Absolutely. I think you'd enjoy the tournament and I know I'd be okay vouching for you character. -

I would take an oatmeal cookie if one was presented, but it is not the one I would go for. Sorry @ChetlovesMer My short list Peanut Butter Cookies Snickerdoodles Molasses Cookies White chocolate macadamia nut cookies (probably the only thing good left at Subway) -

I would if I wasn't going to be in Pinehurst during that time. That sounds fun. Keep me posted in the future if the dates do not align with my yearly golf trip. This sounds like a fun time. Thanks for the offer! -

Not necessarily. You can hit up on the ball, and if you take a 10-degree driver and close it down to 5 degrees and swing out like 10 degrees. You can hit some nasty snap hooks. (been there and done that 😉). Might not help with the duck hook. Swinging up more can cause a person to swing out, which will cause it to hook more. Swinging down and left (a fade or slice path) feel might be better. I had a nasty hook for a while, to play functional golf, I had to feel like I was swinging like 20 degrees outside to in through impact. I would hit it straight. The swing felt like I was hitting down, but the ball went normal trajectory. Feel isn't real. I wouldn't suggest mechanisms that cause the ball to draw more to someone who is duck hooking the ball. Again, to the OP, create a My Swing thread, and lets some of us get some eyes on the swing for more concrete suggestions. -

@HitemHard, The first thing that I am going to say is, "feel is not real". This has been proven true with video, and now systems like GEARS which can accurately measure and track the golf swing. A lot of what you said will likely not translate to the original poster unless they are fluent in biomechanics. This is the struggle with those who are technically knowledgeable trying to explain to people who have no knowledge of the subject. Talking in terms of external rotation, and supination, is all and good, but it does nothing to give a proper visual or is even relevant to someone who actually wants to fix their swing. I have been through many lessons with a great instructor, and watched good YouTube sources, and believe me they DUMB DOWN the technical aspects of the golf swing because I and the rest of us do not need it. That being said, I would disagree with this. It probably is dependent on the golfer. example, I am very right side dominant. So, I feel things much more in terms of right wrist angles. This means that I control the clubface by feeling the general position of my hands and my right hand. So, my existence disproves this statement as the only way to control the golf club. Yea, I am going to disagree here. First again, feel is not real. For some, the feel of the left hand pointed to the sky will produce a club position way out of position. For me, I had to feel like the back of my left hand faced away from my body. On video, this got the club in a good position. Again, feel is not real. I do not believe the body pulls the club through impact. PGA tour players get their hands down FAST from the top of the downswing. The hands need to accelerate to a high rate of speed before they start to slow down before the hands get through impact. This happens in a very short window. The hands are not passive. That all being said that entire post was pretty non-sensical to me. I think most people would struggle to understand it. To answer the OP's question. A slice and a pull are the same swing but with clubface control differences. If you square the face to the path, then you pull it. If you do not, then you slice it. The issue is a pathing issue. That can be caused by many things. As was posted above, having the OP start a My Swing thread, posting their swing would be more beneficial.
