What is a double cross in golf?

A double cross in golf occurs when a golfer aims their shot in one direction, but the ball ends up going in the opposite direction. This can happen when a player's swing path and clubface alignment are misaligned, causing the ball to veer off course.

Double crosses can be frustrating for golfers because they often result in poor shots and missed targets. They can also lead to penalties or lost strokes, as the ball may end up in a hazard or out of bounds.

To avoid double crosses, golfers should work on their swing mechanics and alignment to ensure that their clubface is square to their target at impact. Practicing with a teaching professional or using training aids can help golfers improve their consistency and reduce the likelihood of hitting double crosses on the course.
