He hit that ball right where his shoulders aimed it. He's also swinging out to in which is putting the spin on the ball which causes the slice. Which is why he was aiming where he was. Fix the out to in on your swing and you can aim for the fairway instead of the trees.
To prove my point about swinging out to in. Take a 2 x 4 and line it up one club length away on the far side of the ball. Make your swing. If you hit the 2×4 before you hit the ball… out to in.
Beyond that… He's standing to far away which is forcing him to bend over to reach the ball. His stance is closed instead of open. The ball is to far left of his right shoulder, and his arms aren't straight. That's just from set. The back swing wasn't equal to the follow through and was rushed. Not shift weight through your hips. The club face is open at the moment of impact with the ball. ALSO not helping with the slice.
Otherwise…. fuck all of that and have fun. That's really what the game is about. To all those wankers who say golf is easy… fuck them. That game is frustrating as fuck… It sure is fun though. Wish it was cheaper to play.
