Illusion and solution

all help would be appreciated,your thoughts please.
Well, I believe when you try to "hit it straight", not only your shoulders and arms tends to react to that intent and move above (or outside) the swing plane to line up behind the ball (for sending it straight), which shifts the plane line from parallel to the target line toward the left of the target, but also you tend to square the clubface at impact , which leaves it facing to the left at separation.

The solution? Get over that illusion. Trust your setup and swing. Don't worry about hitting it to the target or where the ball is gonna go. "Hit the ball to the target without thinking of hitting the ball to the target".

Or, Can't get over the ball and the target. Then, instead of hitting it straight behind the ball, hit it to the right at the inside corner.

Good luck.

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.
