Your right arm and your wrist position at the top. 
 

Your right arm collapses at the top of you swing. It should not bend more than 90*.

Your wrist is cupped a great deal at the top. This indicates a very open club face.

Did you go? How was the game? Did you have fun?

Sorry for jumping into the discussion a bit late (I assume your impending game has already occurred), but I do like to give these things a stab from time to time. Please recognize that I am merely an enthusiastic middle-aged man with an abiding love for the golf swing (al la Brian Fellows), and not a licensed teaching professional. 😀

 

In any event, what I see here is an armsy swing with little shoulder rotation. Your takeaway looks pretty good for the first foot or two, and then the shoulders stop turning and the arms take over. 

 

That's what causes your hands to be so low and your arms so far across your chest at the top of your swing. From that position, you have  no room to swing the club and your body has to "come out of the swing" to make that room.

 

This isn't necessarily something one fixes overnight and I'm not necessarily the one to tell you how to go about it, but look at the photo below, and compare the positions of the shoulders, arms, and hands to where you are at the top of your backswing:

 

Notice how much higher A. Scott's hand are? Notice how much further he has turned his shoulders? Those two things go hand in hand. And, they help to create the space you need to swing the club properly - and not "come out of your swing."

 

Good luck on your journey my friend. I once had a swing eerily similar to your own. Through knowledge and effort, it can be improved. Believe me.
