how's my positioning?

just wondering peoples thoughts on this. I am hitting 5-iron, hit is quite solid, slight draw.

i'm not an expert. the only thing i notice is your upper body is leaning forward a lot. more than i'm used to seeing: http://forums.iseekgolf.com/images/tigerwoods_swing.jpg sorry to compare your swing to Tiger's.

everything else looks good.

Im no expert either but the only thing that stands out to me is that shaft is not aligned with the plane of your arm.

My thoughts are: I wish I'd hit a slight draw on that very hole last month. Then that tree along the right wouldn't have been in play for my 2nd. (doubled it)

Just a couple things I notice:

-Club looks like its set pretty well!
-It is however on a very steep plane
-Head posistion is tilted alot towards the targe? Can't really tell from that pic
-Upper body could use a little more rotation on the back swing
-Right elbow need to be tighter to the body

You get that elbow in more and a flatter swing plane you'll really be hitting it!

Echo calleygolfs comments. For many golfers your top of the backswing position COULD easily lead to an over the top downswing and inconsistent results. However, what is great is that your left hand is FLAT at the top, a position that if held through impact, can more than make up for other less than ideal positions. Don't ever change that position.

This is off topic just a bit, but what golf course is that?

Oyster Bay Golf Course just north of Myrtle Beach. Hole #13

Looks like a pretty sick hole.

Looks like a pretty sick hole.

the tee shot is straight forward, the approach is killer. Behind the hole they have built a concrete wall that drops off into the marsh. The green is elevated, surrounded by bunkers, with no bail out. Fun, fun!
