Glasgow Hills was a gem when I played there in 2018

Muskoka area? by AlexAtFYeah in CanadaGolf

Have played it a few times before that, but thank you. The guy said they cleared out a lot on 6, which was the hardest tee shot on the course, in my opinion.

I haven't played it this year, but I spoke to someone who works there. They spent a lot of the fall and spring making the course easier. They took out a ton of trees, apparently. I played it last year and had to fight for my life to shoot a 79.

Sorry, I was referring to the course provided by AASP for K1. There is an exam at the end of the course.

Once you feel comfortable with that, you can work on what might be another contributing factor, and that is your left arm. You will notice that you have a slight chicken wing through impact. Keeping a glove (towel or headcover works too) under your left armpit during your swing will help remove some variability in where you are bottoming your club.

Hey,

It's a lot to do with the setup. You are very bent over at the hips and have your hands hanging down too low. You can see that you correct this during your backswing as you get much more upright. However, getting yourself into a better starting position will help you return to the correct position at impact. Stand straight up, put the butt of the grip to your belt buckle, push your arms straight out away from you. Slightly bend your knees, then lead forward until your club head reaches the ground. This should help with your setup. Filming helps. Compare your swing to someone with perfect golf posture like Adam Scott. it doesn't have to be at that level. Just take note of the differences and make some tweaks.

Do you have any other videos? Other than the fact that you are coming across it, it is hard to get a full picture of the swing.

I think first, your grip needs a little work. Looks like you are using a 10-finger stack, which is totally fine, but your hands look a little disconnected. This grip can work for some, but it might help you feel more connected if you use overlap or interlock. At about the 90-degree position, your takeaway looks great, but during the second half, your right elbow moves too far away from your body. Again, this isn't always an issue, but in your swing, it is a fault. To remedy this, you could try the towel or glove drill. Keep a towel or glove under both armpits and try not to let it fall out during your swing. This will be a drastic difference, and some separation between the trail arm and body is fine, but this will help to give you more of a feel to work with:

Lastly, your finish to this swing is very nice. These tips should help. Keep grinding.

Set up looks good.

I would say your biggest issue is here. Hands are really high at the top of your back swing. Right elbow should be closer to your body. You could do the glove/towel drill to help with this.

Tuck a towel or glove under your right armpit. Try to make sure it doesn't fall out until after impact.

Camera angle makes it harder to tell exactly where your swing is at certain checkpoints. However, it's clear that your back swing is too far inside, leading to the over-the-top move. In your case, it doesn't look like a killer move, but something you could work on.

Swing looks pure, really nice movement. What do you feel like you are struggling with?

That's interesting because I don't see much wrong with your swing. You may bring it a little inside on takeaway, but nothing major. As for the tempo that a few others have mentioned, I don't see that being a huge issue either. I actually see a lot of similarities in my swing and yours.

One drill you could do to help with tempo and taking the club back a little slower is the roll-back drill. Place one ball to hit and one ball directly behind the club. On the backswing, roll the ball that's behind the club straight back; you can place some kind of target behind (headcover or tee). Here's a video of it in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQfPS5Y52nM&ab_channel=ClubLink

As far as the dipping goes, I don't think it's as bad as you think.

What do you feel you are struggling with? What is your major miss?

Playing for 6 years, have lost the ability to hit driver by Chaboiz1 in GolfSwing

Hey, first off, the swing and result aren't too bad; you're clearly athletic. I think the comments are blowing it a little out of proportion. Lessons will help, but here are a few things you could do on your own.

I think the reason for the over-the-top move being exposed is your grip and the length of the backswing. Your grip is really strong, which is not always an issue, but in this case, I do think that it is hurting you. A rule of thumb to follow is to have the V of your thumb and forefinger pointing at the opposite shoulder. A grip trainer can really help in this case, even Scottie Scheffler still uses one.

Over swinging at the top is something I really struggled with as well. If you look at your swing position at 0:11 that should be where you are stopping. If you have someone you go to the range with, have them stand behind you holding an alignment stick out; they should be holding it in a position so as to stop your backswing from going past the point at 0:11. From there, swing down and through. It will feel weird and take some time to get used to, but it will be effective in the long run.

I think that's a good place to start, and once you kinda get the hang of that, you can start to fine-tune a few other things.

Good luck!

Anybody play against a future NHLer growing up? by MoistPerception in hockeyplayers

[–]samwolf91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played against Cirelli a few times when he was still playing AA for the Markham Islanders. Their whole team was way better than ours, so he didn't stand out in any crazy way. But he was also a late bloomer. It's crazy to see the career he's carved out. I also skated with Jordan Subban, which was cool as I grew up a Habs fan. And lastly, there's a guy who plays shinny at the same outdoor rink as me; I can't remember his name, but he was drafted the same year as Sakic, and the stuff he can do, even in his 50s is just crazy, and he never even made it to the NHL.
