Advice needed for a recurring bad shot.

If anyone can suggest the cause of my recurring bad shot I would be grateful.

Whilst I know its difficult without having seen me hit a shot some of you may have seen this before. Firstly I am left-handed. My fault is I always hit my shots straight right or hook to the right. I have had a few lessons but success was limited - pro said it was my grip. On the range I could hit it straight most of the time but on the golf course I seem to revert to my old ways.When I do hit the ball straight I have the sensation that I am cutting across the ball with a glancing blow.Contact only feels solid with the club more closed but this causes the pull/hook to the right. All suggestions appreciated as this is becoming very frustrating.

Footnote .

On the North West qualifier I scored 29 points from 13 holes  - I blobbed on 5 .I could easily have done better if I had kept the ball in play more. On the long par 3 some 210 yards I hit 2 tee over the ditch into the adjacent farmers field using a 5 wood. Both shots started off straight at the green then suddenly hooked viciously out of bounds. Similar shots with the driver cost me several shots on other holes.

If you happen to  read this Mr Pettit I would value your input as your knowledge is obvious.

kind regards,

Michael

Hi Michael,

I am also a left hander. Without seeing you hit a shot my guess would either be as you said your grip or your setting the club behind the ball closed at address.

I have the opposite problem (although not quite as often now) where I hit a fade.
