Golf TIP # 1

A
n easy drill for the high handicappers to help their slice!

My first tip is kind of a little drill for the high handicappers to help their slice. The next time you are on the driving range, bring a 2x4 board along with you. What you want to do is set your 2x4 parallel to the target line and put the ball so there is no more than a half an inch from the toe of the club to the board. Start hitting little chip shots at first then gradually lengthen your swing as you become more comfortable. What the board does is it prevents the club from taking that outside in swing path that produces a slice or a shank. The board will make you swing from the inside of the path line, thus producing pure shots with better trajectory.

Next Tip: Body movement
