And that'll give you tidy divots too. Of course no divots mean that you're not hitting down on the ball. You're right about your diagnosis, and when you see them thar divots you'll see some much better shots.

I've been struggling with my divots all pointing to the left. Think I've ironed it out by concentrating on rotating my wrists, and setting up for a draw. Doesn't seem to work with my Driver though, but I think that's more about ball position on my drives, which I have positioned slightly left of my left big toe.
Your left facing divots will be caused by you hitting on an out to in swingpath, this should be causing slices or hooks depending how you close the clubface at impact.

I would suggest you work on getting a more in to out swing (If you need any help with that then please let me know). Try placing the ball further back in line with your left armpit.
