Hi,

I've been Playing Golf for: 15 months
My current handicap index or average score is: 100-105
My typical ball flight is: All over the place
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: My drives and fairway wood shots are inconsistent.  It may be time for some lessons.

Thank you in advance for your feedback!

Welcome to My Swing threads, Rick!

I'm no instructor, but I would humbly suggest read up about centered hip turns. Here is you, and I see some swaying:

Good thread:

This may or may not be your priority, as instructors may spot other things that they'd fix first that are contributing to the sway. But if you read the thread, it will likely shed some light as to why you should head this direction at some point in your golf swing.

Good luck!

Good pickup @RandallT!  I've had that sway problem from the get-go, but it's improving, just not enough I guess.  :-)  

Thank you for guidance on my swing.

I think @RandallT has got you on the right track. Another thread you can take a look at is this one.

I'd work on that one first. Should also help you get some hand depth.

Work on the pivot/centered hip turn first, though.

    • 70 today. The number looks good but, the course is a par 67 (5,110 yards, 64.3/115.). While the 70 took quite a few good shots to achieve, I am not counting that as shooting my age.
    • Played our town’s executive course this morning. Everything is closing but for now Huron Hills remains open. #13 is shaped like an upside down backwards L (dogleg left). Only 231 yard par 4. Dogleg has a tree guarding the corner and a sand bunker guards the green for those cutting the dogleg. Tiny green. About 10 years ago or more I would try to cut the dogleg. The hole is so short that even if one tangled with the tree or was bunkered, par was likely and birdie was still on the table. Now in my 70’s, I just hit it straight and try to wedge it close for birdie. Today I screwed up and pulled my drive. I wandered around a bit when my ball was not in the bunker. Finally located it on the approach to the green. Almost chipped in and tapped in the 2 inches for birdie. Best unintentional shot of the week. 😲

    • Why wouldn't it have? It's not like you were playing it as a 145yd par 5 and made a 2 or something.  Or not like it was playing 50yds to a temporary green or something either.
