Hey, we understand your need to crush drives, drill your fairway woods and even muscle your iron shots, but don’t forget that even in long-drive competitions, the ball still needs to find the grid to rack up a good score.
The key to hitting the golf ball a long way is to generate significant clubhead speed and make solid contact.
Setting up with the ball in the right position is absolutely vital if you want to hit it big.

Golf, by its very nature, is like a variety of sports. As in other sports where you’re required to kick, throw, hurl or hit an object, in golf, we use a rotational motion that’s leveraged against the ground, which produces a powerful circular, free-flowing swing.
At the top of your swing, if your body doesn’t rotate properly so that your weight and balance are too much on your left side, (so that your body resembles a C), you’ll not only lose a lot of power, but also slice or pull your shots.
When your ball finds the deep rough like the position I’m in here, the smart play almost always is to take a higher-lofted club and either lay up or pitch the ball back into the fairway.
Beverage cart girls can be irresistible. They flirt, offer up snacks and cold drinks, and then let you get on with the round.
Top shots happen when you lose the spine angle you established at address and stand up as you approach the ball.
