If the ball goes near the hole the divot can do what it bloody well likes.I should imagine Trevinos divots aimed left,but it didn't seem to bother him.

I think most people just call that a slice.

Sadly most people are not Trevino, Nicklaus, Woods or Stadler...

I have the same divot pattern caused by my rotten out-to-in swing that haunts me like...um....like...something really haunting. And I slice.

My divots go anywhere and everywhere.

The divot issue is because of the over the top (out to in) swing path. You won't notice as much of a slice on your irons because of the increased loft on those clubs as opposed to your driver.

Those that are hitting it online (Trevino like) that have divots aiming left, are more than likely aiming their bodies right of target and pulling their irons.

You sound like my brother-in-law. There isn't a right side hazar he can't find. I don't care how far left he aims.

When I'm on my game, my divots tend to point to the target. If I'm fighting my irons, the divots tend to point to the left, indicating an over-the-top move.
