I shot a 79 on sunday (par 72) after almost not playing for the last 10 years. Now I have played 9 hole 3 times this week.... I guess I am hooked again.

(Jun 1 06, 09:51)Do you have a really hard swing?
Hold your driver normal in your hands and "whip" it back and forth about 6 inches off the ground. See how much, if any, play is in the shaft. If it bends like hell you have a soft flex shaft. When you swing, your swing is actually too powerful for the shaft, the shaft bends and on contact the club head actually twists out from the force, thus... giving you a slice.
You may want to get a stiff shaft club next time.

You may want to get a stiff shaft the next time we see each other.

That's what I get for trying to help I guess. Stiff shaft jokes.
Funny though.

I think my shaft might be too long also...

jev - try 'turning your hands over' right when you meet the ball in your swing.
Basically it's a slight roll in your hands right at then end that'll adjust the face of you club at the point of impact in your sweep...
... then again... I shot 60+ over on the back nine yesterday... mainly because I got LAZY.
I have a wicked slice too - sometimes I'll over compensate (turning my hands over) and send the ball the other way.
It's all about mechanics.

yeah, I developed a slice when I got my new driver as well. I actually adjusted my stance so my back foot was kicked out a bit and it fixed it up.
Also, you might want to to adjust your grip as well so that the face is just slightly closed so that by the time your swing comes through and the shaft bends then it should be square to the ball.
79? Nicely done. I'm still trying to break 100.

golf is a waste of time. learn some PHP.

i know a little PHP... but I suck at it... just as much as I suck at Golf... so why the Fluck can't I suck at both?
- winter0
Your dilemma does not compute. keep trying PHP. You can suck at Golf.

lol, nice try. but I already know PHP, quite well actually.
