If you stand 45 degrees backward and set the club face square to the target- then swing the club as you would normally- you will draw the ball. That is all the instruction you need. This set up will help you swing the club head inside out which will allow you to draw the ball. Let me know if you are able to accomplish it.

@Cindy M.

I draw the ball pretty well actually I just understood you to say to aim the club face to the right of the target and didn't realize that you didn't mean to aim less right than your body was facing. Also I'm use to seeing instructions of a stronger grip and lead foot forward and swinging around more than up and down and was expecting that but you were keeping it more simple which is fine too. Thank you for your time and advice.

You are welcome. I hope it makes sense. If not, let me know. I am trying to make it simple.

No tee unless you are playing with friends who say it is okay. You can still stand backwards and draw it around the tree.

Shannon K.
The reason you stand backward is to keep your body from moving in front of the ball, which would not allow the face to turn over. It keeps your body still and allows your hands to release the face.

You can shut the face, yes. Standing backward allows you to swing it more inside and out and allows the head to make a bigger circle, which will create more speed, therefore more distance. Your body will create the leverage to do this.

That depends how far you are from the tree and how high you need to hit it. Under branches, I might even hit driver off the deck. Over branches, a wedge or nine iron.

This is just another way to make sure the ball hooks. It exaggerates an inside out path.

Yes!

Yes, I would try this and allow the club head to swing past the grip. It will help get rid of your slice!

@Cindy M.

Cindy,

Thanks for the video, your commitment to response, and the added “feel” advice of club head past grip. With the copious amount of tips online these days, it can become overwhelming standing over the ball. It is impossible to play that way, its paralyzing. I’m fairly new to the game, but I’ve found that the idea of swing “feels” work best for me. If an instructor can tell me what I should be feeling, I can incorporate it and eventually it becomes routine. For example it helped me to learn the “creating a U” with your belt buckle solved my wild head movement/early posture extension , reverse weight transfer, and lack of lag all in one. My next challenge is finding a consistent feel to ensure the right distance to the ball at address(HINT HINT 😉). I’m somehow always being told I’m too far away!

One way to be sure you are the right distance from the ball is to bow over and "feel" the top of your lead arm resting on the side of your chest. DO NOT REACH! Let me know if that helps.
