Beginners Golf Lessons

The clubface being open to the swing path may be the technical cause of all slices but it.s the outside-to-inside swing that makes the slice so complicated and so difficult to cure. An outside-to-inside swing will in most circumstances encourage you to hit the ball with an open clubface producing a slice. Yes, you could hit a pull or a pull hook, but this occurs far less frequently than the slice.

For most golfers both the open clubface and the outside-to-inside swing work together to cause the slice. If you cure just one factor you will most likely still slice! This is what makes the slice so difficult to cure. If all slices were hit with a straight swing path (just with the clubface open), the slice would be a relatively easy problem to cure.

As in any athletic sport, certain key fundamentals of the golf short game must be practiced and the athlete trains almost daily to get it right. Basketball players train to dribble the ball and football players train to catch the ball. Baseball players have spring training and in golf, they have golf swing training.

The ability to properly swing a golf club to obtain maximum speed and accuracy is the most important fundamental part of the game. Many weekend golfers are told they will never get better if they do not play more than once a week and, while there is some truth to that, they do not need to be on a golf course for golf swing training. There are driving ranges and even the backyard. You can get some golf swing training just by swinging the club in the yard.

Do you like golf? I know I do, but not for the reasons most people think. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy driving the ball from the tee and seeing it sail 300 yards down the center of the fairway. I like hitting a 3-iron 250 yards to the green, and I really like sinking 30-yard putts. But that isn’t why I play golf.

I play for the stress relief! Have you ever heard the phrase, “A bad day on the golf course is better than a good day at work?”
