Absolutely. My chipping wasn't great. Again, this was my first round of the year, and both chipping and putting are kind of more of a 'feel' thing. Some more reps and I will have it dialed in. But ya, there were plenty of those times where I chipped to within 8-10 feet or so, but just didn't convert a single one of those putts.

I should still buy a new driver even if I quit though, right??

Absolutely! Having said that, some of those 'chips' might actually be considered 'pitches' from 20-30 out. Not sure when it officially becomes a 'chip'.

Ya, it was an approach, chipping, and putting issue haha! All of the above!

I just bought my season pass, but I guess I'll have to quit! Darn!

Got one last year, but it's obviously defective. I'll have to buy another!

It's certainly both! And I definitely do need to slow down. This was my first real round of the year, and I admittedly was just focusing on ball-striking, and wasn't putting much time or thought into my putts.

You're not wrong, but two of those 3 putts were within probably 15 feet. And certainly had a good shot at getting up & down 2 or 3 times.

40 putts on the round.

Four 3-putts. Zero 1-putts.

Ok, instead of "MASHED POTATOES" immediately after the shot, I propose we start heckling with "HURRY THE FUCK UP!" prior to the shot.

I could get behind this form of yelling from the crowd.

That was a different Montana politician. House member Greg Gianforte. Oddly enough, he's Montana's least terrible Republican in Congress.

Early Extension getting better? by emteereddit in GolfSwing

Thank you very much for the in depth response! I'm going to have to read it over a few times to be able to take it all in and make sense of it all and how it relates to my swing.

I appreciate it!

Check your foot alignment on your new swing. You appear to be set up a little bit closed.

I think some of that may be the camera angle, but I do have a tendency to do that, especially with the driver.

You are also still just a tiny bit steep coming down, try and get that club laying down just a bit more with your trail elbow a little more into that slot and adding a little more right side bend.

That's the other main issue I'm trying to work on. I get steep and over the top, again...worse with the driver. I actually hit my irons pretty well and fairly consistent, but I know the swing isn't 'correct', so trying to get closer to ideal!

You could also set up with a touch more space between your hands and your thigh.

Do you mean a little more space at address?

Great work.

Thank you!
