My game is really starting to come together lately and if I could just straighten out my woods and driver I'd be perfect.

I have a nice little draw with my irons at the moment but I can't seem to repeat with the woods/driver.

I usually have a gigantic fade. Sometimes I can play it, but most of the time it will trickle way out of the fairway right.

Do ya'll have any tips or anything for me to practice?

Typically when you swing a driver, and if you are hitting up you will have the ball more forward. This shifts the swing path to slightly inward because the club goes from in to out to out to in (on an arc). If you are hitting a draw with the irons it is because the ball is being struck first with a descending blow, and the ball is on the in to out part of the swing path.

Also hitting a fade with a driver isn't a bad thing.

This is awesome. Thank you so much.

And yeah I like hitting a fade with driver, it's just fades too far for me to control right now. Always running off into the rough even the I'm aiming way down the left side of the fairway. I just feel like maybe if I learn how to play a draw then I can go back to the fade and it will be a little more straightened out.

If you are aiming left, make sure you are aiming left with out opening up your body to the left. Its a subtle thing, this way you are not causing the swing path to be more left (more curve).

Yeah I actually aim left in a slight draw position because I know if I open up.....I'm fading OB lol.

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
