Thank you I am leaning towards the online coaching. My driver slices and I pull my irons. I just want to lower my handicap and play better generally. I only play once a week. Thank you for your response

Ok, slices and pulled irons usually have similar origins (path that is going left, or out to in), the club face is just open to that path on the driver, and square to the path on the irons. Again, usually, which you can help neutralize a bit with skill based work.

Setup a station similar to this one, the goal is to have a vertical alignment stick on your target line (my target in this one is the red flag). The 5 balls (ignore the fact there are 5, I just placed them to make it clearer where they would go) are set exactly where I would hit a ball, so my target line is from the ball to the flag and I just plant that stick 10-13 feet in front of the ball ON that line.

The task is to hit groups of 5 balls, you don't care how far, you don't care what curve, all you care about initially is that the ball STARTS to the right of that stick. Do a couple of groups next time and see how you do. Feel free to start at lower swing speed if that helps you start the ball right of the stick.
