I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 88

My typical ball flight is: low on rescue club

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


Hi Everyone,

New to the forum.

Any advice is very apperciated, this is only my 1st year of golf.

I try and make it to the range almost everyday. I have been shooting high 80s consistenly for the last two months at various courses but I am trying to become more consistent when getting off the tee box.

My irons are very consistent and save me a lot of strokes.

I am having some troubles with my hybrid club and 3 wood. (driver I dont even bother with)...

Videos:

Some good shots - Some bad shots - trying to figure out the differences!!

Hybrid Club:

Great shot.

Iron shot:

Iron shot 2:

3 wood : Awful. Topped it the first 2 swings, last swing is a nice 250 yrd slight fade.


Looks like you don't get your weight to the left side effectively which explains a lot of the tops and thins. Also it appears you stand too far away from the ball, which may explain the hook.

Gotta work on camera angles. Need momentum moving to your front foot. To ingrain this I used to: Address the ball as normal, then pull my left foot back to my right(rear) foot. Swing to the top and step into the ball and swing simultaneously. Swing easy and don't actually hit the ball Then do the same thing, but hit the ball. Hit a few this way, then try to bring your weight shift into a normal swing with feet planted. Just never go full baseball mode!

    • 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.
