I never had this problem until I started taking lessons.. It's quite destructive. I've scored worse last 6 weeks because of it. I know what causes it but I can't seem to get my lower body working right I believe. What drills can I do without a club, without the ball, whatever. I've just got to get this over the top move gone. I've been working my butt off and today I ran out and shot a 97 with probably 12 penalty strokes because of it

Go out to the range lay a club down outside of the golf ball and pretend ur aiming it to like the 2nd baseman in a baseball game and try to make your clubhead path follow it

ok... address the ball with your driver in a straight left arm, taking care to keep your left arm straight throughout the whole swing(most important). when you come back with your club, and in your backswing, flatten out your forehand on your left hand so that it's pretty much parallel to the ground and your clubface, in other words, directly horizontal. this is an exaggeration, but you can experiment with a few shots like this, then make your hand a little more vertical, until you reach your perfect spot. also, practice trying to pull your hands back behind your body when you hit. this of course, is an exaggeration as well. but you can find a medium with both until you're hitting it well again.

First of all make sure you have a nuetral grip. I had a instructor look at my grip and to my suprise it was a little strong with my right hand. Ok now you can see the the first 2 knuckles on left and right hand. If this doesn't work, try this "feel". When you begin your downswing, actually all the way through to impact, get the feel that your leading the club down the swing path with the hosle or the back of the club, your club face will square at impact and you will smash the ball. You might push a couple right(not slice)at first but I guarantee it will work.- Steve

    • Wow, largest ever 36-hole lead at the Masters. Seems good. I don't really have much to add, but I'm having a great time nursing a cold by watching this tournament.  I doubt Rory fumbles this one, but you never know. As a fan, I hope he can close this out with two rounds to go.  I saw a funny comment somewhere where someone said Bryson should try to 3D print himself a green jacket. 
    • Day 234 4-10 Blending hip/chest rotation backswing work and wrist arch in downswing. Pause at the top and slower swing. Recorded and hit foam balls.
    • Day 2, April 10 2026.  After watching today's excellent Masters broadcast, I have hit 18 balls, one at a time, each after doing the pelvis limiting drill.  
    • Day 33 (10 Apr 26) - Played in the club Friday shootout with a slight twist as the course was setup for tomorrow’s local “Masters” one day tournament.  The pins were in some slippery places and the greens firm and bouncy.  Overall made for staying the process all the more important especially on the greens. 
    • Rory up by six - makes me wonder if the powers that be will adjust Augusta’s moving day setup to be uber tough or uber getable to get a few closer.
