Golf Fairway woods
Most golfers derive maximum satisfaction from a well hit drive off the tee or off the fairway. You can sense that you have got the stance, the swing and the contact right just by the whoosh of the driver and the metallic clink indicating that the ball has hit dead center. Of course, the result of a perfect drive is visible to all- the ball becomes a speck in the backdrop of the blue sky before landing close to the green (in case of a par 4 or par 5 hole) or on the green or in the hole itself (in case of a par 3 hole).
However, the perfect drive will not come overnight. For starters, you will have to learn to use the right driver for the right shot. Golf is not about hitting the ball as hard as possible. It is about propelling the ball as far as possible using minimum effort. That is the reason why there are 14 clubs in your golf bag. Half your battle is won if you choose the right driver. Golf tips on driving emphasizes on this point ad nauseam. Know when to use the driver, the 3 wood and the 5 wood and you will be well on your way to become a good golfer. Your choice of driver will determine your golf driving distance.
A word of caution- Do not aim for the 300 yard drive just because you saw Tiger Woods achieve it with ridiculous ease. An average golfer drives around 195-200 yards and you had better stick to this limit until you become an expert.
You can find numerous golf driving tips on getting your drive right. This beautiful stroke is also the hardest to master. Come across a golfer sweating in buckets and cursing at the ball loudly and you would have come across a golfer who is trying to master the drive.
Golf tips on driving emphasizes on the importance of
- Choice of the wood
- Stance
- Swing
- Understanding of external factors like the wind and the course
A golfer who gets all the above mentioned points right will see the ball soar majestically in the sky before landing right where he or she (it is no longer just a man’s game) wants it. Get even one point wrong and you will see the ball soaring majestically into the trees or into the water.
If you are beginner or, even better, if you are not a professional golfer yet, then you should keep the following golf driving tips in mind:
- Just because you have propelled the ball over a long distance with the help of your driver does not mean that you have got your stance and swing right. It may even be beginners’ luck. If you want to get your golf driving distance right every time, you cannot afford to ignore the technique.
- Owning fancy and expensive golf clubs does not make you a good golfer. In fact, amateurs stand to lose their confidence faster if they make use of drivers designed for professional golfers. These clubs leave very little room for error. Get even one aspect of your stroke wrong and the ball will fly awry. Golf is not a cheap sport. Do not make things even more difficult by getting unnecessarily expensive clubs too early.
- Make good use of the World Wide Web. There is no dearth for tips from experts on the web. Most of the resources available online are free. After the YouTube revolution, it has become very easy to find videos on golf on the web. Reading how to hit the perfect drive and watching the expert do same on the screen are incomparable.
