So I have been teaching my girlfriend to golf and she actually has a great swing, but she doesn't trust me when I say it :-P

Anyways, she hits the ball solid but everything seems to be a push to the right.  Her hips are very open at impact and there is no slice/hook on the ball.  She is using very old clubs which probably aren't a woman's flex.  I noticed my mom, who started playing a few years ago, does the same thing.  Solid contact but always always always to the right.  I can't get them to pull a shot left.

Any ideas on why this is and how to fix their rightward shots?

Without a video we'd all be guessing. If we are guessing, I would first look at her grip. Many amateurs the first time they grip a club it's done too weak.

Yeah sorry I should have stated that in the OP.  I would love to post a video but not sure she would be wild about it! :-D

I'll have to check her grip, thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah, my wife had a problem with pushing to the right.  Not so much anymore, I basically think she grew out of it.  In other words, after playing enough, her brain/body/coordination got connected enough to know how to square the club at contact.  She hits it straight or a little left, with a draw, more often than pushing it now.

Our golf instructor told her to "roll" her arms more.  As an aside, I've seen Hank Haney videos where he says the same thing.  But, I don't think that is what ultimately fixed the problem as I noted above.

    • Day 139: worked on putting for a while. Did the two cups drill for bead. 
    • It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno…. 
    • Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo. 
    • Yes. I believe in using the same ball all of the time, including chipping and putting practice. I use the orange Callaway Supersoft.  Only $25 per dozen, and sometimes on sale for $20.
