Getting a good drive off the tee means getting each hole off to a great start. Here are a few tips that you can use to make your game better.



You're driving will improve if, before you swing, you draw a mental picture of:

1. Your position at the top of your swing

2. The clubhead swinging through the impact area

3. Where you want your club to finish up [the best way to do this is to pick out a target on the horizon and swing your club toward it]

These images represent the three keys to any good swing: the backswing, the impact, and the follow-through.



Most Sunday golfers are tight in their body muscles. Actually they know it they but aren't doing anything about it. The basic key is to implement various stretching exercises that are specific to golf. The type of exercise you use should be very similar to your golf swing. Simply break your swing down into phases and you will discover many benefitial stretches.



You'll generate a lot of power if you forget about building up the muscles in your body and concentrate instead on whipping the hips. Look at golfing legend Gary player. He's only 5'7" tall, but he hits the ball a long way by moving his hips as fast as possible for right to left in the downswing. But not so fast that he loses control of the swing. The idea is to have the hips moving to the left, where they'll open naturally. If you keep your head behind the ball through impact, you'll form a sort of human catapult that will send your ball soaring.



Remember that your golf eqiupment is not the whole story. Techinique plays a large part in how long and straight you drive the ball. Diligently practice using tips like these and your will see a great deal of improvement in your teee shots.



Here is another great tip. Get a good golf training aid like a training putter.
