I have been hitting the driver well lately distance wise. I am, however, hitting everything left. Not just a draw, but a pretty sizable hook. What exactly could be going wrong. This doesnt happen with my long irons. Any suggestions?

Are you also occasionally hitting a bit thin ??

Only reason I ask is I suffered from pull hooks a short while ago and found my ball position had moved too far forward in my stance. But I also suffered from the occasional thin shot.

Is it a pull hook, or just a big bending hook that starts out to the right?

it is a pretty good pull hook. i have a pretty strong grip and i want the ball to draw so i dont want to jerk with my grip too much. but i can aim 20 yards right of the fairway and miss it left.

Thanks for the resposes guys i will check my ball position and see if that helps.

I pull hook my drive when I don't finish my back swing or stand too close to the ball.

I try to stand further away and watch my take away and sometimes take it outside the target line to compensate for my hook.

Have you tried playing a fade so that you can learn to control the ball both ways?

I play the fade by slightly opening the club face and stand slightly further away from the ball and take the club outside the target line on my backswing. I have notice my fade ball actually feel better swing wise than my draw swing.

I use my fade shot with my driver off the fairway also and it works really well, the only difference is that I will pick the club right up on my outside swing and I aim left of where I want the ball to end up and open the club face more than usual.

      Have You Played Where a PGA, Champions, or LPGA Event Has Been Played?

      In March of 1978 I got to play Pebble Beach GC. Played it from the back tees, since I knew I'd probably never play it again. Oops, shot 102.  Three weeks later, I played Torrey Pines - South, again from the back tees (maybe 6,700 yds in those days). Shot an 87, and missed a birdie putt on the lakeside No. 18 green. In 2021, I played TPC Deere Run in the Quad Cities area. This is site of the John Deere Classic. It was early October and the course was undergoing renovation, so I got to play the front nine twice for $110, lunch included. The course was great and the driving range was unbelievable. Hint: you need to pay attention to the wind drafts before you try to challenge the cross bunkers! BTW, Deere Run is a public course. Norwood Hills Country Club is site of the Champions tour event, the Ascension Charity Classic, now the Stifel Charity Classic. This classic layout has 36 holes.This summer I hope to play the West course where the Champions event is held; Missouri Golf Association is sponsoring an amateur event there.  I have played the shorter East course three times - it's quirky but quite fun. Also: Circa 2000 I played il Picciolo, a course at the base of Mount Etna in Sicily. The volcano was spewing ash that week. The course frequently hosts European pro events. Lots of elevation change and gently rippling fairways. Left a 7i shot 10 yards short of green on one par 5. Turns out the hole had a 12-foot high alpine flagstick, and I was not as close to the green as I thought I was (bad perspective).

      Just the Plantation course at Kapalua. Not like I didn't know it, but it was a visceral reminder of how ridiculously good the tour pros are. That course is f***ing *hard* playing it from ~6500 yards. From the tips!? Then if there's wind?!

      How far back are we talking? Like I've played Inwood on Long Island and that held a US Open back in the day (nearly 100 years ago now). Courses that have held big events recently: Shinnecock Hills Merion Bethpage Black Winged Foot West Kiawah Island Ocean TPC Sawgrass Walton Heath Old Royal St Georges Royal Liverpool The Old Course Turnberry Muirfield Kingsbarns Royal Porthcawl Phoenix Country Club A few others that have held European Tour events relatively recently, and then these ones that held big events a long time ago: Royal Cinque Ports Prestwick Princes Inwood

      I get he thinks he can compete, but it's time to enjoy retirement. Get involved in golf in other ways. Go design hundreds of new courses. Expand the game. Maybe tee it up at the Majors from time to time. Yea, it is over.

      Firestone North (I think it was the world series of golf at the time, but it was held on the North course one year due to maintenance needed on the South Course.) Firestone South (Bridgestone Inv) TPC Sawgrass (The Players Championship) Pine Needles (U.S. Women's Open) There might be some other ones I am not aware of, but these are ones off the top of my head.  I am probably scratching off Whistling Straights and Erin Hills later this year 😁
