Spend several hours at a golf facility or driving range and you will see several different types of swings, postures, stances, grips and so on. One common theme however among high handicappers is how they practice their golf game. What do I mean?

Here’s Bob The Shanker’s routine:

1. gets golf balls

2. hits some wedges, irons but 60% of his practice is with his driver

3. keeps same bad swing flaws

4. never works on anything specific

Check that with the practice routine of Tiger Woods:

6:30 a.m. – Cardio

Slice is described to be a shot that started off slightly to the left then swerving to the right in the air. Those new to this game often have this fault and it tends to be frustrating. The slice sends the ball deep into the rough and it’s very uncontrollable. The slice is even more common than another golfer’s mistake called the hook, to which the ball does the opposite through the air.
