[12 piece bucket]

I have a great short game, much better than your average 8 handicap, I can absolutely putt with the best of them. So you can hit it around the course and make a lot of pars with that ability. The problem is I dont make enough birdies and don't have holes where one crooked shot just blows things up.

For example. 590 yard par 5, hit a 250 yard drive, a 190 yard 4 iron. SO I have 150 up hill into the wind left, I hit a 7 iron. It starts out a bit left of the target and hooks hard, so hard I hit a hill left of the green and then bounces across the cart path and into lose landscape rock, it leads to a double bogey. I have holes like this all the time, it was hole 7, was 3 over at the time. A birdie on the par 5 and its looking like a great round. I have to many holes like that. Next hole was a 460 yard par 4, hit a 270 yard drive and had 190 up the hill, hit a 5 iron to 20 feet. Just no consistency to get down to a low handicap.

I have always been able to hit it ok, any method, any style, but to get good the last couple years has been much much harder. Its not a lack of effort, thats for sure.

Ain't seen it but . . . that sounds like goat humping to me . . . that's the kinda resluts I get when I hump the goat. The shaft gets sooooo far behind you that you CAN'T get the face open enough not to hit a hook. there's so much side spin that the ball just goes HARD left.

Where do you hands/club appear on the thru side down the line in video? Do they come out at or below your shoulder? Or above it like thru the neck or ear? Do you hit pushes some too?

The long term solution . . . fix your pivot. A quick fix to actually play could be to aim left and hit pushes like couples or lee buck for a while. But long term sounds like a pivot deal.
