You look very athletic and have some good stuff going on in that swing.

Your head is lowering quite a bit on your backswing.  This creates a moving target as you try to hit the ball.  Compare that to pretty much any pro and notice how little their heads move on the backswing.  You might want to do some slow motion mirror work to get the feel of not lowering your head on the backswing.

You'll hear people on this site refer to 5SK which is the 5 Simple Keys.  The fist one, Key #1, is steady head.

The first thing I noticed was you're left arm bending on the backswing causing the club head to travel way past horizontal at the top and will lead to very inconsistent contact with the ball. Work on keeping it straight thoughout until after impact when it will naturally fold. You will notice how much better you will strike the ball.

    • ..maybe 1 shot HC change might be a good starting point..
    • Yeah, I have a similar view. I was in the team of 2 and we got down 5 after 5. Get 1 pt if win the hole - whatever that game is called. We lost it 3 down with 2 to play so almost saved it. After the first hole when the single did a putt, then dropped a second ball, made a slight adjustment and sunk it, we thought it wasn't right. We couldn't do anything with handicaps etc so we just made them wait between putts - usually just one of us to putt. We were a 23 and 25 handicappers (probably playing to about 28) and the single was a 16 handicapper, but somehow had a HC of 20 (so that is 1 HC pt already). In terms of making it fair, and changing HC (HC1 + HC2 / 4), I think maybe adding 2 HCs to the double (or taking 2 HC off the single (after the adding and div by 4) might make it fair. Also maybe making a rule that the single couldn't change clubs for the second hit. Hard to say from that one game but possibly: - 2 shot HC adding - can't change clubs for second shot - need to have other team putt in between their 2 putts   Not sure. Do you think you'd still win or have these rules made it unfair the other way? Cheers for thoughts..  
    • In that case I double down on my comments - I'll take the single guy and I know if I'm in that match against two similar players I'm pretty confident that I'm the favorite.
    • Cheers gbogey. The single player can hit 2 balls every shot and take the best ball, and then hit 2 balls from that spot, so your second scenario...
    • Day 119: played 18. Played the back really well after I got @iacas’s advice through my thick skull. Fun round, fun trip, fun company.
