re: What was the key to fixing your driver slice when you started golfing?

Your core is outracing the club head. Shoulders should be fairly square at impact. You’re almost to your finish position at impact. Pull up an image of Tiger at impact. Because the club needs to catch up to your body, you are probably slinging the club over the top. The harder your swing, the more u sling and the worse the slice. Slow down from the top and you’ll get into the slot and remarkable things will happen. You stay behind the ball beautifully.

I'm not really sure what I did because I haven't filmed it to compare, but I haven't sliced a drive in my last two rounds. My drives have actually been remarkably consistent on back 9's. All I can figure is that I'm keeping my body centered and really focusing on eliminating any type of sway, just turning back and up and coming down. I'm not even thinking on the downswing, just hitting the ball. Even hit a few baby draws yesterday
I played 18 yesterday and shot a 94. It's the first time I've kept score, and I left a ton of strokes on the table. I still hit awful awful shots every few holes on my approach, as in hitting an 8 iron from 140 out and the ball goes 40 yards type awful, or chunking a chip from the edge of the green and the ball goes 10 feet. Not to mention the 3 putts.
I played the back 9 by myself so got my money's worth on the 18th hole and hit 3 off the tee. All landed middle of the fairway within 10 yards of each other. Second shot was with my 3 wood, same thing. All withing 10 yards of each other, just off the green.
If I could only transfer that "warmed up" ability to the front 9 I think I could be somewhat decent.
