Slice

A mis-hit in which the ball takes off initially to the left, and then curves around significantly to the right of the intended direction or target, for a right-handed golfer. A left-handed golfer's slice will curve from right to left (Golfsmith).

A slice can result from positioning one's hands too far to the left on the club, or from having a player's body or feet turned too far the left (Kelley, About.com). The movement of the shoulders on the downswing could cause a slice too.

A slice is most often unintentional and is a common kind of mis-hit (Kelley, About.com).
