Hello ladies and gentlemen my name is Jimmy I’m with Tropicana golf hope you’ve all had a great holiday season just getting going we just celebrated Christmas yesterday and New Year’s is just a few days away during this holiday season I’ve been on the course a lot watching people play golf I haven’t

Personally played but I’ve been watching and I see something over and over and over again and that tells me that it’s a issue for the General Public when you are playing you expect your ball to go where you want it to go that’s the best scenario now in your mind you kind of

Have an idea where your ball is going to go whether you like it or not and usually that plays is right for the right-handed golfer the slice is Major and if you can’t get out of hitting a slice I’m sorry but you’re probably not going to be very good ever you you need

To learn how to shape a shot whether you hit that fade which is fine I hit a fade or it’s a draw you need to know how to be consistent with it and if you are slicing it and you can’t get away from it I have a remedy

That is so simple that is going to change the way that you play stick around I’m going to share everything with you right now Okay so here’s the deal you come to a hole like this you have out of bounds on the left you have out of bounds on the right now you’re a big slicer left to right and sometimes you can control it sometimes it comes down in the middle of

The Fairway sometimes it ends up three golf courses over but sometimes the fade the slice works for you but here you can’t do it so what are you going to do do I’m going to teach you one little thing that will alleviate that big banana slice you can play a fade I play

A fade you can’t play a slice and you can’t play a hook so let’s get into it I’m going to hit driver and if you watch these videos you know that I never hit driver and people are always saying why don’t you hit driver the driver is no

Different to me than hitting any other club I don’t do it simply for the purpose that I like to keep the ball as straight as possible and sometimes with this just like everybody else I get too aggressive with it I want to hit it really hard and really far why

I don’t know it just happens so I stay away from it so that I can continue to play golf in a reasonable Manner and make good scores but I’m going to do it just for today so here’s the deal you get to the ball you turn back and your first move is

Power right power move no wrong this is getting the club out here you have no choice but to slice across the ball that’s why it’s called a slice your Club goes from here to here when your Club needs to go from here to here do you see the difference between here

And here it’s a big difference now how do you achieve that without millions of hours of practice and really understanding very simply you get to the back of the ball you take your normal stance boom boom and I spoke last time about widening The Stance so it’s shoulder

Width then it’s one two now I’m set I’m completely done all I’m going to do is swing to my waist and swing forward but before I do that I’m going to take my back foot my right foot foot and just do this that’s it it’s one and 1 half in

Back this way that’s it not this not this it’s shoulder width then one two and then this one just goes Bing just a little bit just a little bit back this is allowing you to hit the ball from the inside here as opposed to the outside your feet are just a little misaligned

Your feet are aimed kind of right that’s going to allow you to hit the ball from the inside so here we go we’re going to play two balls I’m going to show you this is a par four trouble everywhere I get to the ball shoulder width then one

Two if you don’t know what that one two is watch last week’s video and I’ll explain to you so you get here shoulder width one two now I’m good take my right foot just a little bit back now swing to my waist turn back and keep my

Head right there here we go let’s go through the whole thing again here we go get to the ball shoulder width one two right foot just a little bit back swing to my waist and keep my head down wow that ball is not going to slice ever

It’s going to go straight down the middle let’s do it again now with a five iron this is the way I normally play this is how I feel comfortable get to the ball shoulder width one two take my right foot put it back just a little bit swing to my waist

And keep my head on the ball goes from right to left right in the Fairway you ever hit a ball from right to left not very often right that’s what that right foot does it allows you to hit it from the inside causing your ball to go from right to

Left those are both great shots marvelous shots even and that’s how you need to play you need to play a right to left shot if your ball is slicing you continue with the left to right it’s not going to work very well for you so let’s go see what happened let’s analyze

It we have a special guest here today this is my dad from El Paso Texas the greatest place on the planet right hello everybody hello everybody I’m from the big city he’s from the big city of El Paso Texas they have golf courses in El Paso Texas but they closed them they made

Them prisons now Paso Texas is one of those places where you know you know those postcards that say wish you were here El Paso Texas El Paso says glad you’re not here El Paso Texas right he likes El Paso Texas apparently so anyway dad what I’m

Teaching him today is how to hit the ball instead of from left to right we want to hit it from right to left so that it doesn’t slice out of bounds because as you can see here over there see all that’s out of bounds over there

And you can’t play from over there so and if they start the ball over here and then they’re in this hill so you want to hit the ball straight or from right to left so it comes back down in the middle just like this okay here’s

The one I hit with a five iron now mind you that was a five iron off the te I am a thousand yards away from the green okay no problem what I’m going to do is I’m going to take a three iron I’m going

To take a three iron and if you notice I I have trees up along this area and nothing over there so where do I want to hit it guess what over there gives me a chance put the tripod right here and I’m going to aim somewhere right there just

Hit it on the ground now if I took that same approach and I pulled my right foot back that’s going to cause the ball to go left which I want at some point but right now I don’t I don’t want the ball to go left so what do I do go back to

What you were doing before get here and keep your feet aligned now if you want the ball to go right here’s another step get here and instead of taking your back foot and putting it back take your front foot and move it back just a little bit that’s it

So I’m going to try that with you I’m going to get to the ball get shoulder width apart then one two for a solid base take my front foot and just a half step back now from here I turn back turn forward and keep my

Head on the ball let’s do it again and then hit the ball I have a three iron in my hand I get to the ball shoulder width one two pull it back I’m ready to go locked loaded keep my head down it’s perfect it goes left to right

Beautiful shot great shot I’m I’m so far from the hole that I had no chance so I might as well just swing easy and get something up there and try to make a par I don’t necessarily play for birdie every single time especially on very difficult holes a par

Is a great score this is the hardest hole on the golf course so if I make par I’m playing with house money even a bogey is not bad it’s when you hit it out of here or back over there double and triple bogey nice to

See you now here’s the driver that I hit is this a better shot 100% but let me show you something that’s cuz I know how to hit it between there and there is about 35 yards it is a 35 yard Fairway from way back there this is difficult

This is very hard to do I am in the center of the Fairway it’s difficult I don’t advise you to do this I advise you to hit your five iron and that’s easy easier to do and then get a ball up there instead of trying to do this

You’re going to do this shot once out of a 100 whereas you can do the five iron almost every single time so I’m 150 yards to a middle pin I’m going to smooth an eight iron to the front of the green okay now where is this hole if you

Notice I zoom in here pins on the right what’s on the left bunker and cart path what’s it’s on the right trouble so I got to hit a straight ball no turning I can’t have it slice I can’t have it draw I have to hit it straight so I’ve taught

You how to hit a fade I’ve taught you how to hit a draw now how to hit it straight well let’s figure this out if the right foot going back makes the ball go left and the front foot going back makes theall ball go right what if I just keep my feet completely

Straight that’s probably going to have the ball go completely straight so here we go we get to the ball shoulder width and then one two keep my head completely still turn back to here swinging to my waist turn back and keep my head right at the ball my

Feet are straight my head is straight I’m like a robot boom shoulder width one two head straight hit the ball perfectly straight absolutely marvelous just short of the green nobody’s hurt I’m putting that’s great that’s a very very tough shot to hit with two bunkers surrounding the green no harm no

Foul now would I like to be 3 feet from the hole yeah absolutely but is a par great score better than great it’s the hardest hole in the course it’s not just cuz it’s long it’s well surrounded the Fairway is tight it’s not an easy hole so making a

Par it’s the best thing possible now bogey bogey on this hole is like a par because it’s very difficult this is the second shot from knife five iron so look at the difference my second shot with my driver ended up right there okay putting distance this

One just a little bit farther off but this is still doable if I can make a five from here and if you can make a five on the hardest hole in the golf course you’re going to play well okay bottom line it’s a bogey you’re not double bogeying you’re not triple

Bogeying you’re hitting one ball I have 50 yards I don’t want to hit it past the hole I want to just hit it anywhere on on the green I’m not looking at the pin I’m looking at the green and saying that’s a body of water there I just want to hit the

Ball into the water that’s it from there everything will do itself so let’s get here shoulder width because it’s a wedge I’m not taking a huge stance swing to here turn back keep my head on the ball hit it in the body of water sit down it’s all right it’s off the back

Edge I have a wedge I can wedge one in it was a little thin it happens that’s why they call it golf it’s not automatic it’s just fine here’s what we’re going to do we’re going to play that ball all the way in so let’s get the wedge again I hit it

Thin got my wedge and my putter we’re going to see if we can make a five and if not hey we make a six but it’s alive the ball is alive here was the ball that I hit with my driver okay the ball’s alive I’m chipping for par is it

Marvelous absolutely not let’s leave it right here so you can see it I’m back off the back edge of the green it’s a downhill chip I told you I didn’t want to hit it long I hit it long if this game was automatic like a video game it’d be a lot

Easier it’s not not you have to do things you have to make things happen now ball goes left I aim a little right it’s a wedge I swing it almost like a putt this is a full shot this is a putt okay so just hit it like a putt I

Just pretend I have a putter in my hand keep my head down and putt it ball will travel okay not bad I have that for bogey I will try to two-putt that it’s a six it’s not great but the ball’s in play I keep it going and this this is

Not automatic by any means but can you make it 100% get to the ball keep your head down roll it end over end ready a little short but it’s safe I have a tap in for four six double bogey hardest hole in the golf course am I upset absolutely not okay you can

Continue to play like that now I have a ball over here that I’m putting for birdie okay so let’s see what I can do here this one I must make par how do I do that I try not to make this one I imagine that there’s a Jacuzzi right here surrounding

The pin there’s a Jacuzzi full of water and people drinking middle or high life and I want to take that ball and put it in the jacuzzi I’m not going to hammer it in there I’m going to roll it and let it just trickle in so here we go I get

To the ball I imagine the jacuzzi I just roll it in roll it in get here roll it in I literally think of this hand just rolling the ball in there it’s not going to Splash or Cannonball it’s just going to make a nice little appearance into the

Jacuzzi hey guys I’m here for the jacuzzi party marvelous come on in the beers are free and they’re cold now I have a three-footer for par let me show you how to do this because everybody misses these These are easy okay these are easy you shouldn’t miss these first

Of all let’s pull the pin cuz we don’t need it oh okay follow let’s put this over here so you can see it even better follow the ball with your Club head follow the ball with your Club head what does that mean not this or it’s

This follow it follow it in get to the ball hit it and follow it exaggerate it but don’t pick your head up so you follow it this way okay here we go follow it see heads down ball goes in that’s a par the driver worked out better I hit a

Bad wedge shot it happens but there’s a couple things that you learned you want to hit the ball left left take your back leg and pull it back just a little bit and when I say a little bit I mean this much you want to hit the ball right take your front leg

Move it back just a little bit just changes the degrees of what your shoulders watch this to this that’s all it’s doing you’re moving your feet to change your shoulders everything’s completely opposite in this game just like if you have back pain it’s probably your feet so you want to hit the ball

Left left take your right leg and pull it back want to hit the ball right take this leg Pull It Forward I hope this helps you happy New Year see you soon
