Hi everyone!

Recently I started playing golf again. Played a bit when I was twelve then stopped for 6 years. Any pointers/analysis or criticism is welcome!

I have only recorded my SW shot on our front lawn. I will try to record a few other clubs at our school if necessary!

Gonna be tough to tell with what is basically a long chip shot.

The club appears to be rather short.

Is there any way to tell? Should the club be a certain length according to my height?

Thanks.

Most people use a longer iron like a six iron for swing videos to analyze iron shots.  It is a good middle length club.

@ChrisPietersen and myself went to our school to (finally) record our shots. We didn't wear the same clothes on purpose!

Similar clothes, similar advice ;-)

Turn those feet out and turn the hips, don't let them slide to the right. Will make the downswing pieces easier to accomplish.

As do the shorts!

They are called shorts and not mediums for a reason :-D

      ..maybe 1 shot HC change might be a good starting point..

      2-man Ambrose V 1-man Playing Best of 2 Balls

      By trapper2000 ·

      Yeah, I have a similar view. I was in the team of 2 and we got down 5 after 5. Get 1 pt if win the hole - whatever that game is called. We lost it 3 down with 2 to play so almost saved it. After the first hole when the single did a putt, then dropped a second ball, made a slight adjustment and sunk it, we thought it wasn't right. We couldn't do anything with handicaps etc so we just made them wait between putts - usually just one of us to putt. We were a 23 and 25 handicappers (probably playing to about 28) and the single was a 16 handicapper, but somehow had a HC of 20 (so that is 1 HC pt already). In terms of making it fair, and changing HC (HC1 + HC2 / 4), I think maybe adding 2 HCs to the double (or taking 2 HC off the single (after the adding and div by 4) might make it fair. Also maybe making a rule that the single couldn't change clubs for the second hit. Hard to say from that one game but possibly: - 2 shot HC adding - can't change clubs for second shot - need to have other team putt in between their 2 putts   Not sure. Do you think you'd still win or have these rules made it unfair the other way? Cheers for thoughts..

      In that case I double down on my comments - I'll take the single guy and I know if I'm in that match against two similar players I'm pretty confident that I'm the favorite.

      Cheers gbogey. The single player can hit 2 balls every shot and take the best ball, and then hit 2 balls from that spot, so your second scenario...

      Day 119: played 18. Played the back really well after I got @iacas’s advice through my thick skull. Fun round, fun trip, fun company.
