Re-build your game go back to basics
When you are playing a lot of golf yet never seem to improve then you need to go back to basics / fundamentals.
Start with grip and stance, tips and illustrations on how to check the basics. First basics check in front of a mirror. Then time to work on your swing: Do NOT swing hard only 80% of your power. The main elements of your swing must be balance and tempo, rhythm. The number one problem with ALL high handicap players they look up on the down swing KEEN to see where the ball is going, IF you look up for sure it will NOT go where you want it to.
Why? because if you look up before the ball has gone it always changes your swing path, the ball could go any where.
READ our other tips: Pre-shot routine, off the tee, select your target on the fairway, which will determine your club selection and where you place your tee, having selected your club will determine the height of your tee (Ball needs to be level with the sweet spot on club)
Place the ball on the tee, step back and line the logo on the ball up with the spot you are aiming for, visualize the shot in your mind, take a nice easy practice swing which needs to be the precisely the way that you intend to play the actual shot, with that swing in mind both tempo and balance step up to address, ball in line with your left foot, stance the width of your shoulders, correct grip V pointing to your right shoulder, knees flexed weight on the balls of your feet, bend fore from the waist your club should come to rest directly behind the ball ( 32" from your toes).
Take the club back with your left arm pushing low smooth and slow as it pasts your right foot you should have start your upper body turn, make a full turn, KEEP the left arm straight, when the at the top of your back swing the club must not drop it now should be pointing towards the target, start to turn back with your right hip moving upper body and arms turning, pull down with the straight left arm (Left arm in control DO not allow the strength the your right arm to take over) Club returns on the same path as your take away, KEEP your head down eyes firmly fixed on the back of the ball until it disappears, hit through the ball keep your arms fully extended right through impact concentrate on a low follow through in line with the target.
With timing tempo perfect balance your weight should have transferred from right to left, your upper body fully turned weight on the left foot, buckle on your belt facing to the target. Now you can watch the ball fly straight to your target. YES you are right to much to think of and change over night, there is NO magic formal that will transform your game over night, get the basics / mechanics right .
Only correct one fault at a time first, identify the fault then focus on correcting that element of your swing. But club head speed is NOT the answer. Left arm in control with perfect tempo then you will develop the perfect swing natural and smooth.
