I've been Playing Golf for: 30 years.** See Below

My current handicap index or average score is: ~20

My typical ball flight is: Random? Getting straighter again. Too much slice.

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Massive slice off the tee.

SO I played lots of golf as a kid, pretty decent like lots of high school heroes. Averagely athletic and adequately intelligent enough to play golf in the 75 - 80 range of my local course (pretty decent private club). Massive break due to (initially) an injury and then the age old money / time and time / money scenario. Picked up the bug this spring, working on getting my swing shape back.

When I started back up again I had a massive wrist flap going on so I've mainly been working on flat wrist, hip movement / weight transfer.

This is the first video I have seen of my swing in 20+ years. On the little screen it looked OK. When I moved the camera to the caddy position it was hard to see my address, so I moved the mat and then first swing with the driver hit a structural member on the bay.

It was a Eureka moment. The following caddy view videos were shot after, and whilst my swing plane wasn't perfect it was way better than my DTL swings.

I was using a GSA too, I'll try to find a way to post up the data. Here's my first ever video...

I just got a copy of LSW and looking at some really productive practice sessions to try and salvage some of my previous form.

Hi, welcome to the site. I'd like you to work on your grip, it looks palmy and weak. Going to help create more "structure" on your backswing and reduce your flip on the downswing.

- Get it more in the fingers on the left hand, heel pad on top.

- Right hand is too much "on top", get the V pointed towards the right shoulder and the first pad of the index finger on the side of the grip.

    • Day 47 (18 Jun 24) - Back to setup and easy chip swings with the PW today.  Focused on the foot position (even purposely setup too closed and too open to reinforce the most accurate position).  Also kept the balls scattered in varying depths of grass to better simulate potential on-course scenarios.  
    • If the rule was intended to allow only the two options listed, it would have read something like "the committee may choose either...... or......".  To me the wording is clear, here are some of the acceptable options. Its also important to see that the USGA and R&A were included in writing this, to make sure that the Tour policy would be acceptable under the Rules of Golf.  Like @iacas, I'm not sure that a single well-publicized screwup by a popular player is a good reason to change the procedures.
    • Correct. That's why the original tweet says "try to carry the ball the listed distance". 🙂 
    • I can't wait until the first Tour player finds an error 16:00 after returning his scorecard. Look, the PGA Tour can do this, because they have the manpower and whatnot, but… I think this is a stupid over-reaction to Jordan Spieth having to poop. Particularly when he could have said "I'm sorry, I really have to go, I'll be right back and will sign my card then."
    • Yea, I can see that being read as, here are your options.  Ive seen text like this, including but not limited to... To make sure people know that these are not the only options.  If options include, implies here are just two examples, then fine.
