Make sure your club face is square.

PartyCrasher:\n\nThese answers are well thought out. But I would recommend a bit different set makeup for you. \n\nIrons: 5-Sand Wedge (56 degree SW).\n\nMake sure to get a cavity backed set, something with offset. If you tell the people at the golf store that you're looking for a forgiving set of irons that's cavity backed and offset, they'll be able to help you. \n\nWoods and hybrids:\n\nGet an 18 degree 5 wood, a 21 degree 7 wood, and two hybrid clubs (these are a cross between a wood and iron) Hybrids: 22 and 25 degree. These are much easier to hit and much more forgiving than long irons. They will make the game easier for you starting out. \n\nGet at least a 13 degree driver, with as big a head as possible, to make it easier to hit. Make sure you get it from a major manufacturer, the off brands may look the same, but their quality control is terrble. \n\nAny 34 or 35 inch putter that looks good to you, one that looks like a Ping Anser is a good choice. Almost all the major manufacturers have a design that copies the original Ping putter. \n\nThis leaves you with thirteen clubs. You can add one more later because the limit is 14, but I would start with this and see how it goes. This set will not be cheap, you will probably spend over 1000.00 easily. \n\nYou might want to see what irons and woods you like at the golf store and then check ebay and see if you can get them used. Just make sure they're not too beat up!! \n\nThe January 2006 issue of Golf Magazine has an article that I referenced for this recommendation, pick it up and use it as a guide to begin your club purchases! \n\nHave fun!!!

Without seeing your swing, knowing how often you play, practice and how far you hit the ball now Herer are some suggestions\n\nClub head speed and solid contact equal distance \n\nTiming is the key for this to work.  Here are some articles that should give you more club head speed.\n\nThere are three checkpoints that deal with your wrist hinge. During your back swing, the top of your swing, and just past impact\nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/tips/swing/improve_elliott062904.cfm\n\n\nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/tips/rickmartino/improve_martino103105.cfm

First, make sure your clubs are custom fit for you; correct length, correct flex, correct loft and lie, correct grip size, correct weight, ie., balanced (are they uniform in feel and play), and more important that your set is made up of clubs that fit your game, ie., no 1 or 2 iron in the bag when you should be hitting a 7 or 5 wood. Second, Where on the golf course are you waisting shots? Work on that part of your game, get help from your golf pro if needed.  Third, Play Play Play Practice Practice Practice. As my Dad once told me, your not going to get any better sitting here on your ass.  So get off your ass and go play, make sure your equipment is right and get help when you need it, the rest while fall into place. HAND Have A Nice Day!!!

very hard to diagnose without seeing your swing.  the slice movement of the golf ball is caused by striking the golf ball with an open clubface.  would be helpful to know the initial line of yuor ball flight after impact to further diagnose what's happening, i.e. straight, left, or right.\n\na couple of common causes of slicing include:\n\n1. picking the club straight up at takeaway and returning the club at impact via an outside inside swing path and/or \n\n2. doing what's known as a reverse pivot, i.e. shifting your weight forward at takeaway and then backward at inmpact.  \n\neasiest ways to rectify these problems are to ensure a proper shoulder turn away from the ball on your backswing and properly shifting your weight forward on the downswing, trying to ensure either an inside to outside swing (which will promote more of a draw movement) or a square to square swing. \n\nbest advice would be to contact a local golf pro and get lessons...even the pros like tiger do that. :)

Without getting new equipment, try and widen your stance a couple of inches.  Or you can work on swing speed, a drill you can try would be to grip the golf club on the opposite end (near the head) and swing, but you want to hear the whoosh sound at the bottom portion of the swing (when the shaft is parallel to the ground before impact to the same same spot after impact).  You can also increase strength and flexibility in the muscle groups for the golf swing.

I am originally from Perth and used to work in the golf industry.\n\nThe best coach I ever met over there was a guy by the name of Andrew Mowatt and he worked at Royal Fremantle Golf Club.  He was an amazing fellow, super positive and different, not like your average golf pro.  He cured my slice just by explaining to me the principles of why the ball was going right!\n\nLook him up, he's not expensive at all, and a really great coach!

Go to www.playgolfameriaca.com for some good information.  \n\nYou don't want to change your swing before a round.  Here are some tips for the slice. \n\nthree drills you can do to help cure that frustrating slice.\n\nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/tips/swing/improve_hammond102604.cfm

Everyone can tell you put it back in your stance, put it forward in your stance, move back, move forward.....whatever.\nSlow down your swing and start there.  If you have to make slight adjustments from there then you can.  Main thing is to not swing too hard.  Dont try to kill it.  Making good connection is what you want.  Slowing your swing down will help stop your club from moving too much.  Just try it.

If your ball starts on target (i.e., where you are aiming) and then curves, the curve is likely due to the club-head not traveling in a straight line when it is striking the ball.  The simplest drill that I know to fix this is to get a long foam tube (like you use to bash your sister with at the beach) and place it about 2" outside of your ball and pointed at your target.  Then try to hit the golf ball without hitting the tube (tip: it will be really, really hard to do!)\n\nIf, however, your ball starts to the right of your target and then curves farther right, then you are hitting the ball with an open face.  This type of error is somewhat more easy to fix . . . usually by using a "stronger" grip (i.e., rolling the hands a little bit to the right on the grip).\n\nDisclaimer: I'm no golf teacher . . . just a guy who's been playing for about 38 years . . . $100 spent on 3 or 4 lessons would probably pay a much bigger benefit than any tip you will get here.\n\nGood luck!

The slice is caused by the face being open at impact.\nThis can be due to many things.\n\nIf you ALWAYS slice, a quick way to fix it is to buy an offset club.\nThe danger of that, though, is that you will hook the ball if you ever start to hit it square.  \n\nBefore spending the money, you could also try setting up further behind the ball to create a virtual offset. \n\nBy that, I mean tee up the ball normally. Set the club face behind the ball and take your normal stance. Now shift yourself away from the ball (move to the right if you are right-handed) so that there is about 1 inch of space between the front of the club and the ball.  Now swing, and think about keeping your head down and getting that club through the ball.  When you can hit it without topping it, you'll find it goes straight, or even off to the left. \nYou may have to play with that shift distance a bit to find out the right offset for your swing.

Go to the driving range and practice a lot more. On the range, you could pretending you are practising and accidentally hit the ball. I use to think that the practice swing is better, too, but in fact it is not as you are not committed to it. Cure your real swing is better.
