I've been Playing Golf for: 3 months (about 15 rounds)

My current handicap index or average score is: 98-105
My typical ball flight is: either high or very flat (i top the ball sometimes)
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: topping the ball and hitting irons straight (club face closes alot when i swing irons) with drivers, i tend to slice but i can normally eliminate that. slices only happen when i rush or try to do too much and hit it too hard


This is a 6i shot at 150. it went pin height but about 10-15 feet to the right. at this point in my game i dont try to hit the ball hard, i just try to swing correctly and make good contact.

You probably have a capable phone. How about some high speed video from good angles?

I'm a newer golfer too, but I think you are WAYYY too loose with the wrists at the top of the backswing. Wrist hinge is good but a floppy club at the top isn't.

Probably right, thats probably where my problem lies with the club head coming down square (or the lack of it coming down square lol)

Yeah I think topping the ball is pretty common with this swing flaw as well.

Even though I'm not a pro or anything I would be pretty confident in saying rectifying this problem is the first thing you should focus on.

Your iPhone probably does higher speed video than your camcorder.

    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
