Ok here's my swing video again that I posted on the weekend... My question would be, what's the simplest thing I could do or change to make it more consistent? Or just better.
Thanks for this.
I'd stick my dodgy swing up on here if it wasn't for the fact I'm wearing ropey slippers & tracksuit bottoms!

What is the best drill to increase shoulder turn for a senior golfer lacking In flexibility. Following on because of lack of shoulder turn, distance is reduced along with ‘coming over the top’.
What is the solution please?

Yeah 17th i think, probably ended up somewhere in the 18th
Second one was 15th, pretty sure it found the green, didnt make the eagle putt though

Monty tells us that trying to 'find your game' immediately prior to going out for a round is a complete waste of time. He reckons we should just hit a couple of balls with a few clubs (or all of them) to warm up. Forget the idea of getting into the groove as you'll not find it if it isn't already there. Is he right?

OK, you have an 'all arms' golf swing, with very little turn.
But.....
You waggle up and down, when it should be back and forwards, Duffner style.

Would you coach a one plane, or two plane swing to different people, and if so, why, and how do you make the decision?

Yep, its something I've been working on since I did those vids last year.
I said you could criticise my swing, I didn't say anything about my waggle! Actually that could be the next HNSP thread, what is the correct way to waggle, and do you need to be custom fitted?

Hi Chris
For me the quickest way is to sharpen up your short game. Start by working on your putting , especially the holing out skills so setting up 4 tees around the hole with an uphill , a downhill, a right to left and a left to right putt and get to the point you can hole say 10 out of 12 and you are just 2 shy of Tour standard ! Move onto chipping and pitching and book a lesson with your local Professional to ensure your technique is on point .

Hi James ,
The stats say around 75 % of golfers are right eye dominant and often the challenge is that the player can twist the stance open to allow the eye to see the target. For me a key bit of kit is a putting mirror and then you can work on getting your eyes level at address . For left eye dominant like Tiger for instance keeping the eyes level is probably easier. Generally I have found players evolve a stroke and clearly some are more of an arc whereas some favour a more straight back straight through look. My suggestion is look at face balanced putters first when choosing as I always think they have less margin for error , however there is trial and error in this part of the game !
