I've been Playing Golf for: 35 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 14

My typical ball flight is: Straight

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Trying to gain more distance.

I'm have played golf for almost 35 years. I started when I was 21 and within a few years I reached a handicap of 4, but in the later years my handicap has only gone up, since I have not played very much. But I have started to practice more this year and I have seen improvement.

My problem is that I don't hit enough greens, because I lack of distance with my driver. That means I can only reach 10 greens in regulation on my local course. And the greens I can reach, I often have to hit a wood or a long iron to. The tees I usually play from are just under 6200 yards.

I will appreciate help a lot!

So the head moves too much on the backswing making it harder to be consistent.

Note the difference in the pitch of the shoulders in these two pictures, you're going to need to feel the left shoulder bend down more to keep the head steady.

Couple things at set-up to help

- Turn both feet out at address

- Check your grip, looks weak to me. This might also help you pick up a little speed, get the grip out of the palm of the left hand and more in the fingers.
