As I wander through everything golf I am reminded that I am 65 years old and only now getting serious about playing golf. I believe my main issue is not keeping my arm straight and coming back too far. When I do, I know my left arm starts to bend the higher I go back in the swing, and then I try to straighten it up on the way down. I have this desire to kill the ball and I think I have to go way back with the club. I have realized that I may have limited mobility and don't want to face it so I go farther with the club than I should.
Sometimes I hit the ball so darn good, straight and far I know if I do this all the time I can compete and bring that score down. Yet I think I still try to kill it thinking that's the answer. Just want to be consistent.
