Golf Lesson

I had a 'Woods' lesson yesterday afternoon. Since starting back after the winter break, my fade/slice has returned with a vengance, especially with the 3 wood and fairway wood, and distance (or lack of) was a bit of an issue.

The 'cure' was two simple changes:
1) Aim the right direction!! Yep, that old one back again. Seems I was overcorrecting for my previous aligment errors.
2) Make my grip 'Stronger' ie left thumb on the rhs of the shaft, right thumb on the LHS of the shaft. Seems I had slipped into using Alex's "Thumbs Down The Centerline" grip without realising it!!

By the end of the lesson I was hitting 170 yards - straight - with a 3 wood, and about 150 with the fairway wood
