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!

    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
