That you see from highhdicap. on the course.

Tempo too fast?

Raising their heads on the follow through?

Re: What is the most common problem?

It is usually the fundamental points of grip, posture and tempo. I found if things go wrong with my game and I cannot fix it after 2 to 3 guesses; gong back to the basics does wonders.

Falling onto the back foot, open/closed clubface and poor alignment.

After learning what I learned about swing plane and the problems it causes....biggest problem by far is lack of consistent swing plane.

Re: What is the most common problem?

Poor body alignment from the feet, up through to the shoulders. I see good grips, and decent swings all the time. Poor alignment will miss the target everytime, regardles of those good grips, and swings. GJS

Re: What is the most common problem?

Excellent points, For some reason I forgot how to swing between last year and this spring.

Its scary, I finally slowed my swing down and got back in the grove.

I was swinging too hard in the backswing and looking up before I would hit the ball..

I thought this would be the death of me..I did take a lesson a month ago he kept telling me to slow down , but I didn't get untill now. I have a problem of hitting the ball fat. I can tell I'm also standing up in the swing..
I hope I can continue to build on what I have learned the last 2 days.
Thanks for the help guys.

Id agree with Greg. I also see them trying to hit it in the air by either scooping or hitting off the back foot. The high handicappers who actually hit it alright tend to have poor course management, they go for shots that are not on like threading it through trees or try to smash 3 woods from deep rough thinking they may actually make the green when even the best players would not make it. They try and make par by hitting hero shots then get frustrated when they take doubles and triples. the low handicapper puts the ball back in play and makes bogey or gets up and down for par.
