ok, so any hole that sets me up left...is killing me!
hard to explain

what i mean is...if the hole is a dogleg that turns left, off the tee
i feel "open" all the time and end up hitting a nasty fade or even slice
i used to be able to hit a nice draw around the corner, but i don;t know what it is lately

anyone in the single digits have some advice or a drill i can practice to solve this situation?

hitting a 4 i off the tee 210-225 is always my copout as i am scared of the big stick on these holes

Don't focus or think about where you are going. Select your club, find a spot on the ground you want your swingpath to go. If you play a draw by closing the clubface, set up square to the spot on the ground, knowing it's your swingpath, then close the face a little to get the set up done. Do your waggle, take a look at the spot your body is aiming at, forget where the clubface is aiming and take a solid swing at the ball.

I have this problem too.. there is this one hole at my course thats a driveable par 4, straight fairway, but you have to tee off at an angle to the left and there are scary woods on the right. EVERY time I hit a massive hook into the woods. I think for some reason even though I'm set up at the right angle I feel like I need to adjust my swing to hit it left...

    • 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.
