's a new day!

      2025 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Maroon88 · Posted

      I guess I'll stay at -16 for this year's challenge.  I never birdied holes 7, 13 (the 2 hardest holes) in 2025.  Also had a couple Eagle putts on the par 5's, but didn't convert either time.  Looking forward to 2026, though!
