Croup is a condition that causes a swelling of the voice box (larynx) and windpipe (trachea). The swelling causes the airway below the vocal cords to become narrow and makes breathing noisy and difficult. It is most commonly caused by an infection.
A golf slice is a shot that usually ends up far to the right of your intended target. For some players this shot can curve 30 or 40 yards off line. Excessive left to right hand spin on the golf ball causes a golf slice to occur. A small amount of left to right spin on the golf ball will cause what is called a fade.
Start practicing this shot with a lob wedge. It will give you confidence as you hit longer shots later. Position the golf ball more toward your back foot, rather than in the center of your stance as you would on a regular shot. That will force you to hit down on the ball, which will create backspin.
