Not really sure how you can see that you are too close or stuck from that angle.  In honesty I would tell you that it looks good but really can't see much.

I just saw my hands right up against my shirt, and it felt a bit close when I hit it. Sorry for the awful angle, I will get some decent DTL and FO tomorrow night.

Wildhogs beautiful swing is on deck...

waaaaaaay too long. Before anything else ya gotta shorten that thing up. Start by getting a kids swim floatie, blow it up and put it just above your right elbow.  Feel like you take it back to chest high and when your arm hits the floatie shut it off. If you slow it down then you should be able to control it.

you don't think he should turn his hips farther back?  (along with the whole not letting the club bounce off his shoulders thing. :D)

i've always thought he manufactured the back end of his swing with his arms b/c he stops his body.

I think he turns plenty.  He just doesn't need the extra arm swing. It feels powerful but is the opposite because he gets out of synch and has to throw all of his lag angle just in order to play. If he were to actually get to the ball with lag he would very likely slice the ball off the planet.

Left wrist has broken down to much, club face appears to have rolled over and the club has swung too far o the left. Try to keep the club more out in front of you, keep the club face up to the sky and hands ahead at impact. All should help

up to the sky meaning the open side is parallel with it?

I was told to keep stance open, slightly open clubface at address, ball at middle of back foot. Something tells me I am starting off wrong.

Yes, Face up to the sky meaning the leading edge is parallel to the sky.

None of what you were told is "wrong". It's just not my preferred way to play those shots anymore. I used that method for years and found that the margin of error for decent contact was razor thin and that I could give myself a chance to have better misses by using the bounce and being less steep.

Really not bad.  Would tell you to get farther from the golf ball.  Ideally the shaft of the club will be perpendicular to your spine at address. From face on...it's too long but it has to be because the wrist set occurs later than ideal.  There is also a small sway load right before you begin taking the club back.  Would focus on turning your left pocket back at the beginning of the swing and setting your wrist sooner.  All in all its pretty good.  I think if you take care of those few things you will see yourself be able to be shorter, less trapped and have more shaft lean.

Well to swing like Ernie u gotta get that backswing much more upright.  At the top of ur backswing your hands should be above your head and the shaft should be above your right shoulder.  Right now the club is behind and below your shoulder at the top.

I played at Thunder Bayou yesterday and worked on increasing my arc, seen some difference in my flight and distance. Had a good round going until I carded an 8 on a par 3, then followed that with a double.

Asking the expert, how do I work on my mental game as well, so I can bounce back and not let emotions get the better of me?

set mini goals

for example:

+2 through 4 holes, +1 on 5&6,  birdie one of 7,8,9.

this works for me pretty well at my home course.

after a bad hole.. on any p4 or p5, ask yourself what club gives you the greatest risk of taking a penalty off the tee. Don't hit that club. even if you have to hit 5 iron off the tee just to guarantee an easy bogey, do it.

Pulled(PP)pork

in my feeble defense, it started as a shank off the tee into neverland, my follow up (#3), I over compensated and hit it left of the green in deep rough.  I was getting pretty preterbed by this time and just said, "eff it". 
I recovered on the back and only missed one fairway, but couldn't seal the deal on many par putts.

sorry pulled...apparently we've hijacked the expert forum and made it into "ask the dooshbags."  :/

I noticed, lol.....I must be kryptonite

I did take your comments and work on some things though, and liked what i seen.  no chilly dips with my wedges and hit some really nice shots with my irons.  the driver I have in a comfort zone right now with my set up, it seems to be repeatable results with a slight fade.

my mental game is a mess, that needs the most help right now.  I let my playing partners get in my head when they are hitting it good.

I usually save the scorecard from the different course I play but wouldn't you know this is one card I seem to have misplaced. Don't quite remember what that hole looked like from the tee.

How'd you play? As far as the game goes, Perez can't hit the ball, so the Rangers are a lost cause.

On the golf course you can only worry about things you can control.  You have to realize that you can't control the past. You can only control the shot you are about to hit and even then, you can't control the outcome, just the process.  If you hit a bad shot you have to realize it doesn't mean your golf swing is broken and in need of repair. It means you hit a bad shot. Everyone has hit them and everyone will hit them again. Regardless of what John Quincy would have us believe, even hogan missed fairways.

You definitely do some things ll but clearly some things to address. Right hip is way to high at address.  Need to get that lower at address by kicking your right knee in and moving your left hip toward the target.  That should eliminate the slide that you begin your swing with.  Next your arms suck in behind you and you lose most of the width in your back swing.  You are going to need to feel your arms working out away from you and your right rm styling much straighter. If you can get your arms back in front of you and on plane you should be able to get more shaft lean and a better p6 position and begin to hit the ball much more consistently.

I noticed that my arms do not say in front of my chest like they should, any tips/drills>

I worked on getting better extension and taking it back more/longer down the line last night.  I was getting a ball impression more out towards the toe, but still in the grooves.  I do have a tendancy to hit the ball in the middle of the face a lot and not in the lower grooves....will your suggestions help with that?

Here is a teaching buddy of mine explaining the setup

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QDa_K3RVKno&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DQDa_K3RVKno


To get the arms more front, feel like your hands are moving away from you at a 45 degree angle and your right arm is staying dead straight all as you turn back. Go slow. That should be enough to get the arms in front of you.
