My short game for sure needs some work. Good to know my swing is ok... The follow through seems a little clunky to me but I don't know how much that affects my hitting.

It was a 5 iron and went around 190-200 yards

Two things that should help

- Turn the left foot out about 25 degrees at address, will give the left knee more room to flex forward and get more weight forward at impact.

- Let the head hang down, help you see the ball out of the center of your eyes.  Gives you a few things "for free" with the pivot and will help with consistency.

agreed with that. I think your "clunky" feeling is the hands catching up with the body and taking over at impact. Try to get the feeling of your chest rotating strait through, dragging your arms behind. Bending at the waist more as mvmac stated will definintly help with that.

your short game is what you need to work on. your swings fine. stop worrying about it. you have a nice swing. and it looks like that shot was straight. your distance is that of a pros, so I wouldn't fret over that. your short game is where you need to work. by the way do we really need protractors for golf mvmac? I mean honestly, who knows what 23 degrees looks like? I certainly don't. so try to be more specific like, "turn your toe out at about 10:00 on an analog clock. that would make it more easy to understand. I hate protractors. they made me fail 9th grade math. lol

You need a protractor to know what 25 degrees is?  I could understand if he said turn your feet 47.5 degrees...

That is like needing a protractor to know how to do a 180 degree turn, lol.

    • I apologize on behalf of… idiot men. Sorry about that. Next time, tell the guy to shut up. 😛  Day 553, May 8, 2024 18 holes from the whites with @rwolfe. Windy AF today, but hit some good shots. Slid back a little from where I was the previous two days, but… I can get it back. Made a pretty nifty birdie on 12 from some pretty odd places. 😄 
    • The angles look fine. Get as much light as you can on the area — you want the highest shutter speed you can get. Less blur.
    • Snap @ Tour Spoon! Birdied 11 yesterday. Hit a poor iron ,stopped on edge of bunker , pitch with my lob wedge landed about 6’ away and went in. Only 12 & 14 to go, long par5’s into the prevailing wind. Might be waiting a while although I did have about 15’ on 12 after the birdie on 11, didn’t miss by much.
    • Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin. 
    • Sad tale.  Both the A's and Raiders.  IMO, cities shouldn't be building stadiums for MLB/NFL teams.  But that's the world we live in.   DAY 3:  30-min range session with irons and wedges.  Working on follow thru -- no hooks! 🙂
