Hi there GolferDot, just going on the fact that your divots are going left, it is more that likely that you are indeed coming over the top! In other words, the club is coming down higher/above the intended swing plane, thus you have a outside to inside swing path, (across the intended target line) through impact with a square clubface on that path! This would also explain why you are not losing any distance...it does sound however that this move is very small in your case and that could be why you are not aware of it! I will try my best to explain in my words how you could try to work on this... an over the top is usually caused by hitting with you right hand, the things that you could focus on is, 1. in your set-up try to relax your right arm, this is to make it less active throughout the swing, 2. the move from the top of your backswing what you should try and feel is, your left hip moving laterally to the target (instead of rotating away from it) and at the same time, your left hand pulling down to start the downswing... This would start the swing down on the same plane and would stop that over the top move... I hope that this helps you a bit! Fugly.

Thanks for explaining this, it had me stumped! But forget about his driving for a while... his iron shots into the greens are awesome!

Hi GolferDot, just a couple of quetions... 1. Does the ball start left of your target and go straight left or 2. I there any shape to the ball, either draw or fade IMHO, the key is clubface at impact( this is mainly controlled by grip) And then swing path trough impact... thus the questions. lest try to figure out witch it is that is causing your problem?

Hi, firstly well done on a pretty good round! In my opinion, like the above replies your GIR stat is definitely low! Like you mentioned, I would definitely say that your driving distance is the main reason why you are missing the greens! Any thoughts on how you could improve your distance off the tee?

Hi there everybody, this is my first post and also very proud to say that I shot 66, 6 under at my home course on Friday last week. The amazing thing was that I had five 3's on the scorecard on the last five holes!!! A first for me ever, one par, three birdies and a eagle on the last! This equals my previous best that I shot at Gary Player Country Club, Home of the Nedbank Challenge!
