Rookie golfer needing held with my golf swing.

Question

I am a new golfer and every time i hit my driver i hook it to the right. I swing on the right side. Can any body give me suggestions on what i am doing.

Answer 1

There's some good help guides at http://www.golfguide.synthasite.com.  Ive used most of them and they helped my game greatly.

Answer 2

if you are left handed. then u are pulling it around your body too much ... try opening your club face a little bit. but if you are right handed you are pushing it away from your body...feel like you are swinging the club left and close your club face a little bit. when you get it straightened out. then swing normal and it should be fine

:) HOPE THIS HELPS

if you have a professional anywhere around then go to them once or twice or even weekly if you want but go to them and they will be a big help.. they are usually just at a local golf course. :)

Answer 3

If you are hooking you have an in to out swing path (which is good) but your club face is closed through impact.  Try and get it square for a nice draw.

It should be easy to fix.

Answer 4

If you want to hit the ball well go straight to a pro and take a few lessons before you develop muscle memory with bad technique.  That's absolutely the only way to do it.  I waited almost two years before I took lessons and now I'm struggling to un-learn all the bad habits I have developed on my own since I started.
