 Well, for a lot of us, the only thing keeping us from the Birchmont is that nasty slice, and this week's golf tip, Mike Klebaugh from Pocahama Golf Course, has some things you can do at home to straighten out your swing. Today, we're going to talk about a common golf issue, the slice, and things we can do to make it better. Number one, let's look at our grip. A lot of slicers have a very neutral grip or even a weak grip. We want to make sure that for right-handed golfers, the left-hand grip is a little bit stronger. The thumb is going to be to the right of the grip. Our right hand is going to slide in here, and our thumb will be to the left side. But now we're going to talk about what happens in the swing. A lot of us start our downswing with our arms, and they move away from us, causing us to pull across. Grab a towel or maybe a head cover, and for right-handed golfers, tuck it under your right shoulder, left-handers, put it under your left shoulder, and make your good swings. What happens if we make that arm move? We're going to lose the towel or head cover. So feel like it stays closer to your body. Once you've mastered those, it's time to move to the range and try it with some golf balls.
