Golf Swing Current Thoughts

These are the things I'm currently working on:

  • Driver: hit it straight or fade it, aim up the centre of the fairway, picking a target, swing to that target, have an open stance, ensure chest stays in line with the club to get a proper turn, don't hit it too hard
  • Result: the ball should go straight or have a slight fade if things go right, never need to to the left or right of the fairway, just aim straight
  • Irons: hit punchy shots, keep chest in line with club to get proper turn
  • Result: ball should go straight
  • Chipping: generally hitting a low punchy chip (8, 9 or PW) works better
  • Result: just getting the ball on the green for a 2 putt opportunity is better than sculling it across the green, if you have to go over a bunker then of course you need a 60 most likely
  • Putting: make sure to move upwards on the ball in the downswing, tilt body upwards
  • Result: with this approach my line and pace control has been much better, not many 3 putts

Other things:

  • My grip is in a solid place, I don't think that much needs to change
  • I probably still don't really need to use hybrid or 3 wood much, maybe practise with the hybrid at the range a little bit, it would help on some of the shorter par 4s
