Tips:   1)   Keep the clubface more upright throughout the swing; do this by not bending your left  wrist at address.   2)   Stand  closer to the ball; this will help keep your club more upright and allow for a straight back and through  motion during the swing.   3)   Make sure that the hands lead the clubface through the impact zone (one foot behind the ball).
