In the last year, my golf game has been hindered by a horrible slice. With the impending varsity season looming large, I have been working with a swing coach at my local country club. His name is Trevor Jaycox. He has encouraged my use of a fade with my irons, and is currently helping me with my slice. I still seem to want to fade the ball a bit, but It is getting better. What I have been doing is what he says Greg Norman did when HE reworked his swing. In order to hit a draw rather than a slice, I tee the ball up on the side of a hill (as a drill of course

) and swing "with the hill". By this he means swing along the countour of the hill, the swing outward to create a spin on the ball moving right to left and tumbling slightly. Seeing as I have only been working with this for 2 weeks, I have only hit 2 slices (both in a lesson/round with him this afternoon) and am very happy. It is, as Trevor put it
"Day and night with your swing, Adam."

All in all I did not play my afternoon nine well, but I am progressing. By golf season (Aug. 25th) I should be more consistent. Can't wait for the season to start and to join the NENY JPGA next spring!!!!

Cheers, Adam

If I ever get happy with myself for finishing 12th or 15th, someone needs to put my clubs away and I'll take up tiddlywinks.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By gbogey ·

      I think there's a difference between taking time over the ball and taking time to play a shot, at least IMO. One thing I've noticed in a few guys I play with who take a long time over the ball to pull the trigger, is that their backswing is really fast and I think it makes it harder to have a smooth rhythmic down swing. It's almost like they take so long to swing that when they do they speed to catch up. Doesn't lead to good golf IMO.

      As long as it's from a reputable seller it should be just fine. Just make sure the picture of the weight looks the right shaped weight for that specific driver head. You can even weigh it yourself when you get it if you want to be extra sure. Personally I don't consider $15 for something that can greatly change your impact and delivery characteristics to be "not cheap" but that's just my opinion. Especially since you know it's bringing it closer to what you were fit into and you're already saving a bunch of money by going the used/prior model year route too.
