Best Answer – Chosen by Voters as completely difficult and complex as it is to play golf, it really comes down to two things — Swing plane and club head position at impact…Everything else is just steps to learn how to control these two variables. Except for putting (i think i have dyslexia when it comes to reading greens)

Hi thereAs you have mentioned that most of your shots goes to the right, from which we can tell that there is something that you might be doing wrong.Check the following before you hit a driver:Make sure your shoulders and your feet is lining up towards the target (don’t aim left and let the ball slice back to the fairway, this is correcting a mistake with another mistake)Make sure your right hand is not too open when you are addressing the ball, you should see 2 knuckles from your right hand and one knuckle from your left hand.Make sure your swing don’t come from outside in, it must be inside out, picture yourself hitting towards the right side of the target on your downswingMake sure you turn your right hand over toward your target on your downswingand Make sure on your up swing you don’t put your most weight on your left foot, but on your right foot, and down swing shift your weight from right back on to left foot.Remember, right hand is there to control the club head, (especially doing the turning on the downswing), but left hand is the power handIron swing is more compact, same principal as the driver, only that on your back swing, try keep your right elbow as close to your body as possible and turn your shoulders, you don't want to extend your back swing too much when hitting irons, because what you need is good ball striking and consistency, distance is not so important, you will get enough distance if you hit the ball clean.point of acceleration is very important too, lots of people tends to start accelerating at the peak of their back swing, where in fact you should accelerate right before you hit the ball,can you picture that? its like a whipping motion, you only start to exert force right at the bottom of your downswing. not at the top of your back swing.

There are two things which affect the direction a golf ball will go after being struck :1. Swing Path ( optimal path is inside to square to inside )2. Clubface Angle at Impact ( optimal angles for previously stated path would be slightly open to square at impact to closing on follow through )Using these paths and angles will reveal to you what caused any of the 9 possible shots that can occur.

The easiest way to explain this is whatever way your clubface is pointing at impact is the way the ball will go. Since your shots are going to the right, your clubface is pointing to the right or is open(golf terminology). For your shots to go straight, your clubface has to be facing toward the target you choose at impact. This is called a square clubface. The easiest way to explain to square your clubface is to mimick skipping a rock across the water. The motion of your downswing is a similar to skipping a rock across the water.

Well, a big question would be, do they make a heavy arc to the left, or do they go in a straight line, but to the left. If it is the latter, you might just have an aiming problem. That would be easier to fix than if it were the former, a slice (assuming you are right handed), which could be due to a wide variety of reasons. If you are serious about fixing it, then reading a bunch of opinions online won't do much. Get a few one-hour lessons from a pro, and let them check your swing and make a few adjustments. Its the only real way to help your game properly.

you're probably slicing. a quick fix might be on your back swing swing the club around your body more; as opposed to up (with your arms by your head). obviously dont overcorrect or you'll hook the ball. as well as this check easy fixes like lining your feet up and the grip. ultimately a lesson will help the most

There are many potential reasons for this, and no one can accurately give you an answer without looking at your grip, stance, and swing, so better that next time you visit the range you book a few lessons with the local PGA professional.

the clubface is open upon impact. that's the problem.
2.2.2010
club face is open at impact, try closing it more on your downswing

All of these people are trying to tell you what to do step by step, But i know what you are doing wrong. I have had the same problem and just recently figured out what is wrong:Okay.1st. When you line up the ball, make sure your body is facing the target.2nd. When you are swinging, make sure both of your elbows against your body. Let me explain. When you swing, most golfers think that you need to use your arm strength to swing the ball. Wrong. It's all in your big muscles. Your big muscles are your thighs, hips, and all the other muscles in that region. They are much stronger than your arms! Okay, when you swing, try to swing the golf club more around then up in the air. Sort of like a baseball bat. Make sure your elbow is against your body when you swing. Use your big muscles to move the club in your hand, around. When you do this, you will feel the right side of your right thigh being stretched. That's good! Use your thighs to move your body around to swing the ball. Sorry if this isn't making much sense, it is hard to tell you this without showing you.TRY THIS: Go to any grass area with the club of your choice. Try a 5 iron. Now, put either a small towel or a t-shirt under your two armpits so it goes across your chest and wraps around your back (it doesn't have to go all the way around your back). Now, hold the towel or t-shirt across your chest with your arms against your body. Then, line up the club and take a swing with the towel or t-shirt still across your chest and your arms holding it there. If the towel falls out then you know you lifted up your elbow when you swung. Try swinging and keeping the towel or t-shirt in the same place. When you do that with a full swing, your big muscles will automatically turn your body and you will automatically have your club come around rather than in the air. This will solve your problem because your arms are in the same place the whole time. When you swing with your arms you try to kill the ball to make it go far because you're strong and you can hit it really far. But, when you do that you end up opening your club up to make the ball go right and never straight. Don't try to help the club hit the ball. Just give it the natural swing i told you how to do, and the ball will go how the club is supposed to make the ball go. It's an easy game, you just have to do it right. 3rd. Don't look up! When you swing, you are excited to see how well you hit the ball, and you look up before you even hit the ball. Keep your eye on the ball! When you look up, you lean back. You started the club lined up to the ball, and when you pull back to look up, the ball hits the end of the club, and it goes right. There is an old saying. A golfer can only look up fast enough to see a bad shot. So don't look up! Lastly, make sure you don't lean back. When you pull out your driver, you know you're going to bomb it down the fairway, so you try to kill the ball, so it goes FLYING. Well, you shouldn't. When you try to kill the ball, you end up using your arms to swing which lifts up your elbow, and you lean back to make way for your arms to hit the ball HARD. Well, once again, you lean back. And when you lean back, you hit the end of the club which makes it go right. Oh and you also lifted your elbow, so that's double trouble. Don't try to help the ball! Remember those four things and you will be swinging straight and solid every time.The swing goes for ALL clubs! Good Luck on the Course!:)
