These Two Golf Tips Will Help Cut The Slice From Your Game!

Not much has changed in the game of golf during the last 30 years as far as the basic golf swing is concerned. Early on, the golf slice was dominating my game and was one area I really wanted to improve. I ran across an old training video produced in the 1960's recently and the same advice beginners are receiving today was being dished out then!

It was the same video I was given to watch and yes, the advice virtually helped me eliminate the golf slice from my game. You see, the basic golf swing is a simple procedure which doesn't need to be re-invented. It's stood the test of time and will continue to do so. Let's try and eliminate the golf slice from your game!

Basic Golf swing Etiquette

The stance and the golf club grip are the two important elements in correcting the golf slice. Get one or both of these wrong and you'll be forever searching for your ball in the bushes or even having to venture onto the adjacent green to play your next shot.

The Stance

It's pretty simple but it's an area beginners have trouble getting right. There's no magic formula to achieving a proper stance. In practice, make a mental picture of your target and where you want the ball to land. Your shoulders should be in alignment with your target.

Footwork is crucial but it's simple. For right handers,the right foot points straight ahead and the left foot is deviated slightly to the left. For left handers, it's left foot straight ahead and right foot slightly to the right. It doesn't get any easier than that.

The swing And Grip

Grip the club too tightly and you'll more than likely hook the ball. Grip it too loosely and you'll slice it. You need to find a happy medium between the two. This is where the practice range is handy.

The club grip is important but many golfers seem to want to improvise thinking they've got it right. As mentioned before, not a lot has changed in basic golf swing technique so don't try and re-invent the wheel. The club grip is simply gripping the club with your left hand and placing the thumb along the shaft while placing your right hand over your left with the left thumb nestled in the palm of your right hand. The reverse applies for left handers. That's it!

It's a good idea to go through the club grip with a mentor; perhaps an experienced golfer at your local club or even a playing partner. Ask them to watch you go through the motions and point out any deviation from the correct process. Golf is a game of getting into good habits and once you do, you'll be amazed at how natural the process is.

Practice Makes Perfect

Practice the stance and grip until it feels natural. Combining it with the basic golf swing will complete the process. Continued practice will help you lower your score. The amazing aspect about golf during the learning phase is how quickly you can get your score down in the initial stages simply by applying the correct swing, stance and grip techniques.

Washer - Dryer Aftercare

There are many simple ways to prolong the life of your new washer dryer, to ensure that your money is well spent and your machine has as long a life as possible. None of these tips will cost money, and most take only a small amount of time to do, although they will need to be performed regularly to get the most out of your washer dryer.

Important Washer Dryer Tips

It's always important to make sure that the filter screen is not clogged, so that clothes are always at their cleanest. You can make your own lint screen to fit over your washers drain hose, simply be securing the foot of a stocking to the end of it with a rubber band. When the washing machine drains, the sock will collect all the lint, and it can be cleaned easily by turning it inside out.

The washing machine itself needs cleaning as well. Simply pour a gallon of vinegar and a bit of bleach into the machine instead of detergent and run at least a 60 degree wash cycle (hotter is better). This will clear build-up away and also remove any odors the machine might collect. It also kills bacteria, removes soap scum that can build up and lead to mold and mildew, especially around the door seal. A maintenance wash should be done on average once a month, and is especially important if you regularly do washes under 60 degrees. Leaving the machine's door slightly open also allows the drum to dry completely and will lessen the chance of mold growing in damp conditions.

The soap drawer on the machine needs to be cleaned regularly as well - simply slide it out and rinse it in hot water to remove the soap and soap scum buildup. When you remove the soap box, make sure that you use a toothbrush or small wire brush dipped in bleach to clean out the space on the machine that the soap box fits into.

Check the hoses at the rear of the machine periodically to make sure that the rubber is still in good condition. If it is not, they will need to be replaced. These are very inexpensive to replace and are easily found in builders merchants, DIY shops, and online. They come in a standard size, so all washer dryers should be able to use the same hoses. As an added precaution, if you are going away from home, or not using the washer dryer for an extended period of time, shut the water line off completely, so there is no water running into or out of the machine.
