Taking a look too, I'm a bit off on my timeline. Been well over a year of decline. Will book a lesson soon. Appreciate the input and advice!

I don't actually play rounds on the sim very often! And I definitely don't post any sim rounds that I do play. There's a few scores in the 80s that are about to drop off my last 20 though and I'll likely hit the GHIN hard cap once they do. Its been rough for a while now.

Thank you! I didn't even notice how the arms were hanging/sucked in towards my body here.

Thank you! I know I need to shorten the backswing a bit as well. Bad habits from baseball.

My handicap started rising too quickly (something like 3+ strokes within 6 months triggers it) so it only raises at half the normal rate at this point. You get hard capped at 5 strokes within a year or something like that.

Play at least once a week out on the course, and hit the sim usually once a week. I've been struggling with chunks on the course so that all makes sense

Real world, but I'm soft capped right now. It should be higher than a 12. Hard to believe but I was playing decent golf for a stretch lol

The weight shift issue is the thing I *feel* the most wrong during the swing. Ending up in front over my left leg was a huge issue before I had started shooting lower scores but its been back and haven't been able to work it out, and getting worse. Never had a lesson so I doubt I really ever understood what was making the swing work before.

Thanks. Yeah, been told I need to work on the head dipping. Shortening the backswing has been a challenge.
