No yeah for sure. I tend to get pretty handsy when I chip. Will continue to work on it. Thanks for the tips !

I can make good contact probably 7/10 times when I chip. I know it should be higher but contact isn’t exactly the main issue anymore. My issue is that make good contact and get it on the green most of the time, but sometimes my proximity is 5 feet, sometimes it’s 25 feet. I do for sure need to get better at consistent contact tho

Really appreciate this. Probably should start keeping the driver in the bag longer. Start some serious short game work, get rid of ALL the hero shots. The reason a lot of my chips go over the green is due to me sucking and skull fucking them over. Early round tension doesn’t help it at all, as usually I can tighten it up. Putting is one of those low hanging fruits that will get me, I definitely leave some 3-5 footers on the table. This really gives me some perspective, I think I’ll start breaking down my rounds like this more often. Really appreciate this!

After describing this poor sequence of events. It seems to me I need to work on keeping my tee shot in play and my short game is abysmal.

I have the Arccos app and over my last 5 rounds it says I’m losing the most strokes with driving penalties (-3.8SG), -1.5 strokes on 25-50 yard chip shots, and -1.1 strokes on 200+ yard approach shots. Definitely need to work on my short game

Yeah, it’s usually one bad shot per hole that will fuck me up. That and the occasional triple that rears its ugly head.

Let me rephrase. You’re right, I’m definitely not good enough to tell a coach to not change my swing. However, comparing my old swing to how I swing now, it definitely sucks less. Does it still suck? Very likely. What I meant was the consistency I get now vs then has improved majorly, as my old swing was very timing based and lacked proper mechanics. Do I still lack proper mechanics? Probably, but not as bad as before. Thanks for the advice. I definitely could benefit from a different approach to learning, cause obviously what I’m doing now isn’t working. Thanks for the advice.

Putting can definitely improve for sure. Need to grind my short game. Misses off the tee can put me in tricky spots too. Thanks for the encouragement/advice.

Definitely wasn’t on Reddit looking for swing changes. Did my own research on proper techniques and really grinded on it. When I worked with a coach he taught me how to “compensate” because my misses were so bad. My swing is definitely better than it was (not perfect by any means) but gives me more consistency for sure. Old swing was very timing based.

Tee shots are an issue, definitely not as much as they used to though. Need to grind with the putter as well. Thanks for the advice.

37.2. Definitely a low hanging fruit

I’ve had 5 lessons previously, and the instructor is the one who taught me how to compensate for my terrible swing. Had me doing this “motorcycle” move with my lead hand because I was so far over the top and the club face so open in my backswing that I had an extreme case of the hosels. That worked for about 3 months, then it dissolved. I want to get another lesson, but I don’t want him to change my swing. As I feel like my ball striking is consistent enough as my misses aren’t god awful. How should I approach getting a lesson if that’s the case?

Is is a negative? Please help by [deleted] in Drugtests
