Driving sets up all the other shots necessary to shoot a low score. It’s very difficult to play well without driving the ball into the fairway.

While there are many different swing methods golfers use to drive the ball correctly, all employ the basic fundamentals that give the golfer the best chance to drive the ball well. These fundamentals include proper grip, stance and alignment to the target. Specific to driving, ball position is very important; the ball must be positioned in the stance slightly more forward than for other shots. This is because the ball must be struck slightly on the upswing so that the club face is at the optimal launch angle as the club head nears ball impact.

Good driving requires good rhythm and timing; a hurried, quick swing will surely cause a poor tee shot. A good swing thought for driving is to swing the club head back slow and slow and to start the club head down in an equally unhurried motion. This will give the golfer the timing and rhythm necessary to send the ball down the fairway.

This will allow you to hit the ball much farther without having to exert as much energy. People think that they will be able to muscle the ball further simply because they have bigger muscles. Big muscles do NOT equal farther drives. In order to get stronger for you golf, you must learn how to train your core. The core is simply the most important part of the body for ANY sport and it is no surprise that it is just as important for golf. When you perform a golf swing, you are rotating and torquing your body to create as much tension as possible before you unleash and attack the ball. In order to get more torque, you must get more flexible and at the same time stronger. Players like Camillo Villegas are famous for taking golf to the next level physically and he has been one of the most fit golfers on the tour. He however was not the first as Tiger Woods is credited for making golf an actual sport and not just a sport to “play.” If you are serious about hitting it farther, you must get stronger.
