I have had plenty of students that came to me asking for help to stop pushing golf shots. So much so that I find myself giving the same advice over and over again, which is really atypical to the usual day-to-day golf lessons I give. Usually I give advice that suits a player's unique tendencies, but for a player that is consistently pushing their shots, the method I give them to fix their push is very similar.

When a golfer hits a push shot, the ball takes a straight path, but to the outside of the spot they are aiming for. So, if you are left handed, the ball will travel in a straight line to the left, and vise-versa if you are right handed. One fix to a consistent push is to adjust the spot you are aiming at accordingly. However, if you would like to fix your push shot entirely, here is how you should go about it.

The first thing you need to do is pick out three clubs (the lengths do not matter). Go outside, stand in your ready position, and lay one of these clubs along the line of your feet (meaning if you were to draw a line from arch to arch, and continue drawing the line out against your target, lay the club along that line).

Take the two other clubs and lay one in front of your ball pointing towards your target, and one behind your ball along the same line. All of these clubs should be parallel with each other, with the two that are lined up with your ball approximately one foot away from the ball.

When you have confirmed that all of the clubs are parallel, and you are lined up with all of them, remove the club that is lying in front of your ball. Now, all you have to do is work on taking swings at the ball, paying close attention to your downswing as it follows along the club behind the ball.

This tip should help you straighten out your shots, and force the ball to travel to its intended destination.
