Why has my golf gone so bad?
Usually, the reason a person loses their golf swing involves a lack of practice and poor setup. If you’ve become sloppy with body mechanics, don’t practice regularly, or you’re not able to make it out to the range often, then your swing is going to suffer.
Are golf courses responsible for damage?
“There are two parties liable for the damage in this situation. Firstly, there is the actual golfer who caused the damage – if they can be identified. But secondly, the person or body who allows the nuisance to occur from their neighbouring property is also liable. That means the golf club.”
Why am I getting worse at golf the more I play?
For the vast majority of club players, golf is a social game. When we play in this way we are wide-focused, talking to others and taking in the scene. This also tends to be when we have played our best. Then a competition rolls around; we become quieter and sterner, get our game face on… and typically play worse.
Why do I slice my driver but not my 3 wood?
The reason your driver is slicing more than your 3 wood is because it has a longer shaft and less loft. Because it’s the longest club with the least amount of loft the driver will exaggerate a player’s tendencies more than any other club.
Why do I slice the ball with my driver?
A slice shot is caused by a poor grip and setup, an outside-to-in downswing path and an open clubface. An outside-to-in path occurs when the golfer reaches too far on the downside, bringing the club down to the right of the ball (outside), relative to the target line.
Why are pro golfers so inconsistent?
Club Face Issues A proper grip specific to you is the source of a square club face. A club face that is overly open or closed will cause a golfer to have to make a compensation within their swing and these two wrongs that can occasionally make a right, will lead to inconsistency.
Who is liable if a golf ball hits a car?
If a golf ball hits a car on a public road then whoever hit the ball is responsible for any damage they caused, and as they’re unlikely to be insured against that they’re personally liable to pay for it themselves.
Can you try too hard at golf?
The harder one tries in golf, the worse one will usually do. This notion is repeated often throughout the game. When one tries to “muscle” a drive, it usually changes the technical soundness of the swing, resulting in a miss-hit.
Can practice make you worse?
The authors found that practice doesn’t make you better. In fact, practice could make you worse or at least keep you at the same level of performance indefinitely. You’ve been told to just keep practicing and you can be great. But that’s not necessarily the case.
What happens if you shorten your driver shaft?
Shortening the shaft will make the club shorter but it will also make the shaft stiffer and adjust the swing weight as well. Plus, the more length you remove, the less flex your club will have. Depending on how much you cut it down, it could move a regular flex to a stiff or a stiff to an extra stiff.

How do you hold a driver not to slice?
TIP FOR YOUR GRIP: Set your left thumb on the back side of the grip and your right one on top. If you hit a lot of slices, you should “strengthen” your left-hand position on the club. All you have to do is grip it more in the fingers, as opposed to the palm.
Why can’t I hit a golf ball consistently?
Moving the body sideways or up-and-down is detrimental to hitting the golf ball consistently. Often, you don’t realize you’re doing it until you ask someone to watch your head position during the swing. Moving up and down off the ball causes numerous negative actions and counter-actions in the golf swing.
Why can’t I hit a golf ball off the ground?
If the divot does not take out, or break, the front tee, it means you are not getting enough of your weight moving forward. You aren’t moving your “fixed-point” forward enough in the downswing. If there is no divot at all, then you know that you need to be swinging down at the ball into the ground more.
