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.

    • I've been putting whilst looking at the hole and it's definitely helped my distance control
    • I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers 
    • is it though?????? "Millions of fans"?????
    • Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.
    • So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon
