Re: In the Trees

Just to add to golfbald's thread, this is how all high to mid ametuers should learn how to hit a draw or fade. Line the club face to the target and your feet to the intended initial path you want the ball to travel. Swinging along the path your feet are aligned to keeps the same swing as a straight shot but with a draw or fade, depending on you club face alignment. If you normally hit straight, the ball will curl from the initial line to where your club face is lined up, which is a draw or a fade. Most mid to high handicappers have a large handicap because of an inconsistant swing, so purposely altering their swing to create a draw or fade adds to even more inconsistancies. Try it out on the range - you will be surprised on how well this will work the ball for you!
