I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year
My current handicap index or average score is: 27
My typical ball flight is: slice 
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: slice with driver, hitting it fat with irons.


Figured it was time to post some Videos. It's my first year playing so bear with me here lol. I hit a lot of slices with driver, I tried collecting it by using a stronger grip but now I hit it too far left. I know my entire swing needs help but I will take any and all advice.

So just by watching my Videos I will post my impressions ( other then it sucks and I should stick to driving the cart and not the ball) I think I move too much in my swing, I have a hard time staying balanced. I also struggle to get my weight forward.

You are reverse pivoting and hitting the ball outside to in.  Think about your spinal angle and weight transfer.  There are a lot of good videos and drills on the interweb pertaining to these matters.

Trying to work on my center turn. Still doesn't look pretty but I was able to hit some decent shots on the course today.

I feel like I may be standing to upright during my turn. Also my feet maybe to far apart.

Just re watched the Videos am I standing too close to the ball? Never noticed it before but I am thinking that may also be the case.

While watching my swing I snapped this still frame. I noticed at this point in my swing my hips appear to be rotated as much as my shoulders. Correct me if wrong but shouldn't my shoulders start rotating then the hips follow after? In other words my hips shouldn't be moving in unison with my shoulders.

Your hips are maybe 50-60˚ open there, at most, and your shoulders are 80-90˚ open.  This is not the issue IMO.

    • No, they will collect the "Stay & Play" cost at the Virtues on Sunday. I was a little surprised by that, I would collect on Saturday, but I guess the person doing the reservations & bills is located at the Virtues.  I think we can trust that none of us are going to run out on the bill and leave us in a lurch.
    • Thanks for following up. Since you're going to be booking the stay and play packages, does that mean you have to put up the money up front?
    • They're playing 16 games in each match though. Don't need much of an advantage before that number of players significantly loads things in their favor. The other team has to win 8.5 games to beat them. At a 65/35 split, that's a lot and pretty unlikely (about 10% of the time).
    • Why does the second sentence have to be true? If they're used to playing a tough course that's improperly rated, they're going to both have inflated indexes and have higher skills relative to them. If their home course features a variety of different challenges, I don't see why their game wouldn't travel well. And on the flip side, some courses and their members take pride in how hard their course is and how tough it's rated, and that bit of vanity ends up hurting them in these kinds of competitions.
    • I discussed it today but can call back and re-confirm.  I would love to be wrong on that point. Note: That may have been before they changed the hotel due to lack of room at Hampton Inn. Update on Friday Hotel: If I can give a count to EagleSticks they can get us a discount on Friday night at the hotel.  I do not have the $$ but should be much lower than the $249 the hotel quoted me. I do not have my list with me for the Friday hotels but if you want one, please post ASAP and I will get the rate and get them held. Thanks @billchao for catching this.
