I joined a golf club last June and have really got into it it’s become a borderline obsession at this stage. My poor girlfriend is now a golf widow and by the looks of it could be one for years to come. I hit a nice high fade with my driver and draw every other club in my bag. I tend to catch the ball clean off the turf never really taking a divot. My irons when they’re off can turn into a really bad draw or hook. Recently I’ve been trying to keep my knees flexed on the backswing and through the strike to keep myself more over the ball but it’s only helped slightly.

 

 

I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year
My current handicap index or average score is: My current handicap is 11 but for my last 12 rounds I’m averaging 78
My typical ball flight is: Fade with driver and draw with every other club 
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Overdrawing to the point where it’s a pull hook


 


Check your grip, to my untrained eye your right hand looks a bit strong, which might cause the overdraw you are talking about. I'm not saying it definitely is but might be worth looking at.

    • Day 233: did a stack session. 
    • Failed to hit “done” on yesterday’s post - so we start over as that’s two missed posts in the last couple of weeks.   Day 1 (9 Mar 25) - Some 50° wedge fun this afternoon in the backyard.  Worked on making smooth swings with good torso rotation - really zeroing in where I wanted the ball to land AND then making sure I watched the ball leave before looking up as the swing finished.  The latter focal point is one that has begun to pay as I’m seeing better green side accuracy - more up and downs made.
    • Just had a club event and played 5 nine hole matches. Shot 39-36-37-35-40. Just a really good weekend of golf even though the last 9 was a struggle to swing the club the last 5 holes. The highlight was a turkey to cap off a match for a tie. 
    • Day 160 - 2025-03-09 Got some work in after a long day. Only about 15 minutes and only about 21 golf balls, but… They were focused on the backswing with a pause, then a decent bit on the downswing.
    • This weekend I knocked off #10...a short 375 yard par 4....hit a hooky 4 wood that found the sand left leaving 165 into the wind. I hit 6 iron to 2 feet and tapped it in. All I have left is a par 3 that has been tricky this year.
