Pulling 8I-SW hard Left

I am a 19 handicap golfer who is left handed but golfs right handed. I have had a new problem develop this season and am at a loss to explain it.

I hit my Woods (1, 3, 5) straight with a slight draw.

I hit my 3I-7I straight or just slightly left of straight.

I am hitting pulling my 8I-SW 30-40 degrees to the left. I have checked on the driving range with with flow method, as well as had friends check my feet and body alignment, and my problem does not appear to be body alignment. All my divots are angled approximately 40-45 degrees left of target line. I use a shoulder width stance, and line my ball up slightly behind center. I have tried moving the ball forward and backward in my stance with no significant change in the severe pull that I have developed.

I go back to my seven ironk, and hit it straight or just slightly left of target line. This developed rapidly a couple weeks ago, and is wrecking my short game!

Any ideas?

A primary reason for this is a loss of fundamental awareness.

Most likely you are standing to close to the ball, when you stand too close to the ball the only option you have is take the club to the outside, this is why your divots are pointing left of the target because you are swinging that way(left of the target line)

When addressing the ball you should have two fist widths between your hands and your body if there is more you are standing too far away, if there is less you are standing too close.

set up to a golf ball, then put another one directly behind your clubhead, when you start your takeaway push the ball straight back and slightly to the inside, this will ensure a proper takeaway.

Most problems occur within the first three feet of the swing
