Divot for hitter
With a slight open stance, club taking up facing the ball, the divot is straight (up to 7 iron) and slightly turn left for woods. The ball flight is either straight or fade. Should the divot be going to the right since you shlould hit down and out to the right? The distance is ok except for the driver and is always going to the right, I know is something about hinge action. Still figure out how up on the backswing.

short irons should tend to point right
mid irons should tend to be ever so slightly to even straight
long irons should be thin (browning of grass) and be straight

The reason they are curling left is you are swinging, no joke, just too far left through impact. You need to learn how to swing out to right field more. Something that took me a long time to learn. The more you swing out to right, the more the ball tends to draw. The more you swing left, the more it tends to fade. Short irons will do either less because there is more loft and more backspin. As you go down in loft there is less backspin and the possibility of more sidespin, hence the easier it is to draw/fade longer lower lofted clubs.

Thanks Jim.

I played yesterday and found that if the ball is farther back it is easy to hit to the right. Therefore for hitter the ball position is more back?
