Shooting below 85 or even near to that number is very difficult if your first move on the downswing takes your hands “outside the line” (that’s a technical term we use to describe the relationship between your swing and the plane).
“Once your hands get outside, it is almost
impossible to hit a straight shot (unless it's straight left for
right-handers). You are trying to manipulate the face to be square to
the target line. At best you’ll have a fade. Inconsistency is the most
likely result."
Finding the fairway off the tee makes the rest of the hole so much more enjoyable. Then hitting an approach at the green becomes fun. If losing the ball to the trees or rough off the tee, or to the bunkers or water on approach, because a slice or fade ruins too many of your holes, then let’s change that right now.
