Greeting from Pensacola, FL!
I've been lurking for a few weeks, decided to go ahead and sign up today. I'll give you an idea of what I've got to work with. I look forward to any suggestions/comments. There seems to be a great deal of experience/knowledge on this board. I'm 5'8 210lbs (stocky, not just fat) with two knee surgeries and a flexibility issue. My major fault is a pretty common one. I hit a lot of fat shots. My swing likes to bottom out near my back foot. I have been playing off and on for 11 years, never seriously. Rather than fix my swing, I just moved the ball way back in my stance and went with it. The result, a really high ball flight and horrible distance. I have started playing regularly now and I'm currently working hard on proper ball position and hitting down on the ball with a proper swing. I also have an outside to in swing path that I'm working to fix. I hope to post a video in the coming weeks and get some feedback from some of you guru's.
Take Care
Mitch
