Had problems with the driver yesterday - pushing everything to the right.  My read from Mike and Andy's book is that problem is likely from inside to outside swing.  I need to go more the other way and the drill I think I should focus on is using hitting over a box.  Looking for confirmation that I am on the right track.  Thanks.

I was having the same problem about a week ago.  I had a professional watch my swing and she saw that I was bringing the club in so far inside at the beginning that the face was wide open the whole swing.  Try to take the clubhead more to the outside at the beginning.  Watch your take away and see that the clubhead is farther out than your hands.  It will feel weird, but will work.  Take 3-4 waggles before each swing getting the feeling down, and then release your body and hands through the shot.  Hopefully that helps.

I would start just chipping and really work on closing the clubface I would also confirm via video or someone looking that it is in fact an inside out swing. Im no expert but I have suffered from the opposite problem, an outside in swing and I can tell you that that can also result in nasty fade/slices.

One more thing I was told was to make sure that you concentrate on turning over your hands.  And make sure the ball is far enough forward.  If it is too far back, you have that much less time to get the clubface squared up, and if it is in the correct location, that should help you get the face square at impact.

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
