Golf Tips
Cure that Hook

Hitting the ball with a closed clubface, causing shots to curve to the left.

The first thing you should do is check your grip. The Vs in each hand should point over your right shoulder. If they
point farther right, your grip is oo “strong” and could
produce a closed face and a hook at impact – when the
hands return to their normal position.

If your grip is proper and you are still hooking, try weakening
your grip by gradually moving both hands to the left.

Check your stance to make sure that your feet, knees, hips and shoulders are parallel to your target line.

Story By Mail Tribune

They call it the Golfer’s Candy Store, and it doesn’t take long to figure out why.
Within minutes of walking into Fiddler’s Green Golf Center, I had three wonderfully priced golf shirts draped over an arm and was surprisingly, uncharacteristically, picking through racks of shorts, matching colors and styles and ... Oh my gosh, I had become my wife. More...
