All work and no play makes Rick a bad golfer

Here is my latest swing video.

Rule #1 --- Never let someone older than 45 video tape your swing

Here is what I already know about my swing

1) Short Backswing
2) Strong grip
3) OTT
4) Tippy Toes

This is probably not everything.. So I ask .. Tips, Observations?

Rule #2 --- Don't expect improvement in golf game if all you do is work on your website (even if it is a golf website)

Distance is OK... In fact I routinely outdrive people with my 3-iron when they are using driver.

My problem is that I cannot hit cleanly .. nor consistantly.

And my back hurts after a round of golf.

Do you often take a divot behind the ball? Or loose the ball out to the left?

Yes and Yes.. And I sometimes hit shots that start straight then curve hard right. (I think that's the OTT spin)

I think thats because you have a steep swing and take the club way back on the inside, try taking the club back straighter on your backswing that might reduce the amount of balls that go left.

Yeah that video was taken right after a lesson.. Instructor was working on squaring my shoulders.. And that screwed up my takeaway since I was now in a different position at setup.
