Swinging Down the Line

[MikeLowry5]

I swing out and it is even more pronounced when I am aligned at a target that is to the left (I'm left handed). Well yesterday I shanked the ball 3 times which all got me penalty strokes .

Anyone have suggestions/drills to work on swinging more down the line? I do have a poor impact position where the hips have not came through to show the two cheek position. Pretty much I am WAY too closed when coming through the ball.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sometimes when I'm hitting my driver at the range, I will put a yard stick about a foot in front of my ball and pretend like a need to hit it. It keeps me from pulling my arms in to quickly after I hit the ball.
