Something I wanted to add here that I noticed is where my club head is to begin, and where it is when I'm about to strike the ball...

I find that I top the ball if I swing forward too quickly, like I'm trying to crush the ball. This tends to happen more if I get frustrated. I also find that being hungry or dehydrated at all can throw your game off and make you sloppy.

Good call on the lessons, it's something I feel like I should do.

I think it's helping to keep my arms not-so-rigid, but I don't think I can set up quite like Rory. I feel more comfortable with some arch in my back. One thing I tend to do on the backswing is cock my wrists upwards, is that a bad idea?

Thank you!

Good question, I never thought about length. It feels plenty long to me, but I've been holding the clip in line with my arms. When I go to the driving range today I'll definitely try holding the club like in the video you shared. Thanks!

I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year My current handicap index or average score is: A lot My typical ball flight is: Slice The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Topping the ball I struggle to hit the ball with any consistency and would truly appreciate any input. These videos are from my first time out at the driving range, when I went out for the second time I felt much smoother and had better results, but I'm still slicing a ton, and topping the ball. I do try to keep my arm straight and my eye on the ball each time. Videos:

I'm a fan of Den Brae in Sanbornton NH. A nice course to play that's a great value. Too bad it's over an hour drive to the North or I would definately play there more!

Not sure what to tell you for times, but your paying to play golf too and no one should be making you feel like you have to rush. You can always let other play through and maybe learn a thing or two in the process by watching someone better.

The Pirates were .500 for about a day, that was fun. If only I were interested in the local team that's capable of winning.

I'm not a fan of making the game easier. I prefer lower costs and not being pressured by groups coming up behind you.

At least you're one of the considerate ones!
