5 Simple Ways to Fix Your Golf Slice

🔑Improper grip can cause a slice. Make sure to hold the club in your lead hand properly, with the club more in your fingers than in the palm.

🔑Check your setup. Ensure that your shoulders are aligned with your feet and that your club position allows for a straighter shot.

🔑Develop the right club movement. Practice swinging the club up, dropping it to a low position, and then swinging up again to promote a more direct shot.
