I used to be a single digit handicapper, but lately I've been struggling with a very bad habit. It seems that I don't turn through the shot. Most of my woods and irons are hit on the toe of the club, and sometimes I take a divot inside the golf ball (between the ball and me) instead of a divot in front of the ball. I've been known to hit the ball on the toe of an iron so badly, it veers straight right as if I hit a shank on the hosel of the club. I assume my problem is not turning through the downswing coupled with the fact a taking the club too much to the inside. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I know this solution sounds WAY to easy, but stand a 1/2 inch closer to the ball. Check with a mirror - you are probably reaching in your set-up. Ensure your arms are hanging loosely from your shoulders at address.
