I've been Playing Golf for: 3 1/2 years on and off, only had about 3 lessons in total.

My current handicap index or average score is: I recently just finished doing my handicap rounds for my club where I have become a member at and that is 21.

My typical ball flight is: medium height.

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: I want to reduce the left to right on my driver but im not quite sure how to.

Welcome to the site Harvey.

Several things to get you started my friend.

1. Video recording FO & DTL - take a look at this thread

2. Flare both of your feet about 20* each and then take a look at this posture thread below.  Flaring the feet will give your hips a little more room to turn and it looks like you have a slight arch in your lower back, so that can be a quick fix you can work on.. Take a look at the thread and it is explained in details.

3. You are basically flipping at the golf ball and you are not shifting your weight to your left foot on the downswing.. you should try and feel as if 95% of your weight is on your left foot by the time of impact and feel like you are squishing a bug when you start the downswing, take a look at this thread for more info.

4. If you are really serious at improving I also suggest you take a look at this thread on the 5 commonalities between all pro golfers called "5SK" i.e. 5 simple keys.

I think this should be enough right about now, I won't be able to really comment much more on your swing until you get some better video, but welcome to the site and I would really recommend you read the below thread as well to get you started!

Good Luck!

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
