I am truely the best at slices. I can slice the ball so hard with my driver and 3 wood i think i should get a reward. I played 29 holes sunday and i hit the fairway 3 times. Talk about bringing me to my knees i couldn't wait to get off that course.

My guess is that, like many high handicappers, you suffer from an extremely weak grip. That is, if you're a righty golfer, the thumb on your left hand resides on the left side of your grip. You have to turn that bad boy so it is coming from the right side and your hand is bent like you're turning the throttle on a motorcycle. Also, make sure your grip pressure is in your fingers rather than in the palms of your hands. The last 3 fingers of your left hand and the middle two of your right should be your pressure points.

3/14 is still 20% which isn't too horrible. At least your misses are consistently right which allows you to aim left and have it come back toward the fairway. I have my misses left and right and can't eliminate one side. Pull hooks and push slices are far worse than just normal slices.

You are going to be a great at what every you try because you already have the positive attitude, just look at the name of your tread.

use the slice to your advantage.

1) tee the ball on the right side of the tee box and aim left and for a quick fix close your club face until you can somewhat control your slice and it become a fade.
2) check your grip
3) swing path
4) try to hit draws
5) close the club face at impact
6) keep you head behind the ball
7) have fun

    • Day 21, May 25.  Hit "the whole bucket" as practice today after reviewing my Skillest lesson.  I think something crept into my swing last week that wasn't in the lesson, so I went back to the lesson and renewed my focus.  Each ball was a minute or so, 2-3 slow rehearsal backswings and checking the mirror for how far back I was going. "The whole bucket" means every ball I have in the bin at my indoor practice room;  I counted when I put them back, that's six dozen plus six total.  That is probably more full swings than I took over the weekend (excluding range warm-ups) in two rounds!  But these were all with a 6-iron.
    • Day 265 5-25 Hit some balls just to see where i was, no "thoughts' except getting arms in front. Did some recording where i focused on getting chest through and arms in front. 
    • Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.  
    • Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
