I usually dont even hit my driver, my advice would be to leave the driver in the bag and hit your 5 wood or your 3 wood accuracy is more important than distance anyday.

Thats whay my dad is telling me, leave the driver in the bag. Jack Nichoulous never used a driver, only on SPECIAL occasions, he used a 1 iron. And the coach didnt look at my short game because we had 1/2 foot of snow on the course when she had to booked, which stinkkksssss.

But thanks for all of you guys help

Sorry you didn't make, but don't give up. There's always next year. (yea, I know that's lame, but I spent 6 years working with a football team in Dallas, and after 1995, I heard that a lot) I'm with RPM, could never do good on the 18th hole. Making it in the clown's nose, my fear of clowns, not a good combination.

I don't know about Jack Nicholas, but Jack Nicholson never uses a driver when he's beating on a car.

Hey man, i am always playing golf. Try this. When u line up on the ball and get ur grip on the club roll ur right hand over further than u have it. May feel a little bit different but keep working with it and it will help u a bunch, i promise. If u are left handed just do the oppsite of what i said. If u have any more questions just private message me and i will help u as much as i can on golf. I love the sport. If i am not riding or working, i am on the golf course[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Lance

Theres so many different things that can make you slice. Hard to tell over the computers.

Heres some things to try
-Point your toes out a little more, making you keep your weight back in your stance. Stay on your heels as much as you can.
-Stand closer and stand up straighter.
-If your right handed, moved your left foot towards the ball, and keep shoulders the same angle. This will make you pull it a little more.
-Make sure keep your arms as straight as you can.
-Roll your bottom hand (left hand if your right handed) back, see more of the top of your hand.

I could go on for days.

My favorite thing is to stand on one foot (your front foot) and hit the ball. This usually helps, if your swing is to bad, you will fall over.
