Happy to hit it straight. Ain’t good enough to purposely make it go left or right.

Fade.........simply because I'm a righty and our local course has more holes that the fade lends itself better towards.

I love golf, it's fun, and frustrating. lol

I have a tourney this weekend, best ball, six man team, will be awesome.

Can't hit a draw. My normal swing has some fade in it I've been trying to straighten out for years.

I can usually summon the fade if I try by slipping back to my old swing. grin


Played in my weekly league last night and am heading north on Sunday to play a decent course. Blake Lake near Onaway, MI

Depends on how the hole is playing and if I want it rolling or stopping.

I would like to be able to hit a draw, but only hit fades or straight.

Entry level players usually start with a big ol slice. Which as they get better, may turn into a gentle fade. Better players are able to hit a draw, and a lot try to do so as it seems to give more distance. A fade balloons up into the air and lands soft, a draw bores low, then turns over and hits the ground and runs. Then as players get really good, they have the distance, so go back to hitting a high gentle fade to control what happens when ball lands. Hitting it dead straight every time is also good, but hard to do on a consistent basis.

One of worst faults that can plague a guy is when they can only hit duck hooks, which is a violent, out of control draw. I have seen guys who could play and score remarkably well hitting a big high 30 yard slice. It was predictable.......so they went with it. Never have seen anyone play well with a big duck hook.

My brothers are really into golf, me, not so much. I go 5-6 times a year to hang out with the boys. When I started I had a slice so bad I had to duck after I swung because I was afraid the ball would come back and hit me in the back of the head. Brothers have taught me enough now to usually be to keep it straight enough to find. Kind of miss getting to go treasure hunting in the woods every hole (as long as nobody was playing behind us) did find a brand new sim2 driver head in the woods one time. Literally looked like the guy swung it one time, got mad and chucked it in the woods. Younger brother still uses it.

Depends on the hole layout,play mostly straight with the driver,if my timing is off a little it's produces a baby cut.With my irons I play a 5 to7 yard draw,unless it's a front right pin or back right,then I take one more club and cut it into the pin.It's a great game wish I could play more this year I've played a little more 15 rounds,normally I only get out 4 to 5 times a summer.It's hard to keep everything sharp only playing a little bit,I bounce around from a 3 Hcp to a 5 Hcp.

When I played years ago, a teaching pro got rid of my slice/fade by only allowing me to take my club back to the point where my club shaft was parallel to the ground. By shortening my swing, I was no longer shifting my body forward before impact. Gave me a nice draw.

I don’t play now. Too many shoulder surgeries.
