I've been Playing Golf for: six months seriously; on and off for few years before that

My current handicap index or average score is: probably bogey to double bogey golfer; usually don't keep track

My typical ball flight is: high and to the right

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: shot where I hit the mat first for irons; slice for driver

Welcome to the site!

The priority that stands out to me is the amount the hips move back to your right on the backswing.

Ideally you would want them more centered, going to make solid contact much easier.

Here's more information on that.

Also check your grip, make sure it's in the fingers of your left hand, not in the palm.

Thanks for the feedback.  The centered hip turn never occurred to me.  I will definitely try this out on the range next time!

    • I'll play in anything besides lightning. The only weather I haven't really played in is a cold rain, because it's unusual to have cold rain here. It just snows instead. Here are some of the highlights (lowlights?) of what I've played in: 40 degrees, probably 30 mph winds gusting to 50-60 mph. I played fast because no one else was on the course! 32 degrees, on and off snow flurries. 100+ degrees (fortunately, no humidity). My motto currently is if courses are open, I'm playing. I'm sure this will change as my kids get older, and I have more time.

    • I voted "warm weather golfer", but I'd expand my acceptable conditions a bit.  If its over about 40 to start, and not raining, I'm OK.  (My wife uses the 50/50 rule, it should be over 50 degrees for over 50% of the round)  If its 60+ and a light rain, I'll play.  I have the gear to play in all conditions, waterproof jackets, pants, hat, rain gloves, winter golf gloves, thermal underwear, all of it, but I've become a bit more selective in my old age.  Also being retired, I CAN be more selective, I have more days available to play.  And of course for competitions or golf trips, I'll play in almost any weather.

    • Not sure if this is good or bad but I get the feeling I'm close to my ceiling if not there already as far as wedge swing is concerned.
