@thegolfsensei: 60 Golf Tips in 60 Days⛳- Day 43: The Mindset Move That Fixes Your Slice on Scary Holes Apowerful lesson from Nick Faldo — one that explains why golf feels so hard for many players. He said: “You can’t be afraid to swing toward what you’re scared of.” And it’s true. Most golfers aim away from danger, but that move actually makes your swing pattern worse. Here’s the example: At the 18th hole at Old Hickory, there’s water down the right side. Most players fear the lake, so they swing left. But when you swing left, your clubface stays open, your face-to-path goes open, and the ball slices right into the water — exactly what you were trying to avoid. The fix? You have to trust your swing and swing toward the trouble, not away from it. When you do that: • Your face-to-path aligns correctly • The face closes relative to the path • You create a natural draw • The ball curves away from the danger It feels scary, but it works — and it’s a huge breakthrough for players who struggle with slices on tight or intimidating holes. Don’t be afraid to swing toward what scares you. Your ball will curve away from the trouble.
