An out-to-in swing of the golf club with respect to the target line, produces a slice which bends the ball to the right. A less severe slice is called a fade. Some times a slice is caused by not moving the left hip out of the way towards the left during the down swing. This error is not too obvious unless a high speed video is available for analyzing the fault. No matter what the cause, a slice is always the result of hitting the ball with an open club face. This part is always true.
It is the best ball game in the world. There is no hurry. The ball just sits there stationary, on the tee or on the fairway. You may even decide to roll a cigarette first, smoke it and then hit the ball. Also you can play alone or with a maximum of three other golfers. There is no stress because every one plays with his own ball. The winner is the player who hits his ball the least number of times, to get it into the hole.

Golf anomaly
When a right handed golfer holds a driver with his right hand lower on the grip than his left hand, his right shoulder will naturally be lower than his left shoulder during his set up and address position. To start with, his shoulder is uneven and not level. The ball he hits with this club will naturally bend towards the right (a slice). Is it possible to hit a straight ball with this lope sided set up?
