If there's been one consistent part of my game over the last couple of years, it's been my driving. Not necessarily very long (240-250) but I consistently hit fairways, and if I miss, it's not very far off.
Enter the dreaded snap hook.
It's killing me right now. Not so much that I snap hook every drive, but once it rears it's ugly head, I spend the rest of the round trying to prevent it, which inevitably ends up with a push to the right 20-30 yards or so off the fairway...as I'm focusing on trying to keep the club head open. I think yesterday I managed to hit only 4 or 5 fairways, where I'll normally hit 12 or so on this particular course.
And of course, this is also translating into missed greens, and a lot of scrambling, with the end result being higher scores (shot an 82 yesterday, the round before, a freaking 89!! I'm normally in the low-mid 70's on this course).
This crap (snap hook) appeared out of nowhere about 3 weeks ago. As far as I can tell, nothing has changed about my swing, or stance...but obviously something has.
Any tips would be appreciated.
