I've been Playing Golf for: On and off for 10 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 20+

My typical ball flight is: High and draw

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Snap Hook or Topping


Videos:

I've always gotten around with my irons, and never could touch my woods/driver.  So looking at a lot of posts about set up, trajectory and the difference between the irons and woods, I have been able to get it in the air.  But, even what I think are my best shots don't go further then my irons.  I can get my 3 or 4 iron as far as my driver, about 200 carry, at the range.  I hardly ever go out and play a course because I don't feel confident about my consistency.  I'm looking to add some consistency and distance to my driver.  I would like to post my iron shot later, as I feel I need some more consistency too, my iron gaps seem to disappear as I go down in loft as well.

Any face on video?

Would like to see you "stretch" the arms out more on the downswing/followthrough. Will definitely help with the hooking/topping.

Good drill to check out.

    • Day 194: July 4th Putting through 50 mm gates. Tried a few dry swings but elbow pain shut that down.
    • @boogielicious, @WillieT, @StuM - thanks for the kind words.  Felt patriotic getting an eagle on the 4th! Lucky with the start word.
    • Got the Stack in November 2022, but my workouts with it have been sparse. I’ve never completed a program and I only do Return to Form because my body hasn’t felt great enough to do them often. Thankfully that is changing now finally. I’ve spent two years doing regular needle work, nonstop gym workouts for three years, and over the last six months, a lot of stretching. My doctor graded me an F for mobility six months ago. He checked me again this week and gave me an A++ for improvement. Huge restoration of mobility in my hips, lumbar spine, thoracic spine and hamstrings. It’s helping so much for golf and of course speed. I still have a ways to go here but I’m probably at a B to Rory’s A+ for mobility. I haven’t done much speed training but clearly I’m getting faster. Pretty happy to be where I am right now despite only scratching the surface of this. Hoping I can continue to build here. My goal is to start and complete the Foundation soon. Fingers crossed! When I came back to golf two years ago, I was around 88 mph with driver. Now my cruising speed is about 99 with a recent high of 104 mph during my range session on Saturday. Pretty exciting 😀. Okay, time for another round of burgers. I appreciate this thread and everyone’s respective journeys here. Happy 4th of July, everyone! 🇺🇸💥✨🌭🍔
    • Day 25:  Went to the range super early before it got too hot.  Hit a couple buckets, one with my 7i and one with my driver.  
    • An incredible video that I encourage you to watch. I didn't know the PGA Tour's Apple Vision Pro app was so cool.
