In this regard, why does my golf drive always go to the right? A slice shot is caused by a poor grip and setup, an outside-to-in downswing path and an open clubface. An outside-to-in path occurs when the golfer reaches too far on the downside, bringing the club down to the right of the ball (outside), relative to the target line.
Considering this, why am I pushing my drives to the right? Some players think a push comes from shifting too far toward the target, but this spin-out move is the real cause. When you spin open, your right shoulder tilts down and the club gets stuck to the inside. From there, the ball can only go right.
Moreover, why am I blocking my golf shots right? Blocking shots occurs as a result of a club path that is of the inside-out variety. In addition to that club path, the clubface matches the path at impact and will aim at the right, resulting in no favourable draw spin to bring the ball back towards the target.
Amazingly, how do I stop a blocked golf shot? The hip slide prevents you from making a proper hip rotation as your hips have already moved too far left and the arms and hands can only move in to out resulting in the block. To fix this issue you need to slow down your hips and allow them to rotate open slowly so that your arms and hands can synchronize perfectly.The shot (for right-handers) typically goes right because the face off the club is open, resulting in a push-slice. Some players manage to flip their wrists at contact, resulting in a big hook. Getting stuck can be prevented by eliminating a couple of excess movements in your swing.

Why am I not hitting my irons as far?
One reason you might not be hitting the ball very far is that you have too high of a spin rate with your driver and irons. An easy way to spot this is watching how high your shots go in the air. Golf shots that get hit with high back spin rates tend to climb higher into the air.

Why am I hitting line drives with my irons?
One reason amateurs tend to hit irons too low is that they narrow their swing radius, taking the club back by letting the lead arm (left arm for right-handers) bend too much. It doesn’t have to be locked, but it should maintain a fairly straight appearance all the way to the top.

Why is my club face open at impact?
The open club face is caused by too much lead wrist extension (cupping). Wrist extending (cupping/bending) and flexing (bowing/arching) are the motions that open and close the clubface.

Practice your alignment, ball position, posture and balance with the help of a professional instructor. Poor fundamentals can cause short shots. Failing to complete your follow through or not properly shifting your weight during the swing also can cause iron shots to fall short.
