I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 18.2

My typical ball flight is: Straight or slight draw

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Always short/slight draw with irons, and draw with driver

Hello and thanks for looking at my swing! My friends say I have a "very smooth" swing. I focus more on trying to be smooth and accurate over distance/power (I dont drive very far but it is usually straight or a slight draw). Thanks for any feedback!

That driver looks enormous for your size. Is it just an optical illusion? It looks like you need a shaft like 3 inches shorter. You do have nice tempo but it almost looks like the clubs are too heavy or something for your size, like you are just along for the ride.

Welcome to the site.

- I'd narrow the stance a little and make sure the feet and knees are pointed out. Will help with the next piece.

- Turn the hips on the backswing, don't let them slide back.

Haha it might be...the shaft is 44.5 inches and I'm about 6'1'' but it does feel comfortable for me though. Thanks for the advice! I do feel like my irons are a bit heavy, especially since my swing speed is rather slow. These were a cheap brand I bought to start playing 3-4 years ago so I will be purchasing a better set this offseason.

Nice. It must be an optical illusion with the driver video then. For some reason I thought you were like 5'6 or something. I would never have guessed that you were 6'1. Weird how camera angle and distance can do that.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry
