If you are looking to fix a golf slice, there are a few helpful tips which can get you on the right track. Adjust your setup, this includes strengthening your grip, fixing your alignment, and making sure your golf ball position is correct.  A stronger grip will help you combat your slice.  Make sure to turn your hands more to the right on the grip so that the two Vs or lines that form between your thumbs and forefingers point up towards your right shoulder.  This is a strong grip.  If the lines between your thumbs and forefingers point up towards your chin, your grip is more neutral.  Making your grip stronger may not completely fix your slice, but it should help reduce it quite a bit.

For all of the golfers out there, how many of you work for Taylormade, Titleist, Cleveland, Calloway, or Nike?  I would imagine that only a very tiny percentage of you do so.  Yet, most of us (myself included), actually pay these companies sizeable amounts of money to advertise their brands for them as we spend 4 hours (or significantly more in some cases) on the golf course.  Between the expensive golf bags, hats, shirts, and towels that we purchase, we are a walking billboards for these companies, and we paid them for that right!

With the marketing and business degrees that many golfers probably possess, how many of us have ever stopped to wonder how that makes any sense.  Why not take the money that you spent on that 0 Taylormade cart bag, and buy a bag or shirt that advertises YOUR brand instead.  Use a bag with your logo embroidered on it to start a conversation with your playing partners about the company that you own or sell for.  It’s a natural segue into your ”elevator pitch”.
