I have been playing pretty good golf this season but the last couple of rounds I have been pulling shots with my irons and flat out hooking the ball with the driver. I have never had this problem on a consistant basis. I was driving the ball the best I ever had then a draw came in. I was pleased with that but it contintued to get worse and now the ball either starts at the target and goes left or it goes straight left. The irons seem to not be as drastic but still some go left of target. It seems that as my game was getting better this continued to get worse Now I am back to square one. Any help?

I've gone through similar issues after going through an "in the zone" period. Usually its something simple. Check ball position. Check swing plane... too flat???? Those are my hook/pull gremlins.

I really agree with this. You may have unconsciously flattened your swing plane too much. It can really lead to consistent and serious hooking.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 3, April 11, after the Masters and before dinner, I had time (quite a bit of time, actually) to hit about two dozen practice balls, complete with the pelvis limiting drill.  As with the past two days, I would do the drill for pelvis limiting, then take slow rehearsals of the backswing, checking positions in a mirror, and then reset and hit.  These were all indoors, off a mat, into a net, primarily with a 6-iron, although a few were with a 9-iron.

      You know, I haven't followed much professional golf the past few years, and he wasn't the star of today's show, but I think I like this Sam Burns fellow.  I hope he plays well tomorrow.

      All of these missed fairways and the miraculous escapes followed by the seemingly reliable miracles suddenly stopping reminds me of another former Masters champion whose luck ran out on the 72nd hole of a major twenty years ago.
