The more I play golf the more I realize that being able to hit it where you want it is so much more important than being able to hit far.

I really want to straighten out my shot.

Do you need perfect form?

Do you take off some speed and focus more on hitting straight?

Is my line off?

Is it how you set up with your stance, ball position and grip?

Eric ( @iacas ac) have posted many videos on the site about the 5 keys of the golf swing.

Understanding the importance of swing path is essential to hitting shots at the projected target.

It's all of those things and more, unfortunately.

Also… the straighter hitters are often the longer hitters, too, and vice versa. Why? Because hitting a golf ball is a skill, and you tend to improve at BOTH things to a point.

    • Day 161 - Practiced some good backswing, transition, and impact positions. Made some really slow swings while trying to drive impact with my left heel. 
    • Day 7:  putting practice at home focusing on my speed/distance
    • Day 64: Priroty piece work with 7-iron, half swings, plus 10 Almost Golf balls with driver, full swings. 20 balls each chipping pitching. 
    • I've been really happy with my game dispite not playing a tonne this year.    My two biggest weaknesses have had turn arounds. Driving and chipping has got much better. Used to slice my driver terribly every time, but managed to not hit 1 bad slice today. Chipping has just started to turn around, only mishit one from a weird lie where I didn't commit to the shot. Of 8 rounds this year, two in the 80s, three below 95, and only one over 100 (with horrible greens).    Just got to work on trying to at least go to the range once or twice a week for some consistency. Hit I think 4 really bad miss hits, and was a little slow starting with 3 or 4 mini slice/hooks with irons on the first few holes. Still much more good than bad shots, but more practice should get that good swing happening more and more frequently.
