My Swing (cipher)

[cipher]

These comparisons are to a scratch player. I am not sure how much this really helps me but I guess it confirms what I have been thinking.150 and under is the most positive thing I have going on compared to a scratch golfer. 150+ is decent, but I know that I can be better if I can improve my fairway wood play which was pretty non-existent this season. I'm losing the most strokes in driving, and about the same amount to short game and putting combined. I believe that my biggest struggle is a centered and balanced driver swing. I tend to overswing, get off balance, and miss badly in both directions a lot. I had some good rounds with the driver and many very bad rounds this year. I also used the 3 iron a lot on holes I wasn't comfortable taking the driver out on. My short game isn't good either and my putting has been brutal this year. I need to practice those things a bit more throughout the season. I don't practice these two things much at all and need to devote a bit of time to it moving forward.

I am still working on covering the ball at impact, however to make it easier and better, my instructor has my trying to remove some extension and chest to the sky look that I tent to get before I transition down.  I went to the range this afternoon and felt like I was doing this move well and feeling huge differences.  I have to laugh because when I look at the video I was maybe fractionally better.  I've tried this move before and struggled with it, but I will stick with working on it this time and eventually I will improve the picture. 

Improving a bit but I know from practice swings I can do better with getting more chest down. Part of that is trying to feel the left knees staying more over the toes in that backswing is what I have found.

It's not just about the chest staying down, because in doing that you can end up with the hips staying a bit too far forward.

Well it's a good thing I'm coming for a visit next year then. 😊 I hope to not be working on new things all year again like I did this season. Just find my move, refine it and play.
