My Swing (BogeyBerrios)

[BogeyBerrios]

Hey everyone.  New here and wanting to try and track my swing.   I work in commercial development for a energy company, so needless to say, golf is very much encouraged.  After embarrassing myself at a couple of events, I decided it's time to put some effort into the sport.  Part of the effort was finding an instructor to help me through this.  I tried GolfTec and to me it just seems like a money grab, the instructor was nice enough, but I did not like the emphasis on indoor practice only.  I looked and asked around and was referred to Michael Boyd from here in Tulsa.  The embedded video is from our first session and it's really helped my shot (I'll probably do about 5 lessons to start with).  I'm about a week and a half out from this first lesson and finally starting to get used to the swing.  I played in a scramble 4 days ago and still played poorly, but my shots were better.  This week on the range I'm finally starting to make solid contact and good shots are about 40% instead of 10%.  Let me know what you all think and I'll keep updating my swing from lessons and update after I start taking lessons as well.

Some things we're working on next time: Head movement, better hand control, look at driver swing.

I've been Playing Golf for: 2 months
My current handicap index or average score is: 100+
My typical ball flight is: Slice or right push
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Driver slice

 

Thanks all!

i struggle(d) still do somethimes with slicing. my problem was coming "out to in" on the ball creating the spin. I changed the grip and it helped A TON. i combined that with slowing down and shortening my backswing and i can drive on a line 250ish 7 out of 10 times..  the video that led me to change my grip was titled "Golf lessons that can change your life - Hold the club - by Charlie Sorrell" on youtube. check it out. now if i could get my irons and wedges on the same page as my driver i could be  on my way to a great round of golf lol

If you can upload the video to YouTube, @BogeyBerrios, it makes it more likely for people to comment.

Plus your video seems to be of you getting instruction, and people tend to let golfers just work with their instructors if they're doing that.
