I then started taking my stance first, making sure my feet were square to the target. I then gripped the club and got into my set up position. This worked a few times but my Dad informed me that my shoulders were aiming right.

I aim right with putting as well.

It's all very frustrating !
It happens to lots of people so don't feel isolated. The problem is mainly caused by the swing path being in to out and due to the misconception that the arms and club need to be extended down the line towards the target through impact. Make sure the club moves quickly back inside as it is coming into the ball, you will feel like you are hitting the ball out left but it will take off straight, think of swinging the club around a big inclined hoop. I think you will then find your pushes will push off
