  1. Pieters is a diesel, just warming up.
  2. Thomas Pieters has everything to be a future (super)star in golf. If he can avoid the occasional blow-up / horrible round such as 11th hole during The Open, 3rd day at the Olympics, ... he will get there.
  3. That backhand tho
  4. Woodie Austin, number 11 in the list
  5. I am Staying Ahead of the Game with Sun Mountain! Jason Day -7 Jordan Spieth -7 Rory McIlroy -7
  6. After some months of inactivity due to the weather, I've been practicing a lot lately. Mostly trying to hit the driver (still very inconsistent). Here's the result:Driver full speed - bad angle: 6 iron slomo: Advice, criticism, thoughts, ... are much appreciated!
  7. I managed to record 3 more swings (all of them DTL, because that's the only place I can setup my phone decently). Will have to ask someone to film from the other perspective as well in the near future, but I don't know too many people at the club just yet... In this new video I tried to keep my right elbow a bit more tucked in, and tried to start my downswing a bit more from my lowerbody (if that makes any sense?) Just see for yourself: So, I still have the problem that I slice my ball, especially with long irons, hybrids and driver I'm having difficulties with not being able to produce a nice draw or straight shot.
  8. Thank you @mvmac for the time and and effort you put into analysing my swing. The reason I have my chin up is because last week I just couldn't make decent contact with the ball with my chin tucked in and decided to keep my head up more, which made a nice difference. I'm currently at a stage in which my swing changes almost daily, because I try out lots of different things to see what works. As for the second part of your post: my local pro gave me the golf swing shirt to use when I'm on the driving range, which prevents me from taking my right elbow too far back. I will go to the driving range this evening to try and work on what you have said, and record one or two (hopefully better) swings.
  9. I've been Playing Golf for: Exactly 2 months My current handicap index or average score is: No handicap yet / Practice range only My typical ball flight is: All over the place, but most of the time it's a fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: slice So I finally decided to take up golf (exactly 2 months ago today). I took 3 lessons with my local pro and my swing has changed drastically over this short period. I used to play fieldhockey at a decent level (it's not a girly sport where I come from), but decided to stop and try out golf. One of my best friends is a +handicapper, who needed a caddy at a local tournament and asked me to do it. Immediately fell in love with the sport and that's that...Below you can find a video I recorded yesterday (short iron). I'll ask someone to take better videos but for now that's all I have.Any suggestions/remarks about my swing would be greatly appreciated.Sorry in advance for my English. Videos:
