I just went golfing for the first time today, and i was reasonable at everything accept I kept hookjing the ball right. i'm a righty.

There are so many ways you are hitting a hookd. since i cant see your swing i'll just give you some tips.

the same way that pulled and slices shots happen from a flawed swing, hooked shots are closely related. for your swing im assuming that your club approaches the ball on a seere in-to-out swing. kind of like this " / " bottom is the in and the top of that slash is the out. check your divots if your hooking it they will look like that...if your pulling it, it will look like this \ (same this as a slice.)

position of the clubface ultimately determines the shape of the shot you hit. severly in to out swings with a closed clubface will create a big snap hook creating counter clockwise spin on the ball. you need to not only improve the position of the clubface but, on producing a swing that delivers the club on a much better line through the impact area, which will create a straight and more accurate shot with as little backspin as possible.

here are 6 tips you will need to work on.
1)weaken your right hand grip- turn that hand to the left on the club. this will help your right hand from becoming to active and will help keep that club face straight.

2) open up your upper body in relation to the target line at adress, also play the ball foward in your stance

3) halfway into your backswing, make sure the top of the club points skyward. if your problem is severe, try to feel your left wrist "cupped" at the top of your swing

4)Work on "clearing" your body through impact. Feel that your hips are opening up to the target, and your right shoulder is moving forward as you strike the ball

5)feel that the Grip-end of your club is swinging left after impact, but at the same time the clubface remains open

finally 6) practice shots from a sidehill lie with the ball below the level of your feet. this will encourage you to swing the club on a steeper plain, getting it to approach the ball on a straighter line

sorry for writing so much i hope this helps

Good question Brotha

Yes it's hard to believe but there are more than 27 million golfers in the world today. It's important to remember, your golf swing is what drives your score; not your clubs or ball. Many golfers play golf just to hack around and have some fun; more avid players are always looking for ways to improve their golf swing and their overall game.

It's been proven that thinking positively about bettering your golf game will benefit you more than playing to compete with your partners and trying to win for winnings sake. Visualize where you would like the ball to land, as you swing. Overall, you generally want to play golf with confidence.

Swing slowly and steadily using a nice rhythm. Trust your golf club to do the job it was intended to do. Accomplished golfers purposely use sidespin to steer their ball around obstacles or towards the safe side of fairways and greens. When you swing if you have problems with your left knee buckling, imagine you're holding a soccer ball between your knees.

The backswing is a rotation to the right, consisting of a shifting of the player's body weight to the right side, a turning of the pelvis and shoulders, lifting of the arms and flexing of the elbows and wrists. As the body matures, the ability to rotate the upper torso is affected by age, and the hand action can also slow down requiring a slightly stronger grip.

Sidespin occurs when the clubface is not aligned perpendicularly to the plane of swing. Use the basic 'hitchhiker' position when you're working on your backswing. Before you swing, make sure you're relaxed; contract all your muscles tightly for a moment and then relax them.

Make sure to use the proper technique. At the end of a swing, the weight has shifted almost entirely to the left foot, the body is fully turned to the left and the hands are above the left shoulder with the club hanging down over the players' back.

Once you understand that you can change your swing by using a simple technique, you'll never underestimate golf fitness again. You can get rid of shoulder problems with some simple techniques. It's no secret; most of the professional players actively participate in workouts.

Ask an expert, who is not associated with the shop you would buy your golf swing aid from, for advice on the right aid for you. Most of all don't waste your money on a golf swing aid you don't need or will never use. Be careful about the claims on TV commercials and magazine ads; seek expert advice before you buy because they may not live up to their claims.

Golf swing aids can be found online and are often cheaper. If you're looking for an aid to improve your stance they're not hard to find. There are a wide range of golf swing aids on the market today to help the beginning and advanced golfer.

Keep in mind that with some golf swing aids, you may still need advice or help from an expert. Overall, investing in golf swing aids will greatly improve your golf swing and your golf game.
