First time breaking 80 and this is how I do it… I played the back 9 first and entered flow state after the turn. Whoever said breaking 80 isn’t about making birdies was WRONG haha. I also was one inch away from a chip in birdie on the 4th and had 6ft for eagle on the par 5 9th.. that would’ve put me at 3 under on the front. Things were just clicking I guess

13HCP but been grafting hard this month with swing changes etc so nice to see the fruits of my labor

Hey all. I’ve been doing some research into my swing lately with hopes of eliminating some bad habits (24M, 8 HCP). I want to get down to a scratch in my lifetime

I’ve become fixated on is the tucked trail arm you see on the left (Dustin Johnson). It seems to be a characteristic that appears consistently among elite ball strikers and + handicaps. However, I’ve also noticed plenty of otherwise very good golfers can still play to a high standard from a much steeper position.

But, I’m trying to optimise my swing and I suppose I’m asking how might one unlock this position and is this the difference between mediocrity and greatness lmao

My misses have historically been big fades and the occasional monster slice. Otherwise I generally play a baby fade onto greens and have been able to somewhat consistently hit tight draws off the tee. But since making adjustments and trying to replicate an exaggerated in-to-out swing path I notice a tendency to pull it left immediately off the club face (with slight draw too) - which I believe to be an issue with timing in the hands (or still swing path?) My driver especially is spraying after adjustments. I d do understand that sometimes it has to get worse before it gets better but any advice would go a long way

The two positions you see above is a classic how I think I look vs how I actually look scenario 🤣 how do I get DEEP. I know many of the drills like head cover under the arm etc but SURELY there is something more definitive that will help me lock in. As much as I feel like I’m making adjustments it never looks how it feels. The whole “feel vs real” thing never translates. As soon as I make a full swing I’m back to my bad habits. Like is it even possible to change such engrained muscle memory at this point? I first picked up a club when I was 8..
