I've been playing off and on for a few years. I use to go to to the driving range and just practice hitting the ball out of the ranges, it never helped my score! Lately I've been getting more serious about becoming more rounded, and slowing/calming my swing down. My current handicap around +18 Ball flight I would say mid Trying to get rid of hitting ten good shots in a row then one bad swing messes me up for 5 or 6 more.

Think you need to turn your hips much more on the backswing.  Turn the right foot out to help this.

Notice how the deeper hip turn also allow for a greater shoulder turn.  Left shoulder has not traveled far enough back or down in the left pic.

This will make it easier to transfer the weight forward at impact.  Notice how you're back on your right foot here

Some good videos to check out

So the deeper hip turn, and weight shift will that help speed/distance or accuracy? Or both?

thank you

Yep both.  More turn will increase the speed and giving yourself a better chance to get the weight forward at impact helps contact.

[VIDEO]http://youtu.be/lsXYg4DB3H8[/VIDEO] These are some new swings today with my sand wedge using and overlapping grip for the first time in my life and really concentrating on keeping my left arm straight. First swing I topped a little bit, next 4 I hit within 5 yards of a each straight and very high ball flight. The funny thing with the overhand grip it cuts my distance down considerably but allows me to hit the ball much higher for more consistent, soft landings, which I prefer. Let me know what you guys think/see. Next time I plan on working with my hip turn more, one thing at a time

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
