Improve Your Driving

A great driving tip to help your golf game is to ditch the driver completely. The driver is the longest club in the bag and has the lowest amount of loft. The combination of low loft and a long shaft make the driver the most difficult club in the bag to control. Play one round without a driver and see if your driving stats improve. Chances are that they will. You will hit more fairways. less out of bounds. and fewer hazards. leading you to shooting better scores. Instead of a driver. consider teeing off with a fairway wood. Most amateurs will hit their 3 wood about as far as the driver. but the added loft and shorter length will create more accurate shots with a smaller range of shot dispersion.

Don’t break the wrists when hitting hybrids around the green

One of the more popular golf tips among teaching professionals and tour players is to implement hybrids for short pitch shots around the green. Players who find themselves a short distance from the green might benefit from a golf tip to use a hybrid or fairway wood with a bit of loft. The idea behind hitting a pitch with a hybrid or fairway wood is to pop the ball in the air just long enough to get it to the putting surface. Due to the forgiveness of today’s hybrids and fairway woods, middle-handicap players are less likely to fluff or blade the shot. It is imperative to use a putting stroke and keep the wrists strong when pitching with a hybrid or wood from just off the green.
