   Starting off straight is good, that means the club is traveling on a good path. The slice means the face is open to the path. Without seeing your setup and swing its impossible to tell, but odds are your grip needs to be turned a little to the right and your right hip and shoulder are likely a little high at address. Check your setup in a mirror and compare it to setup positions of top tour pros (Golf Digest swing sequence fold outs make it easy to do this). Mimic what you see in them until you can take it to the range and see if that straightens you out.

   Your club face is open.

   When I played for varsity this year 1 day my drives would all be straight. The next day I had a bad slice.

   What I do now is either you aim more to the left and play it like a draw.
   Or another one that usually works for me most of the time is set your left foot on the same line as your tee. I always do this but if you dont you should start. If you already do then start practicing puting it ever further up so its past your left foot.

   Your club face is open because when you contact the ball your club hasnt had the full rotation. Once it gets the full rotation it is straight and sometimes you need more swing to make it get the full swing.

   Slicing is very frustrating. The most common mistakes are a wrong stance, grip and downswing. Maybe film yourself and analyze the swing. There are a lot of tips and golf swing techniques available on how to correct a slice.

   The easiest and quickest way to fix a slice ( as well as the only real way) is to get with a teaching pro to determine which particular swing flaws are present in your swing…..a few simple drills and voila straight down the middle. Teaching pros are not villans though a lot of golfers disdain and keep on looking for easy answers….they also keep right on slicing for years.

   I have the same issue.
   Work on your grip so the club face is straight when it makes contact. Or it could be your shoulders, make sure they stay level.
   If those don't work, your knees may be the problem, make sure one doesn't dip on you.

   Good Luck.

   Sounds like your club face is open. That could be a number of things in cluding grip.Go take a lesson from a local pro. They can help you more than anyone here because they can see your swing and your mechanics.
