how to stop pulling everything left on the golf course?

Everyone can tell you put it back in your stance, put it forward in your stance, move back, move forward.....whatever.\nSlow down your swing and start there.  If you have to make slight adjustments from there then you can.  Main thing is to not swing too hard.  Dont try to kill it.  Making good connection is what you want.  Slowing your swing down will help stop your club from moving too much.  Just try it.

I learned probably 80% of what I learned in golf from caddying for six years. You see a lot of different swings, good and bad. My suggestion might be just to watch a lot of golf; see what people do. See what's comfortable for you, then get out and practice, and find something that works. What Tiger does for a good swing might not be what you do for a good swing.

It is always better to start on a range than the golf course for several reasons. First and most important, if you get frustrated on the range, you can just walk away and it only affect you. If you get frustrated on the course you have paid alot of money to just walk off, and the people behind you and with you will be affected. I would suggest working on a swing for about a half hour at a time untill you feel comfortable hitting shots consistantly, then play a round of golf.

the info is from Rick Martino is Director of Instruction for The PGA of America\n\nHitting a Draw\n\nTo draw the ball from right-to-left, you want your clubhead to enter the hitting area from inside the target line. The simplest approach is to close your address position. In other words, pull your trail side back from the target line.\n\nThis sets your feet, knees, hips and shoulders in position to make an inside-to-down-the-line-to-inside swing, which will put a counter-clockwise spin on the ball, causing it to curve to the left.\n\nYou need to aim the clubface where you want the ball to start. This swing shape will allow your arms and club to rotate faster than your body through the hitting area. Meanwhile, this swing thought will also help ensure that you swing along a proper inside-to-outside path to produce a draw.\n\nThe best club to practice a draw or a fade with is a 5-iron, since it has enough loft to easily get the ball airborne, while still putting enough sidespin on the ball. The more loft a club has, the more difficult it is to curve the ball.\n\nWhen playing a draw shot, the ball tends to have lower flight and run farther than it would if it were played with a standard shot, because you are actually taking "effective" loft off the club. In other words, a 5-iron will really have the loft of a 4-iron at impact. So, make sure that you select a club with enough loft to play this shot.\n\nIt is difficult to hit a hook with a long iron, because the shape of your swing causes the clubface to close down as it reduces the true and effective loft of the club.\n\nConversely, you need to address the ball with a slightly open stance when hitting a fade -- with your target or forward foot pulled back away from the target line. This promotes both taking the club away from and returning to the ball outside the target line. This swing path allows the clubface to cut across the ball at impact, producing a clockwise spin that curves the ball from left-to-right.\n\nBecause the swing you make with a fade places the body ahead of the club, a fade will cause the ball to fly higher than normal and often stop more quickly when it hits the ground. As a result, many people believe it is a safer, more easily controlled shot than a draw.\n\nHowever, keep in mind that the shape of a fade swing actually increases the effective loft of a club. While the ball will fly higher than a normal shot, it won't carry as far. So, in effect, when playing a fade shot with an 8-iron, you will actually produce a shot that has the trajectory and distance of an 8 1/2-iron.

This is really easy, let's take a shot from 150 yards as an example. Normally I would hit a 9 iron from this distance. Now if I wanted to hit it lower I would take out a 7-iron and take my normal stance, but I would grip down on the handle of the club about 1.5 inches, then I would make my normal swing, the shot should come out lower and with less spin, so it will cut through the wind and run a bit when it hits the ground. \n\nHope this helps!

You need to be able to hit all the clubs.  There are plenty of golf holes that require a longer drive.  If you only drive the ball 210 yards, you will never have a chance to reach a par five in two for example.  For me, I'm most happy with a slight draw because I know that when the ball hits the ground it is going to run.  \nMaybe what you need is a new driver with a little more loft to get the ball flying through the air a little longer?  Or perhaps try teeing the Calloway up a little higher and playing it more toward your left foot?  Not sure what you are doing now but just a couple things to think about.  With a 200 yard 5-wood, you should expect more out of your driver.

First, make sure your clubs are custom fit for you; correct length, correct flex, correct loft and lie, correct grip size, correct weight, ie., balanced (are they uniform in feel and play), and more important that your set is made up of clubs that fit your game, ie., no 1 or 2 iron in the bag when you should be hitting a 7 or 5 wood. Second, Where on the golf course are you waisting shots? Work on that part of your game, get help from your golf pro if needed.  Third, Play Play Play Practice Practice Practice. As my Dad once told me, your not going to get any better sitting here on your ass.  So get off your ass and go play, make sure your equipment is right and get help when you need it, the rest while fall into place. HAND Have A Nice Day!!!

1.   Stand with your feet closer together than when you normally swing.  \n  \n2.   Position yourself so that the ball is closer to your back foot.  \n  \n3.   Use a flop wedge, also known as a 60-degree wedge. A sand wedge can be used in an emergency.  \n  \n4.   Swing the club on a steeper plan (more upright).  \n  \n5.   Hit directly underneath the ball before taking a divot. Take a divot that is long and shallow.  \n  \n6.   Follow through normally.

Unfortunately its your tough luck. The rules of golf do not provide a remedy. Social conventions however vary and allow for possible striking or at least the hurling of expletives in his/her direction depending on how intentional the distraction was.

Stay on the inside, keep pedleing OVER and when IN THE AIR, because it will propell you foreward, and you will be going at the same speed or faster than everyone else when you are over that part of the course!\n\nLater.

if you are talking about yahoo pool, go click on the cue stick to aim for position, then set your power bar ready, click on the cue and drag it, let go.. and see the ball rip apart ! cheers !

Just stay focus on the course, don't think about the others. Good Luck!

Mike this is a toughie buddy. Turning a fade into a draw takes a lot of hard work and effort. It certainly will not happen overnight. \n\nSome of what the guy above said is correct. But it will only work depending upon how you hit your fade now. David Duval and Paul Azinger have the strongest grips on the planet but they both hit a fade....so making your grip strong isn't going to do anything if you're hitting a "hold" fade. (Delaying your release through impact and "holding" onto the shot)\n\nI actually have no idea what to tell you except to go see a PGA pro and tell him/her what you're after, that you'd like to try to start drawing the ball, I'm sure they'd be able to point you in the right direction. \n\nOn a side note as far as distance is concerned.....460CC drivers will give you another 10 yards....try to strike the ball one groove above the geometric center of the clubface....that's easy distance right there! \n\nGood luck!

Golf Proverbs\n1. If you really want to get better at golf, go back and take it up at a much earlier age. \n\n2. The game of golf is 90% mental and 10% mental. \n\n3. Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is actually the beginning of the next group of three. \n\n4. When you look up and cause an awful shot, you will always look down again at exactly the moment when you ought to start watching the ball if you ever want to see it again. \n\n5. Any change works for a maximum of three holes and a minimum of not at all. \n\n6. No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse. \n\n7. Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your swing. \n\n8. When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either hit one more club or two more balls. \n\n9. If you're afraid a full shot might reach the green while the foursome ahead of you is still putting out, you have two options: you can immediately shank a lay-up, or you can wait until the green is clear and top a ball halfway there. \n\n10. The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the golf swing. \n\n11. The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant elimination of the one critical unconscious motion that allowed you to compensate for all your errors. \n\n12. If it ain't broke, try changing your grip. \n\n13. Golfers who claim they don't cheat, also lie. \n\n14. Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot. \n\n15. A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponent's luck. \n\n16. It's surprisingly easy to hole a 50-foot putt when you lie 10. \n\n17. Counting on your opponent to inform you when he breaks a rule is like expecting him to make fun of his own haircut. \n\n18. Nonchalant putts count the same as chalant putts. \n\n19. It's not a gimme if you're still away. \n\n20. The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a straight line that passes directly through the center of a very large tree. \n\n21. There are two kinds of bounces: unfair bounces, and bounces just the way you meant to play it. \n\n22. You can hit a 2-acre fairway 10% of the time, and a 2-inch branch 90% of the time. \n\n23. Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make two triple bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe. \n\n24. If you want to hit a 7-iron as far as Tiger Woods does, simply try to lay up just short of a water hazard. \n\n25. To calculate the speed of a player's downswing, multiply the speed of his backswing by his handicap. Example: backswing 20 mph, handicap 15, downswing 600mph. \n\n26. There are two things you can learn by stopping your backswing at the top and checking the position of your hands: how many hands you have, and which one is wearing the glove. \n\n27. Hazards attract; fairways repel. \n\n28. You can put "draw" on the ball, you can put "fade" on the ball, but no golfer can put "straight" on the ball. \n\n29. A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not yours. \n\n30. If there is a ball in the fringe and a ball in the bunker, your ball is in the bunker. \n\n31. If both balls are in the bunker, yours is in the footprint. \n\n32. Don't buy a putter until you've had a chance to throw it.
