In golf, the slice is probably the most infuriating of accuracy problems golfers can have. After an apparently perfect tee shot, the ball suddenly sabotages your plans for an easy hole by abruptly veering to the right. So it´s no wonder people have put so much effort into curing a slice, sometimes producing items that …
Recently, we’ve talked about new, unusual forms of golf that nonetheless use the main objective of golf (get a ball or projectile to a hole/target in as few shots as possible) to make for a fun game. There’s frisbee golf, as well as a newer soccer golf game – no word as to whether you’re …
It all happens so fast. You take the club back and – smack! You knock it out toward the fairway. Though it`s hard to believe, the ball actually contracts when impacted by such force. It’s this elasticity of the ball that gives the ball its distance – a golf ball goes much farther than pretty …
The way you connect with the club is vital to control. The right grip will make sure the swing path is correct as the club comes into the ball. In addition, there are a number of errors you can make while gripping the club that can mess up your swing and make you hit it …
Even if you’ve followed our advice and built a home practice net, there’s still plenty to be gained from practice at the range. While it’s true that you can never fully replicate the mental effects of playing golf under pressure, playing at the range is the perfect way to drill the right motions for distance …
Recently we talked about the mental game of golf, and one situation that can wreak havoc on your accuracy for mental reasons is teeing off on the 1st hole of any course. In many rounds I’ve played with people I’ve never met before, in foursomes assembled by the golf course, the pressure of wanting to …
With summer coming, here’s a shot you’re going to face sooner or later, the tight lie. Whether your region is experiencing an extreme drought, or you happen to be playing on a course where the sprinklers are broken, it helps to know how to play this shot. When you hit from dry grass, accuracy is …
We’ve all been in messy situations, but recently a golfing friend told me a story of someone he played with whose slice turned out to be a nasty spill for his game on the back nine of our favorite course. On this course, just to the right of one of the holes is a fenced …
It’s always good to get out on the golf course to practice, but practicing at home is equally valuable, allowing you to have constant reinforcement of the skill sets you need to play good golf. Especially if you’re trying to cure a slice, it’s helpful to groove the correct motion repeatedly, which means having a …
In one of our slice stories we wrote about how one golfer’s inability to cure a slice caused a massive traffic jam. Unfortunately, a recent golf round I played with a friend produced similar results. A golf buddy (who should also think about curing his slice) was facing a long second shot on the fairway. …
