It’s a horrendous hole. I played a 7 iron down and only the long grass stopped my from going in the drink. 230 to the flag into a par 4. Idiots.
I've had 4 lessons and it's basically the same one all the time. I generally play 4 times a week. I never hit balls on the range. I'll go on the putting green for 15 mins before I play. I see lads practicing all the time and wish I had that in me but I find it boring. I'm now off 2 but I know I don't have the dedication to get lower. I'm coming up 48 so I know this is my peak.
This sounds familiar to me. I've been down to 6 a couple of times, can't be arsed with bashing balls on a range. I get ready to play 30 minutes before me tee time, spend 10 minutes on the putting green and have a few swings to loosen up. If I have an opportunity to play then I want to get out onto the golf course as it is what I enjoy. At the age of 55, I am coming to the realisation that my best golfing days are behind me but it won't stop me enjoying the game.
Been down to 6 and now a steady 8, and that is a usual for me here when the Bermuda grass grows and changes. Summer months when it grows it becomes hard to score if you are not on the short stuff.
I used to take each club way to much in the inside and that resulted with an over the top and slice or pulls. The fact I took it straight to the inside meant everything after that was me trying to recover and hit the ball. I was starting my swing with my hands which then rolled over and the club went around me.
The 2 hours was gonna be split between short game and full swing tbf. I was in the pro shop this afternoon complaining I was thinning the tits off my chips and he started giving me advice and demos in the shop.This is the chipping one from Danny Maude.
I can't advise you, I'm not good enough but what I can say is I went down the YT Rabbit hole looking for fixes for what I was doing until I was fecked. I stopped watching everything and now only focus on one or two of the same lads and then when they have something that may help my problems or want to improve a certain aspect of my game.
Its taken me almost 18 months to change me swing, but it only started with 4 lessons to get me back on track which were 40 mins long each and focused one one thing at a time. 1st lesson was finding the fault, 2nd was all about taking the club back, which was concentrating on the first 2 foot of the back swing, 3rd was how the club moved forward after hitting the ball and again this was all about the line the club took 2 foot after striking the ball. The last was putting it all together. 4 lessons, one drill at a time to work on and a month or so between each lesson worked great for me. Some of the drills I did in the house without a ball and its gone good for me. After that I've gone from a big slice to straight to baby draw.
I'd say a two hour lesson is way to much, try 40 mins or so and get him to just work on a simple move that you can stick with.
Its a pain the butt this game

I dont think so mate, I darent change from my bespoke set.
Popping it up like that sounds like a steep swing to me. Which can sometimes work for irons - up to a point. If you’re steep with a driver ya dead. Mickelson is steep and can’t drive for shit - he is the anomaly though most players aim to be shallow.
I just scheduled some lessons... Hopefully that can sort me out. Last thing I want to do is spend the remainder of summer and autumn fiddling with my swing watching you tube videos.
It probably is, all arms and no turn or weight shift. Some pros get away with it because they have a lot more club speed and technique, I seem to remember that DJ hits 2 degrees down on the ball and he's a 300+ yard average driver of the ball.
