Looks like you've been really practicing and taking some of the advice offered from folks on the forums Lucky. Without going too into detail about your swing, what I can tell you is that your flow is much improved. You hit that shot nice and easy and let the club do the work for you. Another thing I liked about the swing was the way you made sure to turn through the shot and face the target on your follow through. That is a really important aspect of the golf swing that I see a lot of golfers not doing. What was the distance to the middle of the green (or wherever you were aiming)?
It's a 360 yards par 4. That shot landed a little bit to the left of the fairway (didn't hook, I was standing a little bit left on the tee box) about 150 yards or so from the tee box. I needed two more strokes to reach the green.

why a 5 iron on a 360yd hole,i can see a 3 iron that you can put out there 200-210 and leave a short iron in,3 wood or driver leaves a s/w or p/w in,a 150yd 5 iron makes the hole brutal,210yd approach shot..unless you were just working on your iron game,anyway your swing looked good.

I am still a beginner. I haven't yet learned to hit drivers or fairway woods. Actually a couple of weeks ago I had problems hitting 5 and 6 irons. I am still developing my game.

I'm kind of still a begginer to golf too, haven't had any lessons. I'm mainly self-taught but the pro-guy at the golf course occasionaly lends a hand by shouting at me.
p.s. Nothing to do with golf but I saw your review of the Monte 2 on cigars-review.com today Lucky, nice work, good review. _________________________________________________

MUCH better!! I'd say you're still "working 'under' the ball" which will make you prone to going left, but in the video, your arms are going around your body and your body is much more still (which is the key), and everything is a lot more relaxed. The less your body moves the better.
Keep up the good work.

Figure that an 8-iron should be about 150; 7-iron about 160; and you should be able to get to a point where a 5-iron will get you 180 - 190 yards...that is, when you're hitting "down" on the ball and allowing the clubface to impart the proper 'launch angle' and let the shaft do the work to get you there.

good luck on your game,like i said your swing looks good,just wait till you played 10-12 years and you think you got it down then it all goes south again..
