If you've been golfing for some time, you will know that many people have the same problem, the slice. This can be the number one thing that kills your golf game, and can be the most difficult thing to correct. Instead of changing your aim, you will learn how to correct the problem with minimal work on your part.

To begin with, take a look at your posture. If you are slouching that could be part of your problem. First, begin by putting your feet into a stance that is as wide as your shoulders. Your stance should match up with the area you are aiming for. Your feet should be positioned as well. The right foot aimed directly ahead, while your left foot pointed towards the left.

Bend your elbows slightly and then adjust your stance just enough to be comfortable without changing your entire stance. Head out to the golf course, and practice this on the driving range until you get it down perfectly. This will be the best way to improve your slice.

One more thing you will need to do is grip the club properly as well. Many people don't realize there is a correct way to hold their club. When you look down on the club, your left hand and your thumb should go down the shaft. These should line up with the right side of your face. You will the need to cover the left hand with your right one with your palm directly over your left thumb.

This will likely lead you to improving your slice drastically. Golf magazines and other sources have cited this as the one thing that kills the slice for more people than anything else. If you aren't sure about how you are holding the club, you can check with a trainer, or there is another solution you can use.

A good training guide will not only help you to improve your slice, but will give you tips over the entire golf course as well. This guide can help you to understand the areas you might need improvement with, while keeping you informed on new techniques and methods that can be added to your current playing for the best result possible.

One other area you will need to focus on is your swing. Correcting it will be a simple solution for getting the best results from your game. This will be as simple as allowing your arm to follow through from your shoulders as it connects with the ball. This should all be in a single, solid motion.

In comparison, the downswing should be with turned hips, and keeping your eyes solid on the ball. Your head should never be lifted as you follow through with the swing. You listed and hear what the ball does in this case, and avoid the sense of sight.

Golf can be a fun game to learn and will take a lifetime to master. Review these tips, and see how your golf game can be improved with simple changes to your posture.
