Hi all,
I haven't been a member for very long and I thought it is about time to introduce myself. I have played golf for about 30 years (says something about my age, doesn't it?
) and have played to a 12 handicap for many of those years. Recently, however, I have steadily gone out and currently play to 16. Got frustrated with this and am now taking a series of golf lessons from a local pro (Adelaide, Australia) which included a video of my swing (shock horror). I have been taking the club too far on the inside on the backswing, a common fault apparently. This problem, I have learned, makes it impossible to sqaure the clubface at impact using a proper downswing movement by shifting to the left and then turning. Without realising it, I have learned over time to reduce the weight shift and come over the top to get the clubface (almost) square at inmpact. I am now working hard to virtually rebuild my swing from scratch, trying to stay on plane, not cupping my left wrist (another fault!), properly transferring weight, turning and then rolling the wrists to square the clubface. Needless to say, I find it very hard and it hasn't done much for my game. However, I am dertermined to stay with it and hope to have a better looking and more effective swing in due course.
I am interested if anyone else is going through the pain of rebuilding their swing and would love to hear from you.
