    One thing is at the top of your backswing your club is full blown cross plane over swinging. Start by getting the club pointing down the line you want to hit at the top of your swing. That will help you hit it straighter so you’re not trying to get that club back on path so much. As for hitting it high, are you hitting it low on the face? Are you catching it on the downswing not the upswing? Lot of potential fixes there.

    Low Bow! Thats what my uncles and dad called me when I first started playing. I said Im Thin who likes to win!

    Heres the good. You have nice tempo and good hand to eye.

    Heres the bad. Youre hitting down on the ball.

    Heres the easy fix. That left shoulder needs to be above your right shoulder when you address the ball and through impact.

    Heres the hard part. Your backswing is a bit too long and youre swaying all over. Learn to hit 70% drives flat footed. Youll be amazed how far the ball goes with what you think is a 3/4 swing. Then work up from there. I keep my left eye on the ball the entire backswing aiming for a specific dimple or number or whatever and swing easy.

    Hope that helps.
