You are definitely getting better buddy. Try not to force the path of the club and that what causes you to come over the top. Try to let the club do more of the work. I have fixed this by striking the ball by using the bottom to top sequence it sets the path of the club automatically. You need to switch your striking sequence from top to bottom to bottom to top. This will shallow the club, get the club in the plane and square the face automatically
I'm really enjoying watching your progression! Always root for you when you hit a good shot, and throw my head back when a putt lips out. Wondering what it is that you think has helped improve your game most? Mechanics, course management, mindset, or just feeling generally more comfortable hitting different shots?
Thanks Matt really appreciate it, lip-out are cruel and should be banned 🫣 As for my game, I reckon the most important thing for me was mindset to appreciate that I'm a high-handicap golfer, and I'm going to hit rubbish shots, and not to allow those bad shots to affect the rest of my game.👍🏻🏌🏻♂️
@@itsjustgolf Can totally see that in your game. You seem great at forgetting, and moving onto the next shot; something that every golfer (nomatter the level) needs to practice.
Well I said you'll be in the 90s in no time from 10 months ago, and here you are, lol 😂 You're still holding the clubs too far out, and swinging outside-in and causing that slice. Hold your hands closer to your knees mate. Your short iron and wedge stance are spot on... just mimic it for the long sticks and back up a little to give you the room to swing. It feels unnatural, but that's the 45⁰ plane you want... For your driver, you need to flex your left forearm more and really hold it taut during the entire swing. You will feel like you are losing rotation, but I promise you will make better contact, and you can build on it from there. It should feel like you're holding a heavy weight in your hand... really flex it, and use a strong grip and keep the face closed throughout the whole swing. You're making huge progress in one year. Keep at it. Edit: @11:38 is a great example of you coming up and out on a drive. Show that clip to any club pro and he'll fix you in like 2 lessons tops. It's a perfect visual example.
Thanks for all the feedback buddy. I'm seeing Craig the Pro at Oxley Golf Club next week and will go through this with him. Really appreciate all the advice and feedback, here's to the next 12 months and consistently breaking 90👍🏻🏌🏻♂️
@@itsjustgolf love to hear it. Your wedge game isn't bad... get that driver sorted and you'll be bogey golfing by next year. I'll catch you on the next video. - from the north...
@@itsjustgolf tell him I told you to sit the f*k down on your driver and see what he says. You have a super consistent swing, you just have to learn to use it. You are way too vertical and it causes you to swing out to in... He'll sort you out...
Most enjoyable golfing, i can relate to your game as im 3-month in and learning all the time, i would take 28 any time at the moment. Would love to play against you or do a “Texas Scramble”… Thank you for uploading your video. 😊
@@itsjustgolf Im up in Falkirk “Golf Mate”, I started off playing alone, member of Grangemouth Golf Club. Just back from Las Americas Golf Club, we went out in groups there. It was amazing. I’m planning lots of golf trips this year at home and abroad, so yes keep uploading and someday soon I will visit down your way.
That sounds amazing will, congratulations. Buddy, isn't golf a fantastic sport? No matter what your skill level, everyone can still enjoy the game high or low handicaps. Last year, I went to lanzarote with my cousins And recorded the courses on the channel. If you fancy having a look or if you wanted to go out there, let me know as my cousin owns the villa 👍🏻🏌♂️
Well done for breaking the ton mate! (just lol) It might be the camera angle but you look like your feet are aiming well right causing you to block the shot causing a slice. Totally agree with slowing your swing down and not trying to leather the ball. I think of it more like 3/4 power rather than 3/4 swing but its the same swing thought. Another tip to help stop you slicing is turn your back to face the hole on your backswing. ie turn the shoulders more so your back is facing the target it makes it harder to come over the top. It helped me. Good luck buddy, I really enjoy your vids 👍 ⛳️🏌♂️
Buy the skin of my teeth tim😉 Now I think your right buddy my alignment was off. is when I'm trying to concentrate on fixing one thing. I completely forget about everything elyes🤦 But when I get home, I am going to put my alignment sticks in the bag to have for the next video. Watch out, I'll be arrow straight and smashing it a country mile.🙃👍🏻🏌♂️
I play to a similar standard and working on the feel of keeping my back to target longer during the downswing has helped me slow down the upper body rotation that causes over the top and right spin by cutting across the ball. My irons have much improved and my slice is more acceptable.
Hi Alastair, welcome to the channel👍 I have tried numerous things to try and get rid of the over the top swing. After having lessons and playing golf, it always comes back🫣 But now winter is finally coming. And with the rain and cold weather. I'll be indoors with Craig. The pro at oxley and try to fix it 👍🏌♂️
Thanks rob really appreciate it 👍🏻 On the way to the golf course. I always tell myself. Do not use the driver on the 1st. And then I set everything up. Got the camera going a walk to the bag. And guess what club comes out🤦 the worst club for the hole🤣🙃 Next time I'm out on the course. I think i'm going to leave the driver in the garage as it does more harm than good 👍🏻 🏌♂️
It's definitely improving, pal. Trying to stop whacking it is defintely key, take that extra club like someone said, then you aren't trying to force it. I definitely think your aim is causing some of the over the top though. hole is I, you aim /, you swing \ to compensate. Have a look at where your feet are pointing on the 12th tee !
Just keep going, getting better all the time and we appreciate you sharing the journey. interesting that when you're playing a casual round without caring about the score, you manage to get a good score. Also don't overlook the fact that you are playing a really tight course with those narrow fairways and big trees. plenty of courses out there you'd get away with a lot more.
Great video, and good to see normal golfers play, because thats most of us. A non golfing bit of advice. When I watch it back the sound from the external mic is out of sync with the video. If you do a hand clap in front of the camera with the mic on then the noise on the sound file is easy to sync up to the video. Good luck with the editing it must take forever.
Thanks buddy, really appreciate it. I'll give it a try next time I'm out👍 If you have any more editing advice, please share as it is the biggest thing that I struggle with👍🏻🏌🏻♂️
I think your editing is not too bad. It sounds like you are using a mic that you get a bunch of interference when you move. I would suggest a wireless type. Peter Santenello make some quality content and he uses the DJI version. The thing I would suggest is you personalise the content by doing some more pieces to camera as you do your round. Probably take you a bunch longer but I think people warm to the personalities of people as much as the golf content.
On the golf game I think your short game and putting are pretty reasonable. Just spend a bit of time watching your swing on the video. It looks to me like you should work on the timing of your swing. You look like you are initiating with your arms so you don't rotate enough by the time you strike the ball and a lot of the rotation is after the ball. This apparently is one of the reasons people come out to in and have too steep a swing plane which is the very thing which gives you that slice. Good luck it is a lifelong challenge.
I've just subscribed to his channel 👍🏻 Sound has always been one of my biggest problems 🤦 But I'll get there buddy I keep telling myself Rome wasn't built in a day🫣👍🏻🏌♂️

Well done for filming every shot. from someone who has done that, it's not easy. Especially for high handicapper. All the best for next year
Thanks, Carl. really appreciate it, buddy 👍🏻🏌♂️
@@itsjustgolf you’re welcome. I’m binge watching a few of your videos now.
Great watch buddy. Plenty of potental there, especially when you swing slower. Under clubbing and leaving putts short cost you a bit 👍
Thanks David 👍🏻 🏌♂️

Another great round, for me hole 1 doesn't look like a driver hole, try your trusty 5iron and treat it like a short par 5 for an easy bogey
Thanks rob really appreciate it 👍🏻
On the way to the golf course. I always tell myself. Do not use the driver on the 1st. And then I set everything up. Got the camera going a walk to the bag. And guess what club comes out🤦 the worst club for the hole🤣🙃 Next time I'm out on the course. I think i'm going to leave the driver in the garage as it does more harm than good 👍🏻 🏌♂️
Well played, the gap on that second hole is ridiculous 😆
That's why i kept it low🤦🤣🤣
Thanks buddy 👍🏌♂️
Well done Rich… looking forward to your break 90 soon 🤪
