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

    • Day 305 - Grip and backswing work. Full swings were bothering the hip a bit. 
    • Day 56 - 2024-11-15 Light day. Lots of catch-up work. Checked the grip to make sure I wasn't compensating there, and did a little backswing work.
    • Day 197 (15 Nov 24) - Played in the Friday men’s group outing - blustery conditions in play (wind gusting 10-20; spotty pop up misting rain; temps in the mid 50’s), so it was a good day to work on course management.  Solid round of 83 (41/42) - 7 GIR, total 32 putts - included 10 pars (3 being up and downs), a dbl and triple bogie.  
    • Have been on a mid to low 80’s roll of late - today was no different with an 83 (41 front / 42 back).   Played in the Friday men’s group outing - blustery conditions in play (wind gusting 10-20; spotty pop up misting rain; temps in the mid 50’s), so it was a good day to work on course management, delivering 7 GIR, total 32 putts - included 10 pars (3 being up and downs), a dbl and triple bogie.  Local course starting to get that winter feel - wet areas wetter, thin grass thinner, greens  trickier.
