New Golf Tips To Help Your Game

By: Lee MacRae

Driving a golf ball long and straight is a great feeling! Here are a few tips to help you on your way to feeling that with every tee shot you take.

Stay flat. Your driving wood should stay along the ground for a least the first 20 to 25 percent of your swing. If your club is lifting up, you will pop the ball up and not get that long boring drive that you see the pros hit regularly.(when the ball takes off like a missile and slowly climbs to a beautiful height and tracks down the fairway).

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.

Don't worry too much about side winds. A solid and low side-spinning shot will not be affected much in the air. More people get in trouble overcompensating for a side wind than if they had just played at their target. Never give the wind more than ten yards of credit either way.

These simple golf driving tips have proved effective in helping many golfers around the world improve their drives off the tee. Simply apply what you have read here to your own circumstances. Here's to your own improvement!
