I have a natural baby draw with all my shots (driver, woods, and irons).  When I don't shift my weight to the left side (I am right handed) on the downswing (i.e., stay too far back), it turns into a hook.

For me at least, hook is result of not shifting the weight and staying too far behind on the downswing resulting in the club face coming around too quick.

This is from another round, but we can focus on this round. My putting is bad because of speed control. I either hit the ball too light or too fast. I also don't know how to read greens.

In my case, the snap hook comes when I stop turning my body early on (i.e. not a fully committed swing), with not enough of a hip slide, i.e. hanging back: the arms take over and the ball starts a little left and goes much further left (righty here), instead of starting a bit right and drawing back gently to the left.

This for me too.  

I tend to do this when hitting less than full clubs, usually on par 3s, usually into a strong wind.  Ex., a 6-iron at about 65% to keep spin and height down.
