Another inconsistent day on the course for me. Started with an ugly triple, but found a groove near the end of the front nine, then lost it again on the back.   Took some video of a couple shots today. This first one is me going for it in two on the par 5 17th hole. A 270 yard drive left me with about 220 over water with a hybrid. Wasn't having the greatest game so I figured I go for it. Just cleared the water and made par..although I should have made birdie. (Yes I am aware of my GIANT backswing) Here's a slow mo of my drive on 18..was one of the best of the day! |

Haha... happy to see I'm not the only one with that annoying flying elbow!  |

Is your favorite player John daly by any chance - Canuck?
Downswing looking good - but that arm overrun is not healthy for the consistency. Bet it goes a long way when you clock one though....
Looks like a nice course!

Looks like a nice course! That big backswing creeped into my game a couple years ago and I've been trying to get rid of it, but it doesn't feel like I'm making a full swing when I shorten it and I don't make a full turn and end up slicing! |

Hey Andre, we could share a teaching Pro. I suffer the exact same problem(s).  Anything else than overswinging just doesn't feel like a (full) golf swing to me. I often tried to get rid of it... I always failed. |

Best advice I can give you two is to try a short pause at the top on the shorter backswing. That should let you feel like your body gets fully turned.

The pause is a good way to get 100% consistently, for sure.

I've actually shortened my backswing considerably in the last couple of years and instead focused on pinching the ball a bit more than I used to. Has helped with consistency a lot. Still working on distance consistency but direction is better. Honestly it doesn't matter how you get there... as long as your impact is good you're fine.  |

Doesn't look like the Morgan Creek I play. ... but then again, you're not playing in Roseville, CA. LOL
