I've been Playing Golf for: 60 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 5.1

My typical ball flight is: push draw

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: overhooking the irons

Observations?

Pete, good to hear from you again.

The attempts to slide forward are resulting in the lead knee staying flexed a bit too long. Add more "snap" to help speed up the pivot. Notice in this picture the softness of your left knee but also roughly where your hips are pointed at impact rather than being about 40-45° open by now.

Paging @cipher - he can give you some good feels for this. On the bright side they should feel more powerful too and add clubhead speed.

Yeah press into the ground and thrust more.

I would say THIS .

Feeling the extension along the left side and throwing that left hip towards left field while still feeling the depth of the right hip.  And it is as if the right hip is the hinge.   Also maybe flare the left foot out more to help with getting that left hip around and to protect your left knee.

Once Erik taught me how to do this properly I gained  much distance with more accuracy.  It was rough... ;-)

Hopefully this helps, had to post it a bit too quick quick as I am a bit short time.

Hey Guys

The weather conditions are questionable but the snowball I hit flew just right of the target with a slight draw. :-)

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • 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."
