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!

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
