Thanks again Jeff, I'm 16 and have only been playing about a year what should I be doing when I go over to america in terms of coaching etc.

Just take it easy, seriously. Enjoy yourself, play relaxed and centered, and do what you know how to do.

Seems a very nice swing but, like Jeff said, you get a little lazy at the end. Maybe you could also get a little bend in the knees, it seems as if you're upright during the swing. I'd love to see more swings like that!

A tip:

I've got some pretty shoddy knees(catcher in baseball and multiple motorcycle crashes), so I forget to bend them.

Now as part of my set up, I bend them too much, and then raise up to comfortable, that way I always know they are at least somewhat bent. This also allows a better weight shift and transfer on downsing with the knees.

You mean putt like my old buddy here? Wautoma High School. Class of 1965.

I expect EG will be along soon to post his critique. All comments are appriciated.

Alright. Looks to me like you swing quite a bit from the inside and holde the face open as you swing out to the right of the target. Might be the camera angle. Might be my eyes.

Thanks Jeff this is now part of my pre shot routine.

Any other comments R35 and the Irish lads I'm looking at you because I know your skilled golfers + surely WBL should be able to reccomend atleast 4 drivers for me.
