The most common cause of the sh***S is that you are standing too close to the ball and are swinging with an out-to-in swing path. To cure this, step back a little from the ball and really turn your shoulers through the swing. Do not be a lazy swinger!!! To make sure that your swing path is correct check your divots. If they go from right to left of your target you may well be a risk of shankng the ball because you you will hit it with of socket of our club, or may also end up slicing your shots.
