Alright this has never happened to me before, why is this happening?

Off the tee I have always came just a little bit over the top so Ive always had a little cut. The cut started on the right side of the fairway and came back to the middle and was controllable by opening and closing the right toe. (Im left handed). Few days ago on the range I decided it was time to work on my draw. I wasent sure of the proper way to play it but I read in a golf digest that you take the club paralell in your back swing with your high hands palm facing right behind you and as you swing your same arm rolls a little closing the clubface producing a draw. I was able to control it off the tee and hit it my normal distance of 250 yards. So everything was going good off the tee. Heres the problem. When I go to hit my cut the ball draws, when I hit my long irons 3,4,5,6,7 which are urually the best part of my game I pull them way off the fairway into the bush. Im pulling everything not drawing. Something is really screwed up. Any idea what has happened here? Whats the proper way to play a cut and a draw with woods and irons. Any help would be fine because ive got 8 rounds in the next 4 days.

A slight cut, huh.

Always keep one thing in mind,

"you can talk to a fade, but a hook just won't listen!"

    • My point was that they were obviously simpatico, enjoyed playing together, and that surely contributed something to their good results. No more than that. 
    • They haven't played as many matches together as people seem to think they have, and when they did, they were some of the top five to ten players in the world at the time.
    • If you are that far out of it, how many stars could you possibly have?
    • There is a lot more match play played in the UK. One of the reasons for that is the different golf model over there. Here in the US, people either play public courses at a dollar cost per round or pay astronomical membership fees to belong to a private club. Even then a lot of the privates still have significant per round costs through caddies/carts. In the UK, most people belong to a club, the cost of which for a year is broadly similar to a month or two worth in the US. When your cost to play the round you're playing is basically $0, it's a lot easier to accept hitting half the shots in alt shot or picking up once you're out of a hole in matchplay. If you've paid $80-100 for the round you're playing, it's a big ask to hit only half the shots. Consequently matchplay is much more common over there and alt shot is also. There are some clubs (Royal St George's and Muirfield for a couple of famous examples), which are basically two ball courses. If four of you want to play there you have no choice but to play foursomes. Can you imagine that being accepted in the US?
    • The NBA is trying to prevent tanking to get better draft picks.  https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/48763248/adam-silver-says-nba-present-3-2-1-lottery-proposal-curb-tanking The concept is that the bottom 3 teams would have worse odds than teams 4 through 10, who would have equal odds. In addition, they could be penalized by having their draft position moved and also monetary fines for tanking.  My concerns are the following. If you are out of it, it would be detrimental to have your stars injured and not develop younger players. Which would naturally cause more loses.
