Golf Instruction – How to Cure a Golf Slice



Is there anything more embarrassing to a golfer than the dreaded slice? I mean other than the total whiff, what golf event has you feeling the need to explain yourself to your playing partners. I’ve said or heard all of the excuses. Like someone blew a car horn, the dog was barking or even the crows were too loud to list a few. Embarrassing indeed. No wonder so many of us are saying, “Someone please help cure my slice!”

I remember my moment of desperation. I was playing a long par 3 when my attempt at a tee shot went terribly to the right. It started out briefly on the correct line, but then not far past the ladies tee it turned hard to the right. This was more than your normal slice. The ball seemed to turn nearly 90 degrees! What made it worse was that there were homes along the hole. This ball hit someone’s aluminum patio enclosure with such force it sounded like a gun shot. Folks all over the course took notice of the sound. Everyone within view was staring at me, the folks on the green, the next tee and the prior green. What a hopeless duffer.

I began in earnest to seek an effective golf slice cure. I bought books, read magazines, talked to my golf buddies, searched websites and even paid for lessons. They all offered good advice but I had little success in finding a slice correction. So I bought training gadgets and tools. Still little progress.

Then I came across a popular eBook a guy recommended to me during a golf tournament. It is written by Jack Moorehouse and has helped over 100,000 golfers improve their game.

You see what I learned is that it is not just a grip change, or just stance adjustment, or just a takeaway or a downswing correction that is needed. What I needed and was able to do with Jack’s help was work on all the swing components that factored into my striking the ball with an open clubface causing the slice. Eureka! I found a cure for a golf slice.

No longer would I have to aim far left and hope the ball stayed in play on the right somewhere. Golf has been a lot more fun for me since then!

Jack Moorehouse is considered one of the best golf guru’s in the country and he’s here to help you with his best-selling golf eBook, “How to Break 80…And Shoot Like the Pros.”

If you are really serious about fixing your slice I could not recommend any better source to you than “How to Break 80…”.

The best thing is that all of this help is less than most lessons with a pro, a single training aide or instructional DVD. And he is offering a 90-day money back guarantee, so if you don’t like the book simply return it. But, once you get into his drills, I highly doubt that you’ll need that guarantee.

Grooved Golf Swing Series – How To Get Back To Golf After A Lay Off



If you have not played golf for a period of time whether
due to work illness or injury, the situation is the same.

You wonder how you are going to play.

How many trips to the trees on the side of the fairways.

How many bunkers are you going to visit.

Whether you can still get out of a bunker.

Whether you can get off the tee, and how is your putting
going to be?

You are quite a serious golfer and you give much thought
about how you should return to this wonderful game.
What you decide to do is go to the practice fairway and hit
a heap of balls.

You go through the routine of starting with your pitching
wedge and then work up to your driver. So far so good and
you will certainly benefit. This is a good plan, but there is a better one.

During your session which you no doubt enjoyed,
you have probably hit too many balls and your
muscles are not up to it.

You will know this by how you
feel next day if you go out onto the course.
The very fine muscles have to have time to recover.
Until they do, you will play dreadfully.

OK, you still have to go out onto the course and get over
the mental block that is probably affecting your game.
Just feeling a bit negative.

If you are not feeling negative, you probably soon will be
as you duff and hit with hook and slice into the trouble on
each side.
If you dont do this, then well done.
Most of us will.

Then again you may have a great round on your initial
return to the game, but on your second, the wheels will
fall off. Has this ever happened to you?
It certainly has to me.
You become a little disheartened and you begin to dislike
the game a bit.
All this is leading up to a suggestion that you may find to
your liking.

You love playing golf dont you?

Well, why dont you go out onto the course straight away
and have a good time. Dont try to beat the world on this
round. Just enjoy yourself. Just relax.
However, take notice of where your weaknesses are. Where
the changes in your game have crept in during your absence.

Have a couple of rounds and write down your weaknesses.
THEN go to the practice fairway.

Now, you have a plan of attack.
Have a look at your first weakness.

Perhaps you are duffing your chips a bit.
Well, spend a practice session with your pitching wedge and hit
short shots, long shots, hit over imaginary bunkers, hit
high shots that stop quickly and so on.

Become totally confident with this important scoring iron again.
Then on your next practice session, address your next weakness.

Spend time on it and do not go on to the next
until you have mastered this aspect of your game to your
satisfaction.
OK, it takes a bit of time.
So does learning any skill, and
this one is one of the most difficult isnt it?

The time spent will return huge dividends.

Also, having a plan will strengthen your mental attitude
and you will play with much more confidence when you start
competitions and more serious play.

You will be able to
fill your mind with the good shots you hit at practice
making it impossible
for any negative thoughts to exist.

The Best Golf Instruction Books



Golf instruction books have been written for a long time. The Great Bobby Jones even recorded videos back in his day! Golf instruction books have played a vital role in teaching America how to play golf as well as teaching teachers how to teach the game. Many of today.s PGA Teaching Professionals have developed their current teaching methods with what they have gathered out of golf instructional books.

In 1946, On Learning Golf by Percy Boomer was released and quickly became one of the first “Instructional Bibles.” The infamous picture from this book is that Boomer that you could get a great feel for what should happen during the golf swing by attaching a weight to the end of a handkerchief and attempting to swing it.

Ben Hogan followed in 1957 with his classic book The Five Modern Fundamentals. This is one of the most recognized golf instruction books of all-time. Using the very detailed instructions, many teachers today still swear up and down that what is in this book is the gospel. Hogan spoke of the Grip, Set up and Posture, Backswing, Forward Swing and the Finish. In addition, Hogan wrote Power Golf.

When Jack Nicklaus released the first of his golf instruction books Golf My Way, it was a hit and became one of the first VHS golf tapes to be widely accepted.

The 1980.s and 1990.s saw the emergence of many nationally known teachers such as David Leadbetter, Jim McLean and Butch Harmon.

David Leadbetter is known for working with Nick Price and re-tooling Nick Faldo.s swing that allowed him to win multiple major championships including The Masters and British Open. David Leadbetter.s books include Faults and Fixes, Positive Practice, The Golf Swing and Quick Tips.

Dave Pelz is known for teaching and building the short game of his pupils who include Tom Kite, Colin Montgomery, Beth Daniel, Steve Elkington, Annika Sorenstam, and the late Payne Stewart. Pelz originally worked for NASA and brought his technical mind to golf. Pelz uses statistical data to better is students short game. Dave Pelz golf instruction books include Putt Like the Pros, The Short Game Bible and The Putting Bible.

Jim McLean had one of the most popular golf instruction books describing his “Eight Step Swing.” McLean also introduced the idea of the “X Factor” as a new teaching concept. His golf instruction books include The Eight Step Swing, Ultimate Drill Book and The Three Scoring Clubs. McLean.s students include Brad Faxon, Len Mattice, Cristie Kerr and Sergio Garcia.

Stan Utley has become another short game guru by reviving the short games of Peter Jacobson, Jay Haas and Darren Clarke. In addition, he has worked with Roland Thatcher on his putting and in turn he placed #2 on the 2007 Nationwide Tour Money List earning his PGA Tour Card. Stan Utley teaches swinging the club on a natural arc thus making the Putting Arc Deluxe one of the most popular golf instruction training aids. Utley.s golf instruction books include The Art of Putting and The Art of The Short Game.
