One thing I need to work on now is with the grip and swing change he implemented, I'm suddenly slicing my drives a considerable amount. Yesterday I did not mishit a single drive, but I was consistently slicing them. It was manageable for the most part, but I generally drove the ball pretty straight before the changes. I really need to get that fixed. I'm going to be playing two, maybe three rounds at TPC Las Vegas next month and I'm pretty sure it will be much easier if I'm in or near the fairway.

A nasty slice is my problem, which I know is from leaving face wide open but can't get a feel of closing the face correctly. I've been watching too many youtube videos and books, trying to change too many things at once and would rather go to an instructor to have them straighten me out a bit so I'm on the right path. That's where I'd like to have a launch monitor there for the lesson so I can see what I'm actually doing with my club path and face direction vs. what I feel. |

A traditional slice, which 90% of all golfers have, comes from a swing path that is out to in (in baseball parlance for a righty, swinging to left field) with an open clubface. A push-slice comes from an inside-to-out path. Both are compensations due to errors earlier in the swing, but a push slice can be fixed with a better release. Most golfers are terrified of actually releasing the clubhead, IMO due to the nature of short game instruction, which too often promotes a block release.

You need to up your sense of humor. It's actually NO (nitric), but it *is* needed for the signaling pathway to generate an erection.

It's certainly something any instructor worth their salt can fix. This is just a band-aid, but if you are out on the course and need to fix it right away (OB right), the easiest thought is to feel like you are reaching out and shaking hands with your target with your dominant (your right) hand while stepping forward. It gets you on your front foot and lets you turn the clubhead over. It's also called the Gary Player drill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60aG-QgAKKA

The Price Cutter Charity Classic started today here in Springfield. I'm going tomorrow to take it in. I'm a VIP I'm taking an old friend who's being treated for cancer. We met playing HS golf back in the 70s so old friend it is. His son died and then his wife died. Then when he moved away for a new job his whole team was fired. After that one of his dogs died and then he was diagnosed with cancer. True story

Highland Springs is a respectable track. The front nine is rough for high handicappers.
**** #18.

18 is a great finishing hole.

Anyone golfed in Las Vegas? I'm heading there in just over a month to play a couple of rounds at TPC Las Vegas. Probably will add in one more round somewhere else.
I've been to Vegas numerous times but never golfed there. I'm really looking forward to it.

Wynn CC, Shadow Creek, Bears best or if you are willing to drive 70 miles Wolf Creek, Falcon Ridge or Conestoga in Mesquite.

Can't afford Wynn or Shadow Creek. Bears Best is one we are considering. Wolf Creek is closed for maintenance when we are out there. I doubt we would make that drive anyway. This is a very large group.
