I am wondering about the left arm mine seems too relaxed and does bend in the backswing.If I firm it up I feel tight and have a shorter backswing.Is this something I should work on or not worry about it?I have a 12 handicap on a very tough course with lots of water and traps with a slope of 142.I just want to become more consistent and just maybe a firmer left arm will help.

You don't need a straight left arm, just a stretched one. Use your right arm to 'tug' your left hand away from your left shoulder.

Let me know how you do....and welcome to the best golf forum on the net!
