I've been Playing Golf for: 3-4 Years

My current handicap index or average score is: Low 90's occasional 80's

My typical ball flight is: Right

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Skull, Chunk and lately when I make good contact it goes right


Videos:

Ok so I rarely get an opportunity to have someone film a swing of mine and the one time I did capture it I ended up hitting a 7 iron skulled hard right, so try to ignore the very end where a take a hand off the club. I will try to get a few more videos soon to help any advice.

Things I have been working on: Keeping head in same spot. I used to kind of sway away on the back swing.

As I watch the video I think my takeaway needs help, specifically wrists. I am never certain as to when the wrist's should start to hinge and make an "L" with the club. I think I need to start that movement earlier in the swing. Any help would be appreciated guys.

Simple stuff first, I recommend you flare both feet out about 25-30 degrees. When the feet are square the knees are rotated inward and that makes the pivots stuff a lot harder.

Note the difference in the amount of torso rotation, you're hitting a PW so the turn will be a little shorter but the picture still illustrates that you could do it more.

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
