Brief Golf Tips To Help Your Game - By: Lee MacRae

Golf drives are one of the most intimidating and yet most rewarding shots in golf. Here are some quick tips to help improve your own golf drives.

Finish towards the target. Pick a spot on the ground that lines up with your target and from your address stretch your wood towards it. If done correctly, your arms should form a V shape with both arms fully extended. Finish the swing over your left shoulder. Do you have a tendency to bend your left arm early. That also will retard distance; keep your V as long as possible before it bends at the finish of your swing and you will find youself getting much more distance.

You're driving will improve if, before you swing, you draw a mental picture of:

1. Your position at the top of your swing

2. The clubhead swinging through the impact area

3. Where you want your club to finish up [the best way to do this is to pick out a target on the horizon and swing your club toward it]

These images represent the three keys to any good swing: the backswing, the impact, and the follow-through.

Most Sunday golfers are tight in their body muscles. Actually they know it they but aren't doing anything about it. The basic key is to implement various stretching exercises that are specific to golf. The type of exercise you use should be very similar to your golf swing. Simply break your swing down into phases and you will discover many benefitial stretches.

Work on these tips and make sure you tee off with a positive mindset. The more you practice and implement what you learn, the more confidence you will gain in your ability to hit it straight and long. And watch your scores begin to plummet!
