If you are new to golf and are having trouble controlling your golf shots, It may be that your grips are not the right size for you. I am a novice golfer and was having trouble with just keeping the ball flying streight. Now I'm no expert, but I went to my local golf shop and got fitted for the proper size grip. I went from stock grips to oversize grips and the difference was unbelievable. So before you throw your clubs in the nearest lake and give up, try regripping them. It's not that expensive and may be just what you needed. I can honestly say that for me proper grip size made all the difference in the world. I hope this helps and happy golfing.
