text: golf is so difficult to me.               how can i stop coming over the top and swinging from outside in? i dont want to quit playing . please somebody tell me how to accomplish this in my swing. this is probably one of the most difficult things to stop doing for most golfers. one that may help is to think about keeping your right elbow (assuming you're a righty) closer to your body on your downswing.  this tends to promote more an inside out swing path.  also, if you can maintain your shoulders in a level position, or have your left shoulder pointed slightly upwards, it will be difficult to get over the top as well.  good luck!
