Many beginner golfers struggle with getting the ball in the air, and it can be frustrating when your shots just roll along the ground. In this episode of Golf Party Live, we break it down in a fun and easy-to-understand way!

We start by covering the four common mishits that keep your ball from soaring:

• Topping the Ball – When you hit too high on the ball, causing it to roll instead of launch.
• Whiffing the Ball – When you swing and miss completely (it happens!).
• Chunking the Ball – When you hit the ground before the ball, leading to a weak or short shot.
• Sculling the Ball – When you hit too low on the ball, making it shoot low and fast instead of lifting.

After breaking down why these shots happen, we will share simple fixes to help you make clean contact and send your ball flying! Whether you are new to the game or just need a refresher, this episode will give you the tools to get the ball up and away.

Tune in and let’s get that ball in the air!

If you loved this episode, please leave us a review and share it with your golf crew. 

In this episode, we dive into the complexities of the “Right Shot”.  We are talking about NOT “correct” shots—but shots that veer right! Whether you’re hitting a slice, push, or fade, we unpack the terminology, causes, and fixes. And for those moments when nothing works? We’ve got a secret weapon: Birdie Juice.

We start by talking ball flights and understanding the types of shots that go to the right:
*Push: A straight shot that misses the target right.
*Slice: The classic shot that curves sharply to the right.
*Fade: A more controlled, gentle curve to the right.
*Shank: straight right and known to be the worst shot in golf. 

We move into how these shots differ and why terminology matters when diagnosing the issue. We bring our listeners the most common causes for errant Right Shots along with solutions to stop hitting these frustrating shots.  When all else fails there is always Birdie Juice. Sometimes, you just need to relax and not overthink it. A little swing lube (a.k.a. a drink of your choice) might be the best temporary fix.

Key Takeaways
*Hitting right isn’t always bad—understanding the type of right shot is key to improvement.
*There’s always a cause for those errant shots, whether it’s mechanics, alignment, or mindset.
*Solutions are out there, but sometimes you just need to take the pressure off and enjoy the game.

Thanks for listening! Don’t forget to tell your golfing friends about our show.  Until next time, keep swinging (hopefully not to the right)!
