Hi all, thanks for your time to assist me in analyzing my swing. I've been Playing Golf: on and off since I was young, but never pursued it. I wish I had however, and think it's finally time to make up for lost time!

My current handicap index or average score is: I do not have a handicap index.

My typical ball flight is: 250-300 yards

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Using a driver I am inaccurate and inconsistent.

I'm using an older Spalding Molitor driver from a thrift store for practice, but planning on purchasing some new clubs as soon as I can afford it.

Here's a video I took of my swing.

Welcome to the site. I would check out these two posts. Two things to take from them:

- Turn both feet out at address. You get some things "for free" when you do this. Will help you turn more on the backswing and transfer the hips forward on the downswing.

- The lower body has to transfer forward on the downswing. Your lower body stays in the same place. This is going to make solid contact and controlling the path a lot harder to achieve.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      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."
