so my golf season started off well with consistent scoring with my rounds between 79-84. scored very consistent for awhile then last month or so ive been all over the place, mid-high 80's, now last 3 rounds of 95,95 and 96. just seemed to lose it and cant find it right now. so i filmed my swing and did some slow-mo pics and noticed my hands were very low coming into the ball as if i was pulling the handle thru the impact area causing a wide open club face. i mean wide open, i had one still and i was maybe 18-24 inches away at impact and my club was so open, the toe was pointing wide pen to the back, so at impact i had massive flip in an attempt to close the face. at time it worked by most of the time it didnt. also during my rounds my iron play has been terrible with the same 3 misses, which are:(in order of most occurrence)

*fat shots

*hooks left(more lower flight and i am normally a high ball hitter)

*weak shots off to the right

is there any drills or videos that you guys can recommend that may help


Does the ball fade as well or does it stay straight after you hit it to the right?

Just a very slight fade. Off the driver or wood I play a consistent draw my miss there is left. Irons are a major prob right now. But it's not a slice, mainly a push I guess with small fade. That's prolly the least of my misses.

Where are most of the balls starting, left, straight or right? The more you flip the more the face will point left. Players that draw the ball typically have the face aimed right of their target at impact.

I'm thinking it's more of a path problem than a face problem, feel free to start a swing thread and post a video

Definitely try and start a swing thread, get some face on and down the line video of your swing. Check out this thread on filming your swing. [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/b/playing_tips/filming_your_swing]http://thesandtrap.com/b/playing_tips/filming_your_swing[/URL]

    • It’s not live on free to air tv in the UK, and hasn’t been since 1995. ( I pay a subscription to Sky for generally good golf coverage). There are limited highlights on the BBC for some golf events, but that’s it. Are other/all PGA events on NBC?  Allowing ticket scalping is a systemic failure across sports and showbiz, which could be legislated against, but in the UK is not in any meaningful way. I don’t know much about the secondary market in the US or anti scalping measures.  Charging more to keep prices down is an interesting concept, in practice no doubt you are right even if It sounds a bit Catch 22  Do you think sports tickets and broadcast rights  should be sold on a purely capitalist basis, or is there an argument to say that some sports might benefit more from wider exposure and affordable access. ( golf in the US is apparently not one of these if tickets sold out at those prices so quickly)  Fans might benefit from cheaper tickets and in the UK at least, TV coverage that reaches a wider audience.

    • Day 65 - 2024-12-04 Helped @NatalieB with her stuff on the force plates, then hit some balls working on the left wrist stuff. Picking up the club.
    • Day 216 (4 Dec 24) - Dink and roll Weds - working on the green side short game covering 5-10 yd chips to low running pitches to about 50 yds (I have accommodating neighbors).  Focused on keeping stance more narrow, eye target about 2” in front of the ball AND not looking up until I see the ball leave.  This drill has really enhanced my confidence in making more consistent ball strikes.
