I've been Playing Golf for: 3 months

My current handicap index or average score is: 45(9 hole courses, par is 36)

My typical ball flight is: medium launch with a slight draw(don't know how I am doing that).

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is:  My initial driver shot, since it connects 3 out of 5 times.  More video's to come of me hitting my irons.


I know I'm not swinging at a ball...the local range is closed, but I have a tee in the ground that is my aim point.  My swing, as bad as it may seem, is semi-consistent.  Just looking for unbiased reviews.

Thanks,

"Gordon Ramsay"

This would be a good thread for you to check out.

Bump your hips a few inches forward to create more axis tilt (yellow line). This will help them turn more in place.

Hips and head move to the right. When the hips slide back it stalls the hip turn and causes the arms to lift (elbows pull apart).

Set the hips more forward, turn them in place, when the pivot stops the arms will also stop.

    • Day 45 (27 Dec 25) - played at one of the sisters courses to my home course.  Solid session through the bag….of the 7 pars, 4 were up and down 1 putts (wedges were dialed in) from 6’ or less.  Off the tee - solid, irons were consistent even it a bit under on distances.  Course management was on - stayed the course even with a few offline recovery shots required…
    • Day 453 - 2025-12-27 Two things today for about 48 balls (I like to hit three or six balls at a time before taking a small break to pick them up): Right leg stays flexed a bit, internal rotation on the backswing. Kept my eyes looking at the ball and trusted that the backswing was fine.
    • Day 137 12-27 Worked on wider backswing today and tried to remain flowy. Recorded face on and down the line. Swing is looking better but I mentally felt off today, just frustrated. Tomorrow's a new day!
    • Day 8 - 2025-12-27 45 minutes of short game work at local muni, mostly putting work. Trying to get lots of reps in with consistent quality tempo.
    • I guess I'll stay at -16 for this year's challenge.  I never birdied holes 7, 13 (the 2 hardest holes) in 2025.  Also had a couple Eagle putts on the par 5's, but didn't convert either time.  Looking forward to 2026, though!
