i am pulling every iron i am hitting. my short game is saving me, but if i can dial in the irons it would really help my score. im hitting my drive straight as well as my woods and wedges. but im pulling all my irons. i usually hit a draw with my irons, but not like this. its just a wicked draw that usually ends up in a leftside bunker. what could i be doing wrong?

thanks

when you step up to the ball, do you think of slicing it?

I hate to slice so I think so bad of hitting it left that I close the clubface and twist my wrists on impact and It ends up wayyy left.

It could be mental too, don't think about pulling it.

no i dont think of slicing it at all. i have never sliced my irons. i have always had a slight draw on my irons. now sometimes i think of not shanking it. but not a lot. i might have the clupface closed. im not sure. i just know in the past month my small accurate draw has become an inaccurate hook.

ive been struggling with this as well. you may be gripping to firmly which is my problem. try to grip the club a little softer and see if that helps.

When I find myself pulling my irons, I focus on my hips and my swing tempo and rhythm. Usually I find that my hands are controlling too much of the shot and not letting the rest of my body work with it. If you are hitting your metals well, then I would suggest trying to imitate the tempo and rhythm of those swings on your irons and get a better feel for it. That's just me but maybe it will work for you too!

Keep turning your body and releasing your hands at the same time.

    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
