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 ?

    • Thanks and it already has! Like I said, the last three months of my season were the best golf I've ever played. I'm within the realm of "this is fun for me" now. It was super tough grinding thru that break 90 consistently zone where I just kept hitting the toe, I kept popping up and out of every shot, getting steep. I am one of those guys doomed to shoot 95 forever if I don't really put a lot of work in, and I just wasn't gonna go out like that. My goal is definitely to get to that point of playing lots of courses and stuff like you are, but it's been the right thing for me to focus on developing a better motion. The amount of gym work too I've had to do? I see a DPT with TPI level 2 certification twice a week. I'm in the gym five days a week. The sun zaps the crap out of me for the gym too and I need that energy for all the other things I do on top of this stuff. I'm not really trying to become scratch either tho that would be nice! I'm just enjoying the puzzle that is golf, trying to overcome its challenges in an efficient and smart way. I'm very aware of the physical limitations I'm fighting so this summer has been continuing to address those with a good therapist.  But that's awesome, my goal is to get out there and enjoy new courses, play more rounds, just like you're doing! We'll see how this season goes, but I might be near doing that, if I'm not there already. I was only losing like one ball a round over those last three months or so, which is great for me on these sometimes tricky Florida courses.
    • Good luck and I hope it all pays off for you.  I play in 2 year round stroke play tournament leagues.  I enjoy it, love the competitiveness and enjoy both groups and playing different courses every week.  My goals these days is not to be come a scratch player but to shoot under my age.  
    • 😄! I'm not kidding, man! The summers here are pretty rough! I'm not playing at sunrise or sunset though! Seriously, I brought a buddy of mine out for a round in June and he's normally good at handling heat and even he was like "yea this isn't very fun" after about 9 holes.  Keep in mind, I'm not really "playing," either. I'm grinding on the range, making my swing better. It's not nearly so bad if all you are doing is playing and riding a cart, never trying to change your golf swing. But that's not how I experience golf. For me it's like 5 range sessions for every round? It's just how I like doing it, I don't like ingraining my bad move by playing a lot of rounds. And keep in mind, this is a luxury for me. I've played non-stop for three straight years, working on my swing. It's definitely trickier grinding the range in these conditions. And I needed a mental break from it too. My dad for example, he plays thru the hot summer conditions, but he never gets lessons, never works on his game. It's just rounds for him, usually at sunrise. He never gets better. I've decided to take a different path than him in this game. The months away are good for me to do something else because disciplined practice, really thinking about what I'm doing, and trying to change things can be mentally tiring.
    • Geez!!! You were born in 1983.  I was born in 1946, live in SE Texas where we have had 105+ head index all summer and I have played at least 3 days a week all summer long.  I have played all over Florida both summer and winter.  The breezes there seem to be much better than the still heat we have.
