I have been putting quite a bit of practice in to trying to keep my left arm straight.  I have lots of shoulder turn.  When I film my swing I find that I still hinge my left arm on the backswing.  Does anyone have a drill or siggestion that I could use to help fix this problem ?

How much hinge?

A little should not be to big of a problem.

Something that could work is feeling like you're keeping your right arm as straight as possible. It of course won't stay straight, but it might help to keep the left arm from folding. If your left arm is folding there's a good chance the right arm is over folding past 90°

      Oh great, now that the door opened last year, he thinks he owns the place and waltz in for another jacket anytime he wants. Kids these days. Such entitlement. 😜

      I agree; that would be great.  The record is 20 under;  if we only include Masters Tournaments contested in April, then the record is 18 under.  Seeing Rory beat 20 under would be fantastic.

      Now I am hoping Rory breaks the all time scoring record, especially with how difficult the course is playing right now.

      A few thoughts on the past few minutes. I agree that fairways are overrated, but Rory might want to reconsider that view in the short term. For the second time today, Bryson is hitting two shots in a row from the same greenside bunker.   Xander had a similar issue on 12 earlier today, although I think that only happened to him once today.  My mother and I are sitting in my living room commiserating.    Poor Patrick Reed, only bogey of the day on #18.  Shane Lowry had a clean scorecard with 15 pars and 3 birdies.
