Hello, so I was wondering is it better to be consist or to take the risk? Let me explain. So I'm very consist with my irons, but i usually 30/70 my woods. Which usually slice horribly! I can actually only hit my 5 wood 30/70, but with a good hit I can usually hit 260 yards. At the moment I play boggy golf. I've tried everything lessons, one on one, practice, and etc. So at the moment I just try to stick to my irons. Is it worth making a fool out of myself on the course, or sticking to my irons? Oh btw any tips on how to prevent slicing is much appreciated.
ok funny story, I've aimmed 75 degrees to the left and from that point i still sliced about 120 degrees right ><
To answer your first question, be consistent. Work on your woods at the driving range, but practice course management while playing. Hit a good drive with whatever club you can do it with, then take a good solid second shot (and third if you're on a par 5), then controlled approach shot, then aim to no more than two putt.
If you get off the fairway, don't try the hero shot. Wedge it back out of trouble, advancing it if you can but don't feel bad about needing to go out sideways sometimes.
Trust me, you might think the guys bombing it miles into the rough are laughing at you, but they're not. They will actually be jealous that you are walking right down the middle and hitting the clubs you need to hit. If you want to shave a stroke off, work on the 9i and wedges to get control with them so you can knock it close and one putt (work on your putting too).
Trust me, I used to be the bomber with no control. Now I play controlled shots down the middle, have dropped many shots off the score card, and usually beat most of the guys I play with.
