Beginner Tips for Improving Your Drive




When you’re just getting started out in golf, you probably have all kinds of fantasies of heading out on the course and landing some perfectly placed shots on the fairway every time. Unfortunately, these fantasies will get ruined the first time you swing your driver and you watch your ball sail off into the woods.
You need to devote some time to improving your drive swing if you want to actually enjoy golf, but if you’re like most people, you probably won't know what you even need to practice, or how. In order to help you improve your swing — and prevent you from losing money on balls you hit into the lake — here are some beginner tips for driving.
Choose the Right Driver
One of the first things you need to do to improve your swing happens even before you hit the ball, which is to make sure you’re using the proper golf equipment. You need to make sure that you’re using the right driver for you, and that means optimizing your driver for your strength level, your height, and your level of experience. In the beginning, make sure you get a driver with a larger sweet spot, as that will help you ensure that you’re hitting the ball consistently. As you improve, you can opt for a smaller head, which will give you more fine control over how and where the ball sails.
Follow Through
One of the classic mistakes that newer golfers make is not following through on their swing. If you’re finding that your ball tends to skip along the ground, or that you’re hooking or slicing it in the wrong directions, you should practice following through, both with the club itself and with the turn of your body. Don’t tense up when you hit the ball. Make sure that your swing happens in one smooth, fluid motion.
