When practising golf, it is best to get a short lofted club, because it is the easier club to hit and more reliable an driver. So that means it is easier to tell. If you have hit a good shot or a bad or good shot.
By doing this it will help you to fix your mistakes. Of it doing a left to right, a right to left, a fade, a hook. Or mabie your hitting it too high and then the wind takes it away. All away to the left or right.
If you notice this then you could have a look at your stance and then if it is wrong. Correct it to your golf ball is roughly in line with the middle of your stance. Once that is correct then practise your half swing and grip until it feels right. When doing your half swing don’t bend your elbows or wrists until you just past your half swing. But just focus contour half swing to have better shots.
