I’ve hit the links a dozen times or so, and have really taken a fancy to golfing. My goal is to break 100 in 6 months. However, i am still a beginner. I tend to top the ball, slightly mis-hit, and my swing isn’t too fluid

before i spend the money on professional tutelage, I would like to learn a few swing basics about set up/ swinging in a plane, stop slicing, etc. Basically working from the ground up.

My question is: Are there any sites on the WWW that are devoted to beginner golfers, or that offer tutorials to beginner golfers? Sites with video tutorials? I figure if i get some basics down, it will give me an advantage going into my lessons, saving me money by not using so much of the instructor’s time.

Swing Description:
My swing PLANE isn’t flat or too inside. I’ve took a video of my golf swing and my plane is pretty much straight up and straight down. However, at the top of my swing, my hands somehow get in a flat position. I pretty much take all of my full swings to parallel, even my irons but at the top of my swing, My club does not point parallel to my target.

I think that the point where I am confused at is the mid point section of my swing where my hands cock and the toe of the clubhead points up. Do I just bring it straight up from that wrist cock? That does point my club parallel to my target and I do not get flat but Isn’t that a two-plane swing? I just want to be one plane, straight up – straight down, where my club gets in a good position.

There are so many golf training aids out there. I am 15 years old about 5′9 and 120 pounds. I can only hit my driver about 170-210 and can’t hit my irons very far either. I want to improve my tempo, swing plane and basically anything else. What is the best training aid for me or best solution for me? Thanks

Hi, I haven’t been to a swing launch monitor and I don’t really feel like shelling out $50 to do it. I was just curious though what my swing speed estimate would be. Right now I have a Callaway Big Bertha 460 driver with a regular Aldila shaft. I have been carrying it about 250 on average. If you could give me a reasonable estimate on what my swing speed is that would be great.

I’ve always kind of cycled with my golf swing, especially with my driver. I can only hit my driver straight every so often and I’ve never been able to use a 3 or 4 iron. Does anyone have any suggestions on good books that could help me out with my swing and perhaps all aspects of my game?
