Welcome to The Sand Trap. Thanks for posting a video. For fat shots, it would help if you posted a face on video so we can see your weight shift and impact.

I was shooting a decent 80-85 , once broke 80 i.e.75 and that is not long ago

I started and played for 7 month at a course that was very hard, mostly fairways consisted of bare lies, greens would not hold the ball at all, being hard and at times not well trimmed. There was no practice range so I would stand on a side of a fairway( sort of a rough) and occasionally practice.

I shifted to a major city having a better golf course. The moment I've started playing on this course along with going to practice range almost 4 times a week, my score has gone to hell. I used to miss birdies on older course and here I am happy if I am putting for a bogey. 

At times parless round makes me go nuts. I don't know what to do. Flaring the toes to neutralizing the grip, I've tried every thing.

A bit of early extension is my problem but it always was there previously. I am unable to fix it despite all drills

I've tried everything to bring my club from inside, again I have failed 

My backswing is pretty short but this gives me fol distances 

60 degree W: 90 yrs

SW: 100+

PW: 120

9i: 130

8i:145

7i:155

6i:165+

I cannot hit my 5 wood at all and I dare not

Driver: 230 yrs and beyond generally in fairway 8/10 times 

My sand play is good

Short game is better than many old timers 

Putting: since these greens are new for me I 3 putt 40 %

I rest my case up to you

You're quite flat-footed at impact with very little going forward and opening up.

I had a violent lower body movement plus early extension . Advises by a pro to plant my feet during the swing. I think I am overdoing it ?

Todays morning practice session. I tried to open up and reduce my flat foot at impact but I think I have an embedded issue that would not go sooner .. any tips are welcome please.

    • If I can take a full swing, I'll use the stock club for that yardage.  I can't really get creative.  Just don't have that ability.  In the past, I used a sand wedge for all my shots around the green, opening or closing the face and moving the ball back or forward in my stance to get the flight I wanted.  I am trying now to use different clubs around the green.  I'm less likely to flub it but I struggle with distance control.  More practice required.
