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

94 for the first time keeping your score is respectful. Out of curiosity, do you take any mulligans while playing?
I usually do but didn't yesterday. I'm going to date and keep a record of the scorecards so I can document any progression or regression. 22 over seems pretty bad to me, but then again I don't really know what's "normal"
I putt everything outside of two feet, but should probably start putting those inside as well

An honest 94 is probably better than 75-80% of most weekend hackers, so don't be discouraged.
I've dealt with a slice since I started playing at age 16, and switching to a 10 finger grip on my woods a few years ago changed it to more of a fade than a slice.
I've been working and playing with my brother in law, who was a college golfer and can absolutely hammer the ball (he drove Carter #1 pin high at 327 yards last weekend and had a six foot putt for eagle). What he's taught me is that your feet should aim where you want the ball to start, and your shoulders and club face should align with where you want the ball to finish. For years I've always manipulated the club face to force draws & fades, and that shite is feast or famine. So far it's working, and I'm generally able to hit fades and draws based on whatever the hole calls for

Right now just play like a bogey is a Par, So a 90 would be shooting Par, When you hit that start working toward a new goal. Dont look at it like your 22 over you just started playing.
For fixing the slice, Ive fought between a fade and slice for years without much consistency. Finally figured it out a couple months ago. I put the ball further back in my stance with a decently strong grib. Dont rush the back swing then just get through the ball. Ive picked up 40 yard on my drive by going from a high fade to a low draw
