Ok, I think if I'm going to talk so much about GOLF, I should give you guys a lesson on some of the terms used in golf.

I'm just going to talk about Draw and Fade...

A DRAW shot means the ball moves from right to left, about 5 to 10 yards. It's equivalent to kicking it with the inside of your right foot (Big toe), curving it from right side to the left side.

A FADE shot is the opposite. The ball moves from left to right, like when you kick a soccer ball with your right baby toe. So the ball curves from left to right.

If you have too much draw, then it's a hook, and if you have too much fade, it's called a slice. A slice and a hook are NOT good things in golf. They are the most hated words in golf...

There are times when you might want to hit a draw or a fade, depending on the layout of the hole. If the hole is a dog-leg left, you might want to draw the ball, while a dog-leg right hole would make you want to hit a fade shot.

Sometimes you can hit various kinds of draws and fades, such as a cut fade or a power draw, but that's for another day...

A draw shot has the tendency to move the ball a bit further than a straight shot. Also the ball will roll more, once it lands on the ground.

A fade shot has the tendency to move the ball a bit shorter than a straight shot, and it generates more backspin, so the ball does not roll as much. A good fade shot with a 7 iron can even move the ball backwards, once it hits the green.

To hit a draw shot, you need to close your club face a little bit, and stand with your right foot slightly further back from your left foot. And when you must make a INSIDE - OUT swing, and finish with a full turn of your shoulder.

To hit a fade shot, you need to open your club face and stand with your left foot slightly further back from your right foot. You must make a OUTSIDE - IN swing, and finish with a slightly open stance. 

I realize this blog is a bit dull, but that's because I'm in a hurry... I'll try harder next time.

Gotta go now! :-)
