Fade or Draw?

photo credit: mandj98 Some golfers have a natural tendency to hit a draw or a fade even though most players actually have to learn to hit one or the other. If you are able to manage both how do you decide which one to hit?

There are many factors in the decision to hit a draw or fade: are you playing a dogleg, what is the wind direction, is your ball in the fairway or rough, what are the hazard locations (if any) and where is the pin located?

Lee Trevino's favorite shot was the fade which he hit consistently. Generally though, the draw is favored by most Professional golfers because they claim they have better control with that type of shot. Learn one or the other, or both and watch your handicap plummet!
