Question- You have just started your round and you realize that you are missing all your shots lets say to the right. You reaffirm that your aim and alignment are good, but you still miss right. Do you start to tinker with your swing or do you "dance with the one you brought" and aim more to the left?

My downswing is inside out. So the "rights" are an open clubface problem for me. The twistaway thought helps. If I try to twistaway, the clubface feels shut but isn't in reality.

My question wasn't so much about fixing a push shot, but a question of strategy. What course of action will minimize your score in the particular round you are playing. 1) Tinker with your swing in hopes that you will fix your errant shots but also risking you might make things worse or 2) Saying "this is the swing I got today how can I score best with it today"? I'll fix it on the range later. Any thoughts?

I go with the Tiger Woods/Anthony Kim line of thinking...just play that shot, after the round try to fix it. There's a big advantage to having a legit 1-way miss. You can hit it worse, but still end up with a good round because you know where to aim and you have a better chance of avoiding trouble.
The last month or so I haven't been playing well. I had to repair the shaft in my driver, but by doing so...I wound up making the driver shaft super stiff.
Because the shaft was super stiff, I could still hit it well, but lost yardage. Not only that, I would hit push after push after push.
My best round the last month or so came with that driver. I wasn't hitting the ball or putting all that well. But I knew how to control that driver. Just aim left, push it down the middle. I couldn't miss left with that thing.

Personally, I think it depends. If it is a reoccurring issue that the player knows how to address accurately and quickly then I would attempt to address it.
If they are unsure at all why it is happening, than I would play for it.
I have a difficult time understanding the 'just play' idea. I know it sounds good and all but I think there is always some thought. It may not be about mechanics so people call it just playing but I bet it is not nothing.
