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.
The position of the club at the top of your swing is an indication of whether you will slice the ball. Swing all the way back and pause. Your left wrist should be flat at the top of your swing. If it is cupped, or concave, you will most likely strike the ball with the club face in an open position, which causes a slice.
