once again, we still talking about me?!!

You, me and a lot of decent golfers. I suspect that anyone who offers information on this subject "knows" the goat.

From a DTL view mark your posterior area and see if it moves towards the base line in transition. Then take a look at Tigers. He is employing "ass back golf", we are not.

Go to the top of your swing . . . take the club down to where your left arm would be parallel to the ground in your downstroke . . . now stand up . . . look at what the shaft does . . . lays down right? Your hands are going to end up being too far away from you if you continue swing "out" from there you have to throw your wrist at the ball because of the adjusted radius . . . all of your vectors are RIGHT (imagine a side hill lie with ball below your feet). So you have to uncock your wrist early to get to the ball and arch it so you don't hit a giant push slice . . . you also have disrupted #3 and are totally dependent on #2 . . . any amount of roll and you stand a chance of getting the snapper too. Two way miss time.

The other option is to swipe a cross it and hit a shrimper . . .

Hips clearing and not going toward the plane line keep the hands and shaft on the intended plane. I know it's a hands controlled pivot but the can compensate for only so much. If your hips are going toward the plane line and not parallel to your delivery line then your right hip CAN'T clear . . . goathumpers hands get out away and up too.

This is very insightful. Bucket you Sir, "knoweth" the goat like no other.

Is this useful to me?

Just a quick update as well. Been playing foursomes recently. Yesterday my partner and I won the Balmoral Members Cup competition. Its a handicap event and we played 4 matches on our way to winning, including giving 8 shots in the final which we won on the 18th green after shooting level par.

Sunday past I was playing in a GUI (Golfing Union of Ireland) event. There were various Ireland team players there but myself and my partner had a useful finish of 6th place. We were just 4 shots off the eventual winners. It is the first time I have ever won a prize in a GUI event.

I'm still hitting a few wayward shots but thanks to everyone on here for all the help they give clearing the fog and letting me see TGM!

:salut:

The results for the scratch foursomes can be found here.

Yes. That's what I'm talking about (Keeping the Right Heel down a little longer).

From there you need to keep pushing your hips forward and keep your right shoulder more down than this dude. I don't think you want your head flying up out of there like that.

Styles,
Interesting video, although not sure this is going to help your issues....
You need some lower body mechanics work and learn how to root the ground better...
Your block is from lower body mechanic issues, everything is spinning left and the club is following suit...

I used to but now rarely hit big hooks.

Here are a few links to swing clips.

Constructive criticism welcome.

I play off 3 and would like to get to scratch.

So I only watched the first video, but the swing looks fine,, I know you might want a more difficult answer to your question but I only have a simple one... Watch the first video again and think of Anika, or Duval... You are right eye dom.. and your head is always looking forawrd. That would be where I would start if it is an occational block..Quicker you look at the target in that swing the more the face opens.
