Tee Height

To find that sweetspot more often,as a general rule, aim to have the top of your club level with the middle of your ball.

Leave Your Driver In Your Bag

There are those days when despite your best efforts your drives are wandering and threatening your score. Cut your losses: lose a little distance, gain in accuracy by switching to your 3 wood for the rest of the round.

Forearms Together

Moving with your forearms close, together in your backswing will produce a full upperbody turn and result in a more powerful shot

Choke Down On Your Driver For Greater Control

Take your normal grip but lower on the club so that 1½”of grip is visible above your right hand.’Choking down’ like this, combined with your normal address and swing, increases your control and accuracy on tight fairways.

Coil For Power

Flex your left knee firmly throughout your backswing, as you rotate and wind your upper body tight. The more you ‘coil’ the faster will be your downswing as you unwind, generating greater power in your shot.

Long Drive But Off Target To The Right

If you are making good contact with the ball but it goes off to the left, it may be that your legs and feet are moving forward somewhat as you drive. A less active lower body should solve the problem.

Teeing Up For The Drive

Teeing up properly has a major effect on your accuracy and your ability to hit your chosen target.Ideally tee up position should be just inside your right heel.Forward of this position on contact with your driver your ball will fly rightof your target.Backward of this position it will fly left of target

Drive with Soft Hands

Holding your club in the grip of death means tension everywhere. Relax, hold your club less tightly, and enjoy the improvement that it will bring to your shots.

Stronger Grip For Extra Distance

Standard advice is that at address you should be able to see two knuckles on your right hand. Try a stronger ‘ three knuckles ‘ grip which will bring extra club head speed and with it extra distance.

Think Direction Not Distance Off The Tee

Whatever club you take from the tee make sure that you go shorter, but stay on the fairway, rather than hit longer, maybe getting lost in the rough, which will cost you strokes.
