I just got done playing 9 today and I'm very unhappy with the results. (I had 21 putts, but that's another story.) What I'm most unhappy about is that I push+fade most of my irons. Yesterday, it happened once every 5-6 holes or so, which I'm completely fine with. But today, it was on every iron shot. I can't figure out what's the difference between today and yesterday in terms of my release. I was coming a little bit inside on my takeaway and slightly over the top on my downswing for most of the round today, but I was not releasing. I also hit my driver and 3 wood off the tee very well today (straight to slight draw). Why are my irons so different?

Any one have the same problem or know how to fix it? Thanks.

Just a thought...... but make sure you are not to steep with the irons. It could be the reason that the driver is OK because it is a flatter swing.

Try a more rounded swing with like a 6 iron and see if it starts to draw a little.

Also inside to out downswing will help to turn the ball over.


Good Luck!

Remember that if the ball curves to the right relative to the path that it was swung on.....the club face was open.

Example: an over the top move out to in with the face closed you will get a pull hook. With the face square just a pull, and with the face open a pull slice!

Ball flight is essential. Which way the ball starts tell you where you swung and where the ball stops is where your clubface was aimed.

I fight a push/slice on occasion, usually with the longer clubs, and I think the cause is usually that I'm sliding my hips too much and not staying behind the ball. If I focus on "turn back/turn through," it usually straightens itself out. YMMV.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

      Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course.
