Golf Smarter: Fix Your Slice

Fighting a Slice?

You may not need to spend money to fix your slice.

Assuming your driver is adjustable (and whose isn’t these days?), here are 3 things to try:

◉ Adjust the head to the most upright position.

◉ Add loft. This will close the face and promote straighter flight.

◉ Move the heaviest weight to the heel.

If your driver isn’t heel-toe adjustable, the back position is typically the most draw-biased alternative.

Here's a look at the 2023 Solheim Cup rosters, course and biggest storylines before Team USA and Team Europe face off on Friday.

Ben Hogan's 1-iron shot at the 1950 U.S. Open is one of the most legendary shots in the history of golf. It is often referred to as the "Miracle at Merion" and is celebrated for its precision and its crucial role in Hogan's victory.

The Setting: The 1950 U.S. Open was held at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pennsylvania. The final round took place on June 11, 1950, and the weather conditions were challenging, with strong winds and rain.

The Situation: Ben Hogan entered the final round trailing the leader, Lloyd Mangrum, by several strokes. On the 18th hole, a formidable par-4, Hogan needed a par to tie Mangrum and force an 18-hole playoff.

The Shot: Hogan's drive off the 18th tee was solid, but he still faced a challenging approach shot. He had approximately 220 yards to the hole, and he decided to use his 1-iron—a notoriously difficult club to hit due to its low loft.

With precision and nerves of steel, Hogan struck the ball cleanly. The shot soared through the air and landed on the green, just 40 feet from the hole. It was a remarkable display of skill and composure under pressure, given the adverse weather conditions and the significance of the moment.
