I've been Playing Golf for: 5 Years (Taken a 2 year break and getting back into it now)

My current handicap index or average score is: 18

My typical ball flight is: Slight Draw

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Low Hook Left or a HUGE slice!

Hi all,

It has been 2 years since I last played any sort of golf and my swing has fallen into a right mess!

If anyone could shed any tips or faults on my swing I would greatly appreciate it!

I have been hitting my driver a lot out of the heel rather than anywhere else on the face.

However, with my irons they seem to be plumb in the middle.

Golf is such a silly game...

I shall look forward to your advice and pointers!

Regards,

Alex

It's hard to tell much from a practice swing. Can you post a swing hitting a ball?

Hi Boogielicious,

Due to my local range being very confined I cannot show a ball being hit.

Regards.

Could you hit a whiffle ball or a ball into a net?  Many of us just post hitting into a net.

I don't have enough room for a net sadly, but I may be able to use a whiffle ball.

I shall see if I can pick some up.

Thanks.

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
