Essentially, this means delivering the club-face back to the ball in an open (pointing to the right for right-handers) position and cutting across with the club and swing path (divot points to the left for a right-hander).

To fix the club path, your arms need to swing towards the target after impact and to square the club-face. 

You also need to make sure the toe of the club rotates through.

To check you are in the right position, stop your follow-through when the club is at hip height and parallel to the ground.

The grip should be pointing back to your belly button, the club should be pointing at the target and the toe of the club pointing to the sky.

With the toe pointing straight up, the club-face will look like it is hitting at a 90-degree angle to the target.

It makes sense that if the ball goes right, we swing left to compensate. 

Unfortunately, doing that will only exaggerate the problem.

If the ball starts left and curves right, you need to swing to the right and square up the club-face through impact.

As always, have fun out on the fairways.
