Advice For Club Tournament

[APowell1990]

I am 15 years old and playing in my first ever match play tournament. I got a great draw in the first round. I am facing a guy that shoots in the high 90's. The only thing is if I win then I would face the runner up from last year's tourny. I hardly ever play match play (even when I do it is not that serious) and I was wondering what mental strategies I need? I am currently hooking the ball like crazy. I am a lefty by the way. Does anybody have advice on how to stop this hook?

Have a lesson,trying to fix a hook over the web is ridiculous.The pro will give you some pointers and you will also benefit by having a real focus to your practice.This will give you a lot of confidence after you start to sort it on the practice ground.This will help you in your match

whenever my shots start hooking bad or slicing bad I go to the range and try CRAZY shots. Open your stance up as wide as you can and try to slice the hell out of it. Close it down and try to hook the hell out of it. Close your club and punch shots. Open it up and hit high shots.

After trying lots of different shots like that go back to basics with your stance and setup and then try to hit normal shots again. Sometimes you just have to clean out the pipes.

Stay in the shot, don't come up and out.
Follow through to the target.
Swing inside to slight outside.
Don't break your wrists till after/contact.
