This golf season sure is flying by! Unfortunately work has gotten in the way a bit and I have only been playing about once every two weeks since June. I did just compete in our club Championship and finished 4th. I was pleased with that. Especially since last week I had to play the Club Champ in the Club Match Play and beat him 5 and 4!
Lopey, I spent 7 years teaching. it is tough to get much of a gauge without seeing or knowing much about your swing limitations but I can recommend a few things. Slicing is caused from a few factors. Mainly the club is opening or is open through impact. If the club is open or opening through impact and the path of the club is coming the outside to inside (further away from your body going back and then coming closer to your body coming down and through) you will create the spin which makes your ball go that way. Try slowing things down on the range and focusing on a smoother plane that is on line with the target. It might feel like you are actually pushing it in the beginning. Aiming further to the right in your case will only create more of a slice as you compensate to get the ball back into the right direction.
In a lot of cases the swing becomes mostly arms. Don't forget that the hips have to go through as well. Something to help hips go through would be to slightly point your lead foot forward. Not extreme, but a small amount can help golfers get their hips through.
Remember, everyone's swing is different. It could be something simple like the bottom hand is too open on your grip as well. there are a lot of factors that come into play. If you can't figure it out, set up a meeting with a local pro. They are there to help people improve. Ask around and see who the best ones are if there are more than one. I know I could have sent this PM but over 80% of golfers slice so even if I help one person...
Hope some of this helps you though
If all else fails, embrace the slice
