Golf Tips

Most golfers, men and women alike, tend to hit a slice. The most common cause of a slice is a lack of clubface rotation through the ball at impact. This opening or holding back of the clubface puts a clockwise rotation on the ball and causes the sometimes-dramatic curve to the right. To correct your slice you first must learn to hit the anti-slice (a.k.a. a hook). Feel the toe of the club pass the heel through impact and the ball will move from right to left. An excellent drill to feel this release of the clubhead and your arms is to set up as if the ball were teed up three feet off the ground. Make a few swooshing swings and begin to sense how your right arm crosses over the left naturally. Gradually lower the bottom of the swing until you are making swings at ground height. If you can get this rotational swing to happen through the ball, Kiss Your Slice Goodbye!

Located on the site of an antebellum plantation, Legend Oaks recalls a by-gone era when courses were carved from the land by hand. Cut through the beautiful Lowcountry, Legend Oaks offers a traditional style course. Golf Magazine Travel Editor Brian McCallen likened the approach to the plantation-style Legend Oaks clubhouse, through an avenue of 250-year-old live oaks, to the drive up Magnolia Drive leading to Augusta National. "Though the golf course is more akin to Pinehurst no. 2 in its straightforward presentation of challenge," McCallen added. Legend Oaks Plantation is a classic layout, nestled in Charleston’s Historic Plantation area. Experience golf plantation Style.
