On the backswing I tend to want to close the club face and pull it way right... Even when I don't move the club in my hands I will still pull it left and hook it. Is there anything to resist the urge and hit a nice straight drive? Some things that kind of work is taking it back "flatter." Any suggestions appreciated.

Try to make sure your grip isnt too strong first of all. A simple grip change can cure a hook (by making your grip weaker). Also, try to open the club face in your backswing and practice releasing the club a little bit later.

Resist the urge to "hit" the ball and learn to swing the club. The ball is still there (hasn't moved) and the club will swing into it. This is the best book I've found for eliminating the urge to "hit the ball."

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.

      Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
