FIX THAT SLICE!

STILL TRYING TO GET RID THAT ANNOYING SLICE?

Try thinking about it in these terms. Your ball flight is determined by only 2 things. That is, the clubhead's face position and path at impact.

FACE - This is the angle or position of the clubhead at impact. This will

determine the initial direction that the ball travels.

PATH - The path is the direction that the clubhead is moving toward the target on the forward swing. It is the path of the clubhead at

impact that puts spin on the ball. The spin will cause the ball

to curve during its flight.

So, with that in mind, lets focus on PATH. When your ball slices, the path of your clubhead is cutting across your intend line of flight. Furthermore, the clubhead is coming from the outside to the inside. To make the ball stop slicing, we must get the clubhead to swing in the opposite direction. Which is, to swing from the inside to the outside. In order to accomplish this, try focusing on the inside corner of your ball. Then, just try to hit that corner with the clubface.

This thought about path and focusing on which part of the ball to hit, will get the clubhead swinging in the right direction. You can do it! Just remember, FACE and PATH. Hit the inside corner of the ball. Good Luck!

Trouble during a round of golf

What to do when your swing suddenly leaves you during a round of golf!

Play ABC Golf!

Point A is the teeing ground, point B is the middle of the fairway, and point C is the green. When you are at point A, focus all your attention at just getting the ball to point B. Once there, then just doing everything you can do to get to point C. By doing this and taking once step at a time can really help. Good luck, you can do it!

Golf Game Improvement

JUST DON'T SEEM TO BE GETTING ANY BETTER?

In the last 15 years there have been some major advancements in club technology, golf balls, and teaching applications. All with intent to help golfers shoot lower scores. However, USGA statistics tell us that the average handicaps for golfers have not really changed. This proves the point that what the industry is pushing, is not what golfers need to improve. In order for most golfers to actually get better, they need to make an honest commitment to the improvement process and with an emphasis on the short game.
