Great stuff there, jcgolfpro.

After having some slicing trouble with my new set of clubs, I had to do some self diagnosis. I found that I was:
  • Swing Path - Down the Line

    Clubface Open to Path. Fade/Slice. Ball starts out at target (Swing Path) and ball curves right (Clubface).

I have been working hard to correct it, and have seen much improvement in the last couple of rounds. I did a quick round of 9 on Monday, and shot my best score (50) in probably 5 or 6 years - my previous best was at the same course (49).

I started out slicing all the irons of this set (3-PW), but now can hit the shorter irons (8-PW) dead straight or with a hint of fade; mid irons (6 & 7) with a little more fade; and my longer irons with more fade than I would like.

I hope to get the longer irons straightened out too, but that may have to wait until next spring when I take a lesson or two. My goal is to bring more consistency to every part of my game and then hopefully work my way into a bogey golfer (and beyond).
