please comment and give tips on my golf swing (video incl.)?

(this is not me, its my boyfriend)

My guess is that your boyfriend is a natural athlete. If I had to guess, his average score would be right around an 85 with such a swing (trust me that is very good and would beat most people–myself included).

Without seeing more of his game, I can see a couple of mistakes he is making from just one clip.

1) His feet are too narrow at address. He should widen his stance to get better balance
2) He takes the club too far back. I would have him shorten his swing for more accuracy off the tee.
3) His left foot spins out of the shot at impact. Tell him to angle his foot slightly towards the target when he addresses the ball. Golf shoes would help some as well.
4) The lateral hip movement towards the right (his right) as he takes the club back, is taking away a lot of his power and ability to consistently make solid contact with the ball. Focus on keeping the lower body ‘quite’ throughout the swing.
5) It appears that too much weight is on his left side at address. Tell him to put more weight (not all his weight) on the right foot.

What I love about his swing:
1) Love his tempo–he does not swing too hard at the ball (a good tempo is very hard to teach for some reason)
2) I love his finish position

Tell your boyfriend that he has talent for the game. My guess he is relatively new to the game but is already showing some early success. Good luck.
