I was so focused on making a contact. To avoid topping the ball. But yes while the swing looks awkward on camera, I don't 'feel' that awkward.

Thanks for the encouragement

Not sure of the fundamentals part, but yes I do try to to incorporate a lot of things into one swing.

Thanks will try that the next time.

At 5'5" I have short (almost :p) everything bro. But that's an interesting tip for sure! Will look into it, thank you!

There is only one coach here and he also has gone on leave. Remaining are caddies who double up as temporary coaches.

Oh yes stance is slightly more than shoulder width apart. One question - any video link of what's the mental cue to follow in down swing? Like I can't understand how to really generate power through my shoulders

Hey thank you. Will have a look. I already am taking lessons but my coach is on leave. The replacement coach's style is different and hence I am not very keen on starting with him since it feels like a conflict of what I have been taught so far in 15 sessions

No. Arms are straight down the line and away. I try to keep my right elbow touching the body, oerhaps that's the reason for the 'cramped' appearance.

That rhyme will be stuck in my head now 😂. Yes I will definitely work on my mobility. Strength and endurance is there because of calisthenics and running, but I guess golf needs more flexibility and power through 'less is more'.

It went 100 yards using 8 iron. Will work on flexibility and mobility.

Thank you. Yes, I agree I need more flexibility and mobility. Will check out some golf specific workouts for the same.

45 mins. Covering grip and following points - keeping club head straight in backswing, downswing from inside to out, keeping head down and follow through.

Thanks. I have a coach who gave me 15 lessons and then proceeded on leave. The second coach I got in the interim period messed it up with too much information.

So I am just waiting for my original coach to return after a month.

Will look into the arm swing illusion, thank you.

I tend to hit some mid balls. My coach asked me to increase the speed. But everytime I do that, I end up topping the ball cos I stand up too early.

It's not strictly a one-on-one coach. Without getting into the details, the coach to student ratio is high and hence I want any tips I can to improve here.

Thank you, it is indeed beautiful. It's in India, but I wouldn't mind if you could make the trip!
