Not too bad.
The most important area to address is your takeaway.
If you watch your face on video, your first move is cocking of your wrists, then the bending of your right elbow. Your first move needs to be your shoulders. You want your shoulders to take the clubhead back along the target line. As you take the club back, when your club is parallel to the ground it should also be parallel to the target line. Try to keep your arms relatively straight, but don't lock your elbows. You should try to get the feeling of 'pushing' your club away with your right arm to create width in your backswing. As we continue the backswing and your club is now travelling past parallel, this is where you can start using your arms to complete the backswing. By the time your arms are parallel to the ground your club should be pointing straight up. Between these two check points is where you should be cocking your wrists. At the top of your backswing, your club should be parallel with the ground and target line again with your left shoulder over your right knee (which you have done micely) and your hands high. A check point at the top of the backswing is the 'waiter position' or the 90* check:
upper arm (bicep/tricep) is 90* to your right side
forearm is 90* to your upper arm
hand is 90* to your forearm

Gord962:
Just wanted to thank you for you the tips on my video.
I will work on the tips that you gave me.
1. Initial swing should start at the shoulders.
2. Club parallel to target line at horizontal.
3. Don't lock elbows.
4. Club straight up when arms parallel to ground.
5. Club pointing to target at top of swing.
6. Waiter position at top of swing as well.
I will post again when I hopefully get all the points down.
Aloha!
