The Situation: On a long hole you want the extra run you get from right-to-left spin on the ball. Or you want to curve the ball around a dogleg.
Why It’s Difficult: The swing path needed to produce a draw is the exact opposite of the one most golfers use.
The Solution: First think small draw (about 5 to 10 yards). Aim your toe line about 5 to 10 yards to the right of where you want the ball to land and swing along it. It’ll feel like your pushing the ball out to the right ,but it’s that inside -out swing path that gets the ball to curve in the direction you want. Make a slower -than-normal downswing to give your hands time to turn the club over through impact and draw the ball back to your target.
