    I try not to but when everything is going left I start aiming right. I feel I'm getting stuck a bit but even when I try and get the arms in front I hook it.

    Steve, that may work for the draw, but I'm trying to remove the ball moving so much.

    Cannot fade a ball to save my life. Which hurts when my whole game is to work the ball from the safe parts of the green (or fairway) into targets and not short side myself

    The general wisdom seems to be to focus on hitting the inside quarter of the ball, with the follow through on the same line, i.e. finish right of target line. From the frames you posted, you look pretty stuck in frame 4. No impact shot but I am guessing you are saving it with your hands and arms whipping the club around through impact, giving you a pull hook.

    Worked on the alignment and opening up. Fade was back which is nice. Will see how it all goes tomorrow

    Hit the driver a lot better today. Wedges were ok. Very up and down but I'll get there.

    Double crossed a 9 iron out of bounds on the 17th. Triple. Nice.

    Worked on the swing again. Trying to keep the weight on the heels more and that gave me more room and a better rhythm I think. Always after feedback!

    8 iron. Feel the follow through is a little steep

    So had a lesson last week

    Got my setup back to something that resembles a golfer

    I still feel I'm aiming right. The bad shot is a big block.

    I am striking the ball a lot better and the wedges are starting to work. Chipping and pitching are a lot better

    I think I have a bad habit of the ball position moving back in the stance hence the block.

    Time will tell

    Broomstick back in the bag and won't be leaving any time soon!

    Hey M3J looks like you have been spending some time on your action as its looking ok. Its obvious that you are working hard on your golf! Time to either work harder or just settle in to your current game. ~@#$in hard from this point on IMHO! PS You have the gear at some bargains now pay some top dollar on the best coach you can afford!

    You have my problem of not releasing the club soon enough with the driver, causing a beautiful straight right shot. Easy enough fix just takes a few lessons and plenty of practise to get rid of it.

    Trying trying. The aim is where I'm off.

    Getting a routine together to start getting more consistent

    Otherwise the ball is coming off the face really well and the short game is starting to get better

    Hopefully I can bring some good numbers back from the course and lower the handicap again

    What drills did you do to help this?

    How do you release early but not cast or flip?

    That is the trick I am still working on .

    For me it was weakening my right hand grip, and moving my index finger slightly down the grip away from the middle finger like holding a pistol (before this my club was too far into my palm and not in my fingers). This allows my right wrist to come over my left more effectivly. The other thing is practising getting the feeling of releasing the club what feels like half way down on the downswing. This is where the practise comes in for not snap hooking them , still working on it.

    Matt, a couple of things to look at. The club is shut at the top and the hips are closed at address, not a good combination. You will be fighting a hook or a block every time you tee it up. I can't see what you are doing during the backswing to get the club face shut to the left forearm, maybe too much right hand involved instead of flinging the clubhead up and back with the left wrist. With the hips, set them up open at address to the shoulders and somewhat facing towards the target. This will give you a running start to clear the left leg and hip in the through swing. Those photos above show both the left leg and hip to be restricting the hands and arms into the follow through.
    Consciousness and awareness - awareness is being aware of what is happening and being aware of what is happening within ourselves while we are conscious. Where did I leave my glasses?

    Thanks mate

    Really good info and observations

    Will work at it on the range ASAP and hopefully get some video of the swings
