My normal misses were fat shots, snap hooks or push right. Here are 10 swing faults that I had 4 weeks ago. I fixed some of them. If you were me, which ones would you fix first? (Unfortunately, I can't fix everything at once.) 1. head moving closer to ball at top 2. losing lag 3. upright back swing 4. clubs getting stuck 5. outside takeaway 6. ball position 7. club shaft not in plane 8. hip thrust 9. right heel coming off too early 10. losing spine angle

I think most golfers including myself know what their swing faults are. Unfortunately, we can't fix them all at the same time. The biggest problem for high handicappers and probably for all golfers is lack of improvement plans. Specifically, we need to know which one to work on first.

I believe every golfer is different. A tip may work for some but not necessarily for others. I'd like to hear some tips that didn't work for you and why. Here's one. After 5 year lay off, I was hitting every shot fat. My partner told me to put the ball back in stance so that I'll hit the small ball before the big ball. After that I always played the ball back of center for the last 1+ years and my fat shot got worse because of steeper angle of attack. Recently, another buddy (4 handicapper) saw my swing and told me never to put the ball back of center. My swing is much shallow. I still hit fat shots occasionally but they are not chunk shots.

Shot 78 for a net score of 63 at a league tournament. Broke the old net score record by 3 shots. My personal best this year by 4 shots.
