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.
