Also, note where the ball IS in your stance. If it is too far to the rear your clubface will never get the time to close before impact. It shouldn't be too far forward however. The closest I can explain for good contact has been to position the ball towards your left center. Not dead center and not at your front foot.

There are also many diffent things that can be happening as the poster before me stated. You coule be dipping or dropping your right shoulder (if you are a rightie) directly before impact which is common, and that can force your clubface to open right before impact. Keep on chuggin man!

First I think you need to determine how your ball is going right. If it's a straight line to the right, it's probably your stance. If it's starting out straight and curving, then you have a slice.

If you're hitting straight, it may be your alignment. Next time you step up and address the ball, lay your club down parallel to you, touching the toes of both feet, then step back, and look where the club is pointed.

If it's a slice (and I have a BAADDDD one), I do a few things. 1 problem is that I'm pulling the club almost straight up into my backswing position. To fix this I keep the club head as low to the ground as possible on my backswing, focus on keeping my left arm straight as possible, and make sure that at 9 o'clock my club is pointed straight up, hands at a 90 degree angle.
If I still find myself slicing, I'll get into my stance, address the ball, then literally release my right hand grip, and roll it over more onto my left. You'll feel odd, your right arm will be really tight, but it forces my hands to come through straighter at impact, and doesn't affect my power.

The best advice? Get used to having the occasional bad round. Unless you're playing a few times a week, it's VERY difficult to get consistent play. Even tiger has crappy rounds.
If you hit a bad shot, think about what you did for about 5 seconds, and forget about it. Half the game is in your mind :)

best wishes, and hit em straight!

There a a lot of things that could be causing this. Look at your stance. Draw a line from your back toe through your front toe. That should tell you what direction your ball will travel if you hit it straight.

Or try closing up the club face. You can do this by rotating the club in your hands a little bit. This usually helps me when I am slicing my woods.

Try aiming so far left that the ball lands left of the target. Then
gradually aim a little less left. Try swinging a bit less hard
and also try moving the ball closer to your left foot in the stance. Experimenting on the range is the key.

Sounds like you are not squaring your clubhead at impact which will send your shots to the right. Copy the move Mike Weir does when he addresses the ball. He is making sure his club face is square at address.

asking for swing corrections on here is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you are going to get.....See a teaching Pro......In order to fix it some one has to see what you are doing.

Golf on!
