What are the most common golf swing faults?

What are the most common golf swing faults?

Every golfer at some time or another let’s a swing fault creep into his or her game.  Half the battle of fixing a golf swing fault is identifying what the golf swing fault is in the first place.

Below is a list of the twelve most common golf swing faults that all golfers experience on or off the course at one time or another.

1.Pull Hook: The pull hook is a golf fault that starts left and curves farther left.

2.Hook: The hook shot is a golf fault that starts right of target and curves left of target.

3.Pull: The pull is a golf fault that starts left of target and continues straight left.

4.Push: The push shot is a golf fault that starts right of target and continues straight right.

]]>

5.Slice: The slice shot is a golf fault that starts left, but finishes right of target.

6.Push Slice: The push slice is a golf fault that starts right of target and continues farther right.

7.Thin/topped Shot: A thin or “topped” golf fault occurs when the leading edge of club strikes equator of ball usually sending the golf ball a few inches off the ground and only a few feet.

8.Fat/Duffed Shot: A “fat” or “duffed” golf fault occurs when the golfer hits behind the ball and hits the turf before the ball is struck sometimes popping the ball in the air with little distance.

9.Shank Shot: A “shank” occurs when the ball strikes hosel of club and ball flies viciously to right.

10.Left Arm Collapse (also known as “Chicken Wing”): occurs when the left arm collapses before club face impact with the golf ball resulting in significant power loss and errant golf shots.

11.Pop-Up Golf Shot: A “pop-up” golf shot occurs when the golf ball is popped straight up into the air with little distance usually resulting from too steep of a swing.

12.Poor Distance: Poor distance occurs when the golfer makes decent contact with the golf ball but does not achieve adequate distance with either irons or woods shots.  This usually occurs because the upper and lower body are not synchronized to achieve maximum swing speed and power.

The Basics of Fishing Equipment – Know Your Tackle

The Basics of Fishing Equipment – Know Your Tackle

Buy the Award Winning ‘Esca Lures’ online at http://www.innovativefishingtackle.co.uk/

Basic fishing tackle consists of a rod, line, hook, bait, lure, and sinker, all of which are specially designed to be as easy to use and accurate as possible. For example, the line is made up of a cord specially manufactured to be very hard to detect underwater while being very strong. Factors to take into account when buying a new line include issues such as resistance, the stretch, its strength and suchlike. The line should be chosen after considering the size and species of the fish that is to be caught.

The sinker, otherwise known as a plummet, is a weight that aids in getting the bait and hook as far out into the water as possible from wither the shore or a boat. Hooks are available in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and materials to suit each person’s individual fishing style.

Baits and lures are the other essential elements of any fishing tackle arsenal. The lure is an object that looks and moves like the prey of whatever fish you’re aiming to catch. Once the lure has done its thing, the fish will turn its attention to the bait, which is the prey element the fish will go for. The lure and bait work in tandem to ensure you get a good catch. The bait can be natural, such as maggots or insects, or man-made materials. As with everything else in fishing, a successful catch is down to having the best fishing tackle at your disposal.

The Two Best Fall Bass Baits

Because people fish in so many different ways and most have a favorite way to fish, picking just two baits from the hundreds is difficult.

This is not an article for “experts” or people set in their ways. It’s for the guys and gals who just like to fish and sure would like to go out sometime and catch a whole bunch of fish.

The best time to do that is during the fall, especially here on Barkley and Kentucky lakes, as well as on most other lakes on this general latitude.

Spring is when most people who don’t fish every weekend think about wetting a line. Being cooped up for most of the winter has a lot to do with that. And spring is a great time to fish because bass and other game species are moving shallow where they become more vulnerable to the average fisherman.

During the fall, however, game fish again move shallow, but for a very different and important reason: During the spring, their primary motive is to spawn. During the fall, all they’re thinking about is putting on their winter fat.

All those little fish they spent so much time making and guarding during the spring are nothing more than delicious, bite-sized morsels during the fall, and the truth is, they don’t care who made them.

These bait fish of various species, but mostly shad around here, travel around in tightly-packed pods that can number in the thousands. There is some safety in numbers, but this natural instinct also makes it much easier for bigger fish to find and attack them.

Because the food these little fellers eat is found on or near the surface, these massive groups of synchronized swimmers are silhouetted against a clear sky like a flashing neon sign that says “eat here.”
There is no more predictable pattern at any time of year. I’d be hard pressed to pick just two baits that I would call best for the spring, but during the fall I can do so with great confidence. These baits not only are the best, they are designed to be fished in a way that anyone can master in a few minutes, regardless their experience.

One is a Rat-L-Trap. You can fish just about any size and color of this lipless bait, and the other similar baits by other manufacturers, and catch some fish, but by far, the best size is a one-quarter-ounce with chrome sides and a blue back.

And you can fish it a few different ways, but by far, the best way is to bring it back about as fast as you can. They are wind resistant and very easy to cast long distances on either baitcasting or spinning equipment, using 10- or 12-pound test line.

The other is a Mepps or Rooster Tail in-line spinner, again in one-quarter ounce. Choose the whiter or lighter colors. Sometimes, when it is overcast, those with a gold blade work better, but bass and other game fish bust minnow pods most frequently when it is clear, so in-line spinners with a chrome blade are best.

In contrast, in-line spinners are best fished slowly, just fast enough to make the blade rotate, and the best equipment to cast them is a spinning outfit with 10-pound-test line. It, too, is very easy to cast long distances and all you have to do is bring them back slowly and steadily. If you bring them back slowly, they won’t twist the line, either, so you don’t need a swivel and all those extra knots that could break. Just tie them directly to the line.

You may have noticed that you can fish both baits quite well on a spinning outfit with 10-pound-test line, and that’s really what I’d recommend, but I’d like to stress that the reel you choose should have a fast retrieve rate of 6-1 or better for the Rat-L-Traps. For this bait, speed kills, and you can always slow down for the in-line spinners, if that is what the fish prefer.

These two baits are so great, because they closely resemble the action, color, flash and size of the young-of-the-year minnows, especially during October and November, when this kind of fishing is at its peak.

With just one rod and two simple baits, you can go out and catch fish all day long by simply moving from pod to pod. These pods not only are highly visible and attractive to gluttonous game fish; it is simple for a fisherman to see which ones are being ravaged because of the splashy surface shows these game fish perform as they tear into them with predatory exuberance.

It may be not only the easiest, but the best fishing of the year.

Sand Eels As A Fishing Bait

Sand Eels

An eel-like fish which swim in large shoals, that’s the sand eel. They are abundant and an important part of the fish food chain. The sand eel is a bait fish that every one bait fishing knows about but I believe few realise the potential of. Sand eels often catch more fish than any other bait, just ask the guys down south or in Wales.

Exactly why the sand eel is such a popular ‘bait fish’ amongst the predators in the sea is hard to know. It seems to account for most species when used as bait especially the likes of Bass, Mackerel, Pollack Garfish, Trout and even Salmon.

The sand eel can be fished in several different ways and are normally best fished as a ‘live bait’. It can be hooked through the mouth – up through the head, through the back, through the tail or through the skin on the kneck. I don’t think personally it matters too much how the hook it set as long as the sand eel stays alive and looks natural. Different species of fish will attack and take a bait in various ways.

Finding sand eels can sometimes prove hard but by asking about in your own local area you might find a boat, or tackle shop that can supply you. Otherwise it means gathering your own. The effort in gathering your own is well worth it because of the effectiveness of this great bait!

The best methods to present sand eels are by using them under a float or on a long snood on a bottom rig. The hooks most folk use are often circle hooks for bottom fishing and normal single or triple hooks when fished under a float. Sand eel will catch most of what we call our ‘sporting’ fish in this country, especially the infamous Bass.

A ‘best buy’ for keeping your sand eels alive is a bait bucket, there are one or two very good ones available from good tackle shops. The Salt Bucket by Shakespeare at around £18.00 is ideal for your live sand eels utilising an aeration pump. It has it’s own pouch for an aerator pump, has a lid which helps to keep the sun from cooking your eels and also stops them from jumping out! It can also be used for storage of baits such as crab, ragworm and lug worm. It’s easy enough to wash it out and it is also collapsible. You can pick up a battery operated pump for around the £9 mark. Sand eel will quickly die if not kept in oxygen aerated water but do watch the temperature as you don’t want your hard efforts ending up as cooked fish!

You can keep sand eels in tanks at home but it does get rather involved and I aren’t able to go into the method here. Any eels that do die on you, then freeze them down and be sure NOT to let any stay in your bait bucket if they are dead as they WILL kill off the others.

Bass is thee sporting fish in British Waters now and has certainly captured the imagination of a lot of anglers over the last few years. Most of the anglers I know love spinning for them using poppers, plugs, feathers or spinners and some are even starting to fly fish for them. Another very successful method used for Bass fishing in particular, is dead bait spinning and this is a method I would highly recommend.

There are a lot of benefits to using this method. You need to present the sand eel like you would a popper or plug, as an injured fish, nothing too hard in that and you get scent, colour, look and feel as an added bonus. Presenting them like this gives you the same options as using poppers etc, you can move about searching for your Bass whether it be along a surf beach, among rock gullies or between sand banks.

Just mount the dead eel on your hook by passing the hook through it’s mouth and making sure the hook comes out through it’s stomach and use a bit of elasticated cotton to secure it…simplicity itself.

There is another method and that is to wrap the sand eel in a slice of squid and secure the squid with a bit of elasticated cotton, leaving the head and tail of the sand eel protruding. This method helps to protect the eel and it should keep a lot longer on the hook before having to change it. Use a small weight on the end of your line, you can get small spinning weights which prevent the dreaded line twist. A hook snood as long as possible to comfortably use to a decent sized hook, add your bait, most species have larger mouths than we tend to give them credit for and away you go.

Remember that Bass are a ‘sporting’ fish and as such are used to chasing their prey. They will often be found round rocks, on the downside of a sand bank waiting for their next meal to show itself. Don’t be afraid to vary your retrieval rate, you would be surprised at the speed bass, mackerel etc can move at. You will often see a ‘swirl’ next to your bait as you retrieve, don’t stop, keep the retrieve the same, if the fish doesn’t hit your bait straight away, stop the retrieve for about 10 seconds then start again, this is when a bass will often take.

Sand eel is an excellent sea fishing bait.

Happy fishing.

Mobile phones- A necessity for life

Mobile phones- A necessity for life

Article by Andrena Markley









Mobile phones now became a necessity for life, without this thin gadget, we could not be able to think ourselves as complete. In our day-to-day life, we need mobile phones for quick appointment, dealing with clients etc. Mobile phone is a fundamental tool communication throughout the world

Mobile phone is not just an electronic gadget today, and no one is able to define in one way about the usage of mobile phones. With the advent of technology, the mobile phones are becoming a rage among the common people. The mobile phones are not used as just communication tools these days but are also considered as devices which have strong communication networks along with the other functionalities such as audio solutions, FM radio, camera features for clicking pictures at any moment, any time.

Earlier, people used to have mobile phones only for receiving and making of calls, sending and receiving messages etc. like what many of us might have done done with them in the past time. A revolutionary change of using mobile phones makes a huge difference among the thought and perception of the people.

Mobile phones make difference because they help us to stay connected with a person with whom we want to talk. Earlier, long way distances made it impossible to know about our near-and-dear ones’ whereabouts and health. But hopefully in this time of globalisation and mobile phone communication, we can come closer irrespective of the distance involved places within a few moments. Now our world has became a global village because now we can talk to our loved ones from any where.

One of the most sensational happenings that has been made possible by the mobile phones is that they have helped us to take some of the telephonic or distant interviews easily without getting any kind of distance obstructions and the interviewer can even easily get to know about the result of the interview over the mobile phone.

Mobile phones facilitate deals for the business associates. Most of the dealings, clients problems or grievances, can be sorted out by this tiny gadget called a mobile phone.

Today’s latest mobile phones have so many features that may people enjoy using them. These mobile phones can give driving directions, hook up to the email through the internet, can allow any one to download his favourite songs and can also tell them what time it is on the other side of the world. Even they have the features like a notepad and an alarm clock that can make our life so much easier.

As every one of us know that mobile phones are useful and popular but there are still some problems. When any one is using a number, he feels that he must have some privacy and that his number should be harder for a stranger to find. On the other hand, probably he must realise that it is harder to trace an unknown number that comes in his line. In this case, he needs to know how to trace that unknown number, he may do a phone number search through a reverse phone look up to the service to get details about any calling person.

There are most probably two types of deal options in the world of mobile phones, one is ‘pay as you go phones’ and the another one is ‘contract phones’. In ‘pay as you go phones ‘connection, a user has to pay that much amount of money which he has used and in the ‘contract phones’ connections, a user has to pay the billed amount at the end of the month. Both the connections have their set of advantages and disadvantages.

Over all tariffs on mobile phones are vast and varied which can affect the user that how much he fork out on calls and texts each month if he is roaming across the networks. Whatever would be the charges of mobile phones, but people still have to use mobiles because they are now fundamental tools for communication throughout the world.

The New CBO Budget Numbers Are In And The New CBO Budget Numbers Are Not Good

The New CBO Budget Numbers Are In And The New CBO Budget Numbers Are Not Good

Article by Bruno Korschek









From a historical point of view, we are in the midst of three history making upheavals that will have long term impacts throughout the world, certainly interesting times. The first upheaval is the earthquake disaster in Japan and what the recovery time and costs will do to the world economy. Second, the quest for freedom in the Middle East and how this quest is likely to have both good and bad consequences for various parts of the world including the U.S. And finally, the financial integrity disintegration of the United States economy through the mismanagement of the country’s financial health by the political class.

This article concerns the last history making event, the financial destruction of the United States. The Associated Press reported on March 19, 2011 that a new evaluation of the Obama administration’s long term budget by the Congressional Budget office (CBO) revealed that we are much closer to our financial collapse than even the most pessimistic among us could have thought. Before going into the details of the article, let’s review where we know our national financial health is today:

– The Federal government national debt is around TRILLION and climbing rapidly.

– This debt places an average debt burden on each U.S. household of about 2,000.

– The February, 2011 monthly incremental debt was about 5 billion or about ,000 per household. In other words, in February, each American household was responsible for ,000 that the Federal government spent that it did not have the tax revenue to cover.

– In the past four years that the Democrats controlled Congress, the national debt rose over TRILLION.

Nasty, nasty stuff. However, now the CBO has released its latest estimates and they are not good:

– Obama’s original budget estimate called for an additional .2 TRILLION worth of debt over the next ten years or about ,000 per U.S.household.

– However, the CBO estimates that this is a very, very optimistic number based on some faulty assumptions and that the increase in the national debt is likely to be .3 TRILLION higher or .5 TRILLION.

– Thus, between the existing TRILLION and the additional .5 TRILLION debt that the Obama budget will incur, every U.S. household will be on the hook for about 4,000 of the national debt within ten years.

– This debt will be more than one and half times the size of one year’s gross domestic product. In other words, the country would have to work more than 18 months to pay off the debt and not spend any money on anything else including food, products, services, etc.

– The new CBO numbers estimate the Obama Care will also be billion more expensive than previously hyped by the administration, substantially reducing any positive budget effects from the legislation, one of its main selling points originally.

– The Obama administration estimates that the deficit will eventually be reduced to about 3% of the GDP number but the CBO disagrees, estimating that the deficit will never get below 4% of the GDP which would still make it unacceptably high.

– The difference in estimates between the CBO and the administration is that the CBO does not believe in the “rosy” assumptions in the President’s budget, it does not believe that the government will collect all of the increased tax dollars it assumed, it does not believe that the political class has the will power to reduce Medicare payments (which it has never had int he past), and there is no substantiation for “unspecified bipartisan financing,” all very legitimate disagreements to have with Obama’s budget.

– The White House does not dare disagree with the CBO estimates or methodology since it used the CBO estimates to sell in its own health care reform legislation. Thus, if they vilify these CBO budget numbers they nullify the Obama Care numbers.

– The situation has gotten so bad that 64 Senators, 32 from each political party, recently signed a bipartisan letter to Obama that called on him to take the lead in developing a strategic and comprehensive budget reduction plan along the lines of Obama’s own deficit reduction commission’s findings, the very commission that Obama commissioned and then almost completely ignored.

We are witnessing historical financial distress and the administration does not even acknowledge how bad the situation is by developing outrageous spending plans that add TRILLIONS to the deficit while ignoring its own commission that would help fix the problem. Both political parties, as witnessed by the Senators’ letters, realize that the problem needs urgent attention. Only the White House and the current resident seem to see no urgency in this area.

If they do not reverse their attitudes, take the lead, and make some bold and courageous moves, we are likely to end up like the economy of Ireland, whose status was reviewed in the March 11, 2011 issue of The Week Magazine. According to an article by Colin Barr of Fortune that was summarized in that issue of The Week:

– Ireland has imposed two years of painful austerity on its citizens for its mismanagement of the economy.

– As a result, wages are falling, unemployment has tripled to 13%, and younger Irish citizens are leaving the country in larger and larger numbers. Investors who are buying Irish government bonds are insisting on a return of at least 8%.

– This is what has happened in Greece, has happened in Ireland and other European countries who let their government spending get out of control. Economic hardship, as the interest on the piles of debt get higher and higher and standards of living get lower and lower. It is a fate that we face unless the President somehow does a turnaround and starts leading for once and stops touring other countries, stops playing golf so often, and stops being just a typical Chicago politician.

And it is not as if most of the heavy lifting has not already been done for him. His deficit reduction commission appears to have done a fine job and detailed analysis of how to get spending under control. The Cato Institute has gone through the current Federal government budget line by line and has identified hundreds of billions of dollars that could be pared from the Federal government without undue harm to ordinary Americans. Think tanks, both convservative and liberal, have done the same. All that is needed is a leader, not a politician, to lead the way.

A famous Chinese saying goes as follows: “May you live in interesting times.” On the surface this looks like a positive thought and intent, may you have an interesting journey through life. However, if you do a little research on the saying, it really is meant to be a curse and to be read as follows: “May you experience much upheaval and trouble in your life.” From Japan to the Middle East to the precarious financial situation our politicians have put us into, we are experiencing much upheaval and trouble, neither of which will enhance our individual freedom and liberty in the long run.

For as the government’s financial situation collapses, it will draw down/confiscate more and more wealth from its citizens in a desperate last attempt to prop up the financial system of the country which is buckling under over TRILLION worth of debt. When government gets into the confiscation game to cover its own incompetent bungling, you are no longer living in a free country. Interesting, and troubling, and sad, and as the CBO numbers illustrate, not good.

Overweight Women Dating – Tips for Online Dating Success and Safety

Overweight Women Dating – Tips for Online Dating Success and Safety

Article by David Kamau









Are you a big beautiful woman looking for success in the world of online dating? If so, you have made a wise choice as you are proactively looking for a means of boosting your success by engaging in a little research prior to signing on with a dating site.

This is most definitely a wise move because rushing into the dating scene will often not prove to be the right choice when looking for dating success. Rather, it is best to take a step back and look towards the possible ways of improving your dating success. Again, a little clarity on the issue of overweight women dating will improve the odds that the dating experience is one that is positive.

It is best to clearly understand what type of overweight women dating site (also known as big women dating sites) you are signing on with. Some of these sites are more designed for the “hook up” culture and if that is not what you are interested in, you probably would not want to sign on with such a site at all. It simply will not be a positive experience on any level.

Look towards those sites that are designed to promote relationships and traditional dating if that is what you are truly interested in. However, if “hooking up” is what you want, by all means go right ahead.

When you make initial contact with someone on a big women dating site, you will probably meet the person through instant messenger systems or other such technology. That means you will not be seeing the person or reading body language.

As such, you cannot get the gauge of the person you would if you were looking at the person in real life. So, hold off making too many opinions on the individual’s interest level until you speak on the phone or meet in person.

This does not mean, however, that you should rush into meeting or calling the person. You will want to get a better gauge of the individual prior to making any determinations. This way, you can enhance your safety online.

Keep in mind the fact that the vast majority of men that frequent overweight women dating sites are not problematic, but there are the occasional difficult cases out there you need to be somewhat wary of.

Some overweight women dating sites will offer internal headset based “phone” services with their instant messaging. Such add-ons are a huge help for those looking to talk with someone while also maintaining privacy and safety levels.

Whenever you do make contact with the individual, try to be open and certainly avoid being standoffish. This is an attitude some will take with online dating sites due to their lack of familiarity with the dating format.

While it is understandable you will want to keep your distance from a stranger at first, you do not want to be so standoffish that you are not easy to approach. This will undermine your ability to meet someone significantly. That is why such an attitude is best to avoid when signing on with an overweight women dating site.

Motor Home in the Ozarks

Motor Home in the Ozarks

Article by Andrew Stratton







The Ozarks of southern Missouri and northern Arkansas have lots to offer, from great hiking and fishing, to Branson shows, water parks and shopping. There is fun to be had for the whole family in the Ozarks.

If you head south through Missouri, you’ll come to a spot where the wide, flat farmlands break into the misty green rolling hills of the Ozark Mountains. The Ozarks are not actually mountains, but a huge plateau that extends from southern Missouri into northern Arkansas, and parts of eastern Oklahoma and Kansas. Aside from its natural beauty, the Ozarks region offers lots of fun for everybody, including great motor home enthusiasts.

Lake of the Ozarks is the number one destination in the Ozark Mountains. This is because there’s so much do to: golfing, boating, hiking, water sports, fishing… the list goes on. There are places for shopping or dining in town, as well as state parks along the edge of the lake where you can get away from everything.

This is a great family-oriented vacation spot where you can have the best of everything. You can get a camping spot on the edge of a hill surrounded by trees, and it’s just a short drive to miniature golf, go-cart riding and water slides. There are lots of great water parks in the area, which are always a big hit with the kids.

There are several very popular motor home sites near the lake.

– Lazy River RV Resort in Eldon, Missouri. This campground is located on the Osage River, just a few minutes drive from the lakefront. They have hiking, water sports and golf just minutes from your camp site.

– Cross Creek RV Park. This is a big campground geared toward family fun, with lots of activities and amenities. They have more than 70 sites with full hook-ups, but it’s still a good idea to call ahead; it fills up in the summer months.

Branson – The New Home Of Country Music

For all you country fans out there, Branson is the new Mecca. But, not only does Branson have lots of shows, it has other great things to offer, like good food, museums, theme parks, and nightlife. Branson prides itself on having food from all over the world in its buffets, and lots to do once the sun goes down.

Of course, for lots of us, we’d rather cast a line into the lake and wait for a bite. Branson has great fishing too, some of the best in the United States. There are three good-sized lakes around the Branson area that have boat rentals, great fishing and water skiing.

For RV campers, there are lots of great places to stay around Branson. A few of the most popular include Branson Shenanigans RV Park, Branson View Campground and ABC Campground. Be sure to call ahead for reservations.

Get into the Wilderness – The Boston Mountains

If you want to get away from things, Arkansas’s Boston Mountains are spectacular. These lush, green mountains are a wonderful place to see in your motor home adventures, with lots of places to stop and hike, fish or take in the view. There is a Boston Mountains Scenic Loop that winds its way all through the beautiful mountain landscape, where you’ll see bare cliff-sides, trickling mountain streams, and bridges that soar above the mountain landscape.

The Overland RV Park offers some of the best motor home accommodations in the Boston Mountains, and there are lots of sights to see not far away, like Lake Fort Smith State Park and Lake Lou Emma Dam.

The Ozarks are a great place to experience real mountain culture, see pretty scenery and take the family out on some unforgettable adventures.

The Secret to Shaving Strokes for a Solid Player

The Secret to Shaving Strokes for a Solid Player

Article by Golfdiscountsale2







The other day, my friend and I were having coffee and he was whining about how his game has become stale. He really believes he has reached a plateau where there are no more strokes to be gained during a round of golf. He was depressed, to say the least, but he was also wrong.My buddy is no Sam Snead (and neither am I) but he’s a solid player. (Taylormade R9 Forged Irons) His drives are usually reasonable in both distance and trajectory, meaning he doesn’t hook or slice anymore than the rest of us. His mid-game is good, he knows how to choose and use his long irons, his close game is very good and he can get out of a bunker when he finds himself in one. Now if you’re a good putter already, this probably won’t work for you. But if you normally get on the green in regulation and then have to putt more than twice to get into the cup, well, maybe you, too, could shave some strokes off your game by simply improving your putting abilities.What I suggested to him is something I think we can all learn from. If you four or five putt most of the greens on your course, (Cleveland CG15 Black Pearl Wedge) you’re adding a lot of strokes to your overall score. My suggestion to my friend was that rather than try to improve the other parts of his game, if he would simply putt one less stroke (on those four and five putt holes) he’d shave a significant amount of strokes off his game. If he could take one putting stroke off each hole, he’d save 18 strokes!There are a gazillion tips on putting–some work and some are just goofy–but nothing will improve your putting more than practice. My friend never spends time on the practice green and it shows when he’s on the course. But in his case–and in a lot of other cases, I suspect–there is really no other part of his game that he can significantly improve. And, frankly, he doesn’t need to spend time on his drive–he’s got that nailed. (Callaway X-22 Irons) He needs to spend time putting. That’s what’s killing his score card.If you know–or even suspect–that your putt is poor, get off the driving range and get on the putting green. You will be amazed at how fast your putting can improve when you spend just a little time each week practicing those putts. That improvement will carry over to your next round of golf, too, and you’ll see strokes simply fading away. Practice those putts!

Tame Your Slice In Three Easy Steps

Tame Your Slice In Three Easy Steps

Article by Jack Moorehouse







Copyright (c) 2011 Jack Moorehouse

Hooking and slicing can get you into trouble—especially off the tee. Even players with low golf handicaps find it hard to go low if they’re constantly getting themselves into trouble. In addition to costing you strokes, slicing or hooking can ruin your position for your next shot. That makes it harder to greens hit in regulation (GIR). Fewer GIRs mean fewer birdies and pars, and higher scores. While we see more slicers than hookers in our golf lessons, one thing is certain: Eliminate a hook or a slice takes a little time and some work. Trying the golf tips given below will make the transition easier.

Taming Your SliceGolfers slice when the clubhead is open at impact. An open clubhead causes the clubface to cut across the ball at impact, putting sidespin on it. Sidespin causes the ball to curve in the direction the clubface is pointing.

To correct a slice:

Strengthen Your GripTo adopt a stronger grip, turn your left hand (right hand for left-handers) so you can see three knuckles at address. This promotes a closed clubface at impact.

Close Your StanceAn open stance causes the clubface to cut across the ball. Remedying this is simple. Turn your body a little to the right to set up an in-to-out swing path. By turning your body to the right, you close your stance

Rotate Your Right ArmsWith your body closed to the target line, your right arm will rotate over your left as you swing past your chest. This also promotes a closed clubface at the moment of impact.

Anti-slice Drill:Using a 7-iron, grip the club extra lightly. Set it down with the toe of the clubhead perpendicular to the ground. From there, swing the club halfway back and halfway through. As you swing through, let the toe of the clubhead hit the ground first. Feel the head take over as your forearms rotate through impact.

Taming Your HookA closed clubface at impact, on the other hand, triggers a hook. A closed clubface causes the clubhead to come too far inside. The key to curing a hook is to make contact with a slightly more open clubface.

Weaken Your GripTo tame a hook, you’ll want to “weaken” your grip. To do that, turn your left hand left (right if you’re a left hander) so you can see two knuckles at address.

Open Your StanceJust as you needed to close your stance to beat a slice, so to do you need to open your stance to produce a fade. So turn your body to the left slightly (left-handers turn right). That sets up a slightly out-to-in swing path.

Hold Off Arm RotationWith your body open to the target line, your chest turns open faster on the downswing. This enables you to hold off arm rotation for a bit. It also keeps the face open for a shot that starts left and curves right slightly.

Anti-Hooking DrillUse a 7-iron, set up with your back foot turned out about forty-five degrees and the ball positioned forward. Now make relatively easy swings, using your shoulders and upper body to do all the work. As you increase speed and improve ball flight, use longer clubs for the drill.

Hooking and slicing can get you into serious trouble—especially off the tee. That can ruin a hole and add strokes to your golf handicap. Taming your hook or slice using the golf tips described above will help you hit more fairways. That will put you into position to hit more GIRs. Do that and you’ll card more birdies and pars, and lower your golf handicap a couple of strokes.
