I've been Playing Golf for: off and on 4 years, never actually started to play until last year 

My current handicap index or average score is: 85.12/72, 84.11/71, 82.93/70
My typical ball flight is: straight-draw with my irons, fade with my hybrid, fade-slice with my driver
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Fixing my driver above all, getting more distance, being more consistent on eliminating miss hits (usually tops)


Videos: 

5 Iron- Back View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uq_bZT4GGTw Info: The ball was a little pulled to the left and had a nice little draw on it, not my typical iron shot but it does happen non the less. Club is a Callaway Forged X 5 Iron. Estimated distance is about 155 yards.

5 Iron- Side View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIWcyQdxxEQ Info: The ball went dead straight, but popped a little higher up in the air than I would've liked. Club is a Callaway Forged X 5 Iron. Estimated distance is about 150 yards.

3 Hybrid- Back View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiFhOaXCV3g Info: (Sorry for the barking my parents had just gotten home and my dogs went crazy) I definitely swung down on the ball, it was low and had a decent cut to the right- not my typical hybrid shot at all. Club is a Callaway X Hot 3.0 Hybrid. Estimated Distance is about 170 yards (I typically hit it about 185 with my hybrid).

3 Hybrid- Side View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxIr0048VMU Info: I hit the ball higher than i'd like but it flew pretty straight, had a slight fade likely from the wind. Club is a Callaway X Hot 3.0 Hybrid. Estimated Distance is about 185.

Driver- Back View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2UlY55p_FE Info: The shot went a little high, because of how high I was teed up (I didn't want to scratch my club on my lawn). All together it was pretty good, high, a little pushed, a little draw. Club is a Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 9.0 Driver (adjusted to D and +2). Estimated Distance is about 210 yards.

Driver- Side View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t8uYd8RqUU Info: Still a little high for the same reason. Pretty straight and had a nice little draw on it. Club is a Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 9.0 Driver (adjustments are D and +2). Estimated distance is about 220 yards.

    • Down the line and face on from today. Still feeling like I’m sticking the club into a hole in the ceiling above my right shoulder and then big loop inside to start downswing. That’s how it feels. Not how it looks though! Gotta keep working on this for a bit but I see a lot of progress. 😁
    • Day 5 (13 Mar 26) - Friday shootout cancelled- made it a practice round working from mixed tees. Plenty of up and down work around greens.  Best was a hole out birdie on the par 3 #5 hole - nice pitch and roll w/Pw from about 10yds off the green - dead center flagstick drop.  Much of round was focused on getting solid weight shift into lead foot. 
    • Day 208 3-13 Worked on wrist arching and flow. First time hitting reall balls at a range in months. It was nice to see ball flight. Still not sure it beats my backyard practice station. 
    • Three hole match - microphones on in the cart. It's fascinating listening to them talk about their shots and how they play them. I'm not normally a huge fan of the TM videos - they seem forced to me - but this one doesn't. It's also fun seeing their competitiveness over what on the face of it is a fairly meaningless 3 holes, but they can't help themselves.
