Imagine playing golf on a beautiful afternoon; the fairway gleams like a green sea before you, and then the terrible thing happens: your drive makes a disastrous veer right.



Nine times out of ten, that mythical beast, the slice, is what gets you. A slice generally occurs when the clubface strikes the ball at an angle, creating excessive, unwanted spin. The goal? To square up the clubface to the ball and send your shot directly down the fairway, like a laser splitting butter clean in half. Take a minute to practice your grip. Seriously, your grip can often be as telling as a poker hand. A weak grip-where the hands rotate toward the target-can be the silent culprit. Your knuckles should be saying hello. That is to say, grip the club so that you can see two to three of them. Think about shaking hands with an old friend rather than strangling a garden hose; your hold should balance firmness and flexibility. Imagine that you're about to take a photo, just for argument sake. Perfect posture is important. As you swing, move your weight to the front foot. Like an old grandfather clock, the pendulum moves back and forth in a smooth motion. That balance will take even the scrawniest of swings and make it more graceful than chaos.
