“Slice” In Foreign Languages

Golf is an international game, and each foreign language has its own particular take on golf terminology. Sure, many countries have imported the original English terms without translating them, but in other cases they put their own particular stamp on the golf lexicon. Which is good, because otherwise the golf lexicon of that country would …

Slice Stories: Driving Range Hell

A recent round of golf found me and a few links loving friends teeing off on a new and unfamiliar course. Like many courses, the first hole of this course was right near the driving range. But due to lax maintenance, there was a gaping hole in the net, resulting in a small patch off …

Get on the Inside of the Ball

I played golf with Walter “Smiley” Jones, a friend and student of long-hitter Mike Austin, and as I watched him swing it was clear he was hitting “out” on the ball. He wasn’t hitting the ball down the line, he was swinging as if he was hitting the ball to right field. This connected with …

Slice Stories: Knock on Wood

Recently I was playing a new, heavily wooded course. Myself and two golfing pals were put in with a newish golfer, who was well off enough to afford a nice set of Callaways, but didn’t yet know what to do with them. On a course where every fairway was lined with a formidable forest thick …
