Hey fellow golfers! First time post and new member. This site is awesome and has helped me tremendously. (Golf wise and entertainment wise lol) My situation is this, im a ship captain that works offshore and im gone about 28 days and home 14. When im home its always a little rough to start back again but always find my swing after a few days at the range. My hc is about 15-18. What can i do when im on the boat to help me retain my golf swing while no where near a golf course? Miss is typically a hook, if u didnt catch that. I draw the ball with everything but a putter. Any ideas?! Thanks!

Welcome to the forum @CaptHook !

There are lots of drills you can do, but first, can you hit balls into a net?  If so, there are many drill in this thread.

If you posted a video of your swing in the Member Swings section, you could get drills to work on.

If you don't have a net, but can bring a club or two, then you can do simulated hitting drills or mirror work if there is a mirror available.

I swing sometimes just to a mat with a rubber tee in it.  And I do it slowing as described in the thread below.

Thanks for the reply. No way i could hit into a net on the boat. That would be a dream, as well as a safety issue lol Im offshore now, but as soon as i get home you can bet your putter ill be at the range and posting a video. (2days left! Whoo hoo!!!) I'm sure I could get more specific drills after I post a video. One thing I could get advice for without video is in my backswing, the club kinda bounces at the top. Thought about an early wrist hinge?

Send us the video in a My Swing thread.  We have great instructors on this site that could better answer your questions.

There's a thread on here about 5 minutes of practice at home a day.  I bet that would be good for you.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
