I've been hitting the ball off the toe and i can't seem to stop it. I've tried standing closer to the ball or setting the ball off the heel at address and nothing seems to be working. I'm not slicing the ball i usually miss left (which is normal for me.)

any thoughts???

It sounds to me as if you are hitting the ball with an "outside to inside" swing. This is most likely being caused by coming over the top on the downswing. I have the same problem and here is what I check to make sure that I'm doing:

1. Check grip pressure. If I'm gripping the club too tightly then I'll come over the top.

2. Check alignment. I have a tendency to have my feet and shoulders on different lines. For example, I tend to set up with my shoulders open and my feet square or vice versa.

3. Check ball position. If the ball is too far forward in your stance, your shoulders will be open.

4. Make sure you rotate on the backswing with the arms. If the arms don't stick with the chest then they''ll go more straight back and you'll come over the top.

Hope these help.

    • Believe it or Not! I am so excited.  Yesterday, on a hot and windy day, I played a 9 hole course in Claflin. Kansas. 1st 9 = 54 2nd 9 = 43   I am going to try and go back out late this afternoon and play 18 holes at Hays, Kansas.  My 3 hybrid came in yesterday and I am really anxious to try it out.  WooHoo 🥳 🙌 👏  Retired Old Man, Terry

    • First, you have some great choices in there.  Event Horizon remains a birdie movie for me.  It still finds its way onto the October options as Halloween approaches.  It fits well. I continue to forget that Arrival, when being referenced, is not the Charlie Sheen movie I saw in middle school. Lastly, what rating are you giving HG2?  Was it a par?  Bogey?  I gather from your review it didn't earn a hole in one on a par-4.  (I have yet to decide how I'm prioritizing that on my movie queue, and if I should even bother, so I'm looking forward to reviews here)
    • I loved Arrival. Annihilation is a good one. Event Horizon is also one of my classic sci-fi favorites. And now for something completely different: Happy Gilmore 2. I watched HG1 as an adult, and it was alright, but probably would have been better if I watched it as a kid. HG2 had some good parts, but overall I wasn't a big fan. I knew there would be pros in the movie, but I imagined some cameos, not them being straight up actors through large parts of the movie. They're not actors and it showed. I could've done with a lot less of them and John Daly was maybe the best of the pros. The Maxi part was boring.
