Hey everyone first post on this site. I am a great golfer... when I hit the golf ball square. I play with my old man a lot and he says my issue isn't swing basee but more along my stance and aim.

 

My biggest issues is I Hook it left most days but like today I'll pull a slice on my drives out of the blue. As well as the Hook I hit down on the top of the ball every now and again (nothing like swinging hard and seeing the ball go 2 feet behind you)

 

Thanks for the help

Back about 8 years ago before I started to take golf serious, the instructor asked what I wanted to achieve.   I said I wanted to be more consistent.   He laughed.    I was already consistent but had many flaws in my consistent swing!   I could repeat the same flaw over and over.   

You need specific target goals.   There are a lot of great videos here and free help.   @boogielicious gave some great advice.  Start a member's swing, it is free and you'll get some great help.

@dennyjones says it: you are consistent.

That's why you shoot the (high) scores you shoot pretty consistently.

The stance, and aim issues can be helped by using a good preshot routine. It would help by "consistently" settling into your shot, the same way everytime, just before you start your back swing. 

Check out "preshot routines" on You Tube. Find one you'd like to use, or use the info to develope your own.

    • Day 58: night putting session for about an hour. Started with lag putting and ended with putts inside 9’. I need to work on putts from 6-12’, but in a solid spot overall. 
    • Birdied a different #6 today (incidentally, also a par-5, but not the same one on which I previously birdied).  Here's the funny thing though:  it's the par-5 that caused me to post my "how do I avoid bogeys?" on par-5s recently.  So I guess I still haven't parred that hole.
    • Day 20, May 24.  Played 18 today, very poor ball driving.  One GIR, and it was a 4-wood from the rough.  Several other instances of hitting a green on a full swing (and at least one full swing motion -- a 50% UW) that wasn't for GIR.   Still shot an 87 and even had a birdie (chip-in).
    • Welcome to TST.  I spent a bit of time in the UK but I had to look up Wagon Wheels.  Don't think I ever saw them.  Had to Google to see.  Couple similar items in US but Google says they are different. 😁
    • Day 264 5-24 Worked on getting chest through and arms down infront of chest. Contact isn't great yet but on video looking better.
